Is it possible that there are slight differnces in the Hiace motor to the Hilux motor. The Hiace motors don't seem to be quite as bad as the Hilux motors, but my 07 Hiace sounds like it has a 3' piston in a 4" barrel when it starts. An injector change helped but 30000km later the noise is back.

How long before it stops making that noise and are you letting it warm up before you drive off if so how long do you warm it up for

I know of a 2008 Toyota Hiace D4D with 380,000 km and its rattled like a knackard engine from day one and its still going good and still sounds knackard.

Not many people now days warm things up,have seen some that start up like stationary generator ,the jandal down before the oil lite gone out !school of thought that you dont need to,now days.

I start the van, adjust seatbelt, stereo etc then drive off. But for the first 10 min I dont use more than 1/3 throttle or rev over 2000rpm. When I get to work ( about 15min) the motor noise has lessened but I still think its excessive.I get a new Hiace later this week so it will be interesting to see the difference. My current one only has 148000km on the clock but its on a 5 year lease so back it goes.

Ya might want to warm the new one up before you drive it and it will last longer do you understand that diesels don't like to rev

Its a well known fact that all work vans are white, all white work vans get thrashed, all white work vans never need servicing, and are faster than all other vehicles on the road. This is shown every morning on Auckland motorways. But my van is red. Yes I only wait about 20 sec before I start moving in the van, but I baby it for some time until it is warm. Its mostly downhill for me for the first 6 km so I cruize quietly along. But it still makes a rattle. And to think I had a choice of either a Hiace van or a Great Wall SUV! But thats not really a choice.

My vans where red one still is try the warming up thing you might save some fuel as well I used to go out start the van come back inside and finish my coffee and then leave usually 5 or so minutes later maybe that's why I have had no problems I looked after mine

Yep Hiace doesnt seem to have the issues due to re-mapping. My 05 Hiace has only done 131,000km and no issues

Intrade the issue with blown 1KD engines in Hilux was due to lack of correct servicing in all cases. 05 till 07 copper seats needed replacing at 45000kms and this was in the service scheudel. The seat was revised to a coated copper and the 45km replacment was still in place 07 till 09. Then the seat went to alloy and no longer requires replacment. Hiace required the seat replacment at 90000km due to different ECU mapping the combustion pressures are not as high as the Hilux. In all cases of engine failer it has been proven that the seat washers had failed and allowed carbon to blow past the injector into the oil and block the oil pump pick up. All avoidable if the 45-90km services had been done correct.
