Still a sore point for me and from what ive heard alot of other people. Toyota have missed out on one hell of alot of sales due to this same problem all over the country, despite wheather or not they think they are still doin the right thing by not standing behind a known fault and goin that extra step futher by keeping there clients either happy or informed. keep on ordering in those injectors boys

ulsd diesel does that, flashlube in every tank of yuel would have prevented any of these problems also morreys diesel smoke stop will work also and a few other additives like winns edt etc.

How is it their fault if people aren't servicing their trucks adequately!

its the ethanol contermination causing rust in diesel and the ulsd is not lubricating enough on somebatches of fuel causing premature wear of injectors , injectors then spray outside the designed moulde of the piston and melt a holecause borewash etc. to destroy the engine. thats only on direct injected diesel. part of the fix is also fitting dlc injector nozzles.

the amount of injectors that have come into this country for hiluxs in the last 6 years and you recon its because of dodgy macanics ! give me a break buddy. If its not just an incoveniance to have to chage them its more anoying to have to wait for a plane to arrive with the stock because toyota havent got any in stock. just one thing after another
theyre are gettina bad rap because they should

Unfortunately this is a common problem. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did, my dad used to have one and the injectors crapped out after only 60000ks, serviced regularly too.

Here is a lesson on cutting costs for you. The mechanic down the road is cheaper than toyota, so he can service my new car but he does not know what is required to keep the service plan, so he changes your oil and maybe your filters. If it had gone to toyota they would have serviced it correctly and you would still be driving your hilux not sitting at your computer telling us that d4d engines are crap. Now can you see that if you had had your hilux serviced by toyota you would have saved money ie you wouldnt be looking for a new engine. As for the numpties that say toyota should be paying for it get real if anyone apart from the op should be paying it would be the clown that serviced it

I have a sheep shagger for sale, he's out in the paddock. He keeps going like the energizer bunny so may be a good replacement.

most workshops should no by now to inspect oil pick up when doing service.you can see it through the drain plug hole.

noone had told me or my service agent that they needed to be changed, there for they were never changed. Does anyone think that Toyota or any other make of vehicle should have let every service agent no that they need to be aware of this kind of service rather than waiting for word of mouth to get round! I recon there needs to be a website prepared for all mechanics and owners of every vehicles and there common faults. kinda like an advanced dog and lemon guide. Whats your thoughts

Not sure why you think Toyota should tell all after market service agents how or whats needed to service there vehicles.As Toyota is Sales , Parts and Service they have no gain in giving away. If your service agent was any good they would have requested a service schedule from a dealer and it would have told him the valve clearances needed checking at 45000kms. and to do that job by the Book the injectors need to be removed.

F M !what a lame excuse that is mate, surely toyota would do everything they can to save their reputation, as building reliable auto manufacturer ! & this is'nt the first time they have F# up badly with their junk deisels i'm glad aircraft manufacturers dont have this attitude.
