What a great channel. I have a d4d rav4, and it's good to see free advice. Some people will never learn even when the advice is good..and free. Thanks guys.

Your knowledge and advice saved my engine from going the same way with only 130k on it

I bought a 2012 iLoad a few years ago and have learnt allll about leaking injector seats and blocked oil pickups.

Slowly getting through your videos. It's such great information that I'm slapping it in my brain, even though I don't own any diesel vehicles at present 😅

Owner a diesel vehicle please watch this video for your own good , And peace of mind. And for the good of the vehicle. Do hope this helps somebody

Friends and family say " sell your old 4wd and buy a more modern one " When I see a video like this I think I'll stick with my old Toyota troopy with it's straight 6 diesel engine, yes it's less efficient, underpowered but it's RELIABLE in the bush , no fancy common rail diesel crap , a lot smoother / quieter than a direct injection 4 cylinder, only had one fuel injection pump rebuild in it's 320 000km life and that was due to mainly dirty fuel / not replacing fuel filters regularly and running out of fuel a few times in the rear tank due to a broken fuel sender . My HZJ75 has an oil pressure gauge as standard , I'm guessing this 4wd doesn't have one ?

Petrol V6, it costs 4ltr per 100km more than diesel, but in the long run, less issues

It's up to the owner/operator to keep on top of maintenance of their Prado or Hilux. Like you say when the "red" light comes on, the damage has been done! The red light coming on is to immediately turn off the engine to prevent any more further damage. The only way to avoid this situation is to fit a oil pressure gauge, but even a oil pressure gauge is limited to saving an engine? For example out on the highway without watching the gauge it can be all to late. Regular oil changes will avoid this type of damage. Even as you have said in your past videos. I change my engine oil every 5,000 kms, for the price of oil and a filter it's cheap insurance.

Good work Anthony and thanks from us all.

Jesus Christ mate you don’t half go on!!!!! Just say what the problem is and tell us how to prevent it!!!

You are the BEST. THANK YOU sir.

I drive a 2012 Ford Ranger 2.2 TDCI 5 speed manual. It's not a Toyota but I subscribed nonetheless... There are some valuable tips/advice here that will save me shit loads of money!!! Thanks for the upload

First thing I noticed was the fact that the timing belt was replaced at 162,000 km... not the best maintenance record. What else has the owner not given too hoots about?

Thanks for the heads up , I brought a 03 at 295 k

1kz still going strong doesn't use oil or water 340xxxkm

Thanks man, great info, I own a 10/2008 120 series, I was aware of the injector seats leaking, in earlier engine that lead to oil pick up blockage, the seats were upgraded around by around 2/2008, fixing that fault, knowing this I made sure I'd buy one that was manufactured after this, recently at 175,000 on it, the last 15,000 I've heard a change in motor, idling a little rough cold, I was thinking injectors, gave it an injector flush a few times, with no real change, I've owned it since it had 110,000, it was x QFleet, well serviced, as I have, so I'll be doing what you've suggested for sure, keep up the good work. Cheers Stephen

I think this is a very long winded video. It rabbits on about injectors but only at the end does it actually touch on briefly why injector servicing is important. Instead it talks about the oil pick up being blocked and causing oil starvation. Ie dirty oil and lack of servicing. So logically most of us would conclude if you change the engine oil regularly this shouldn't happen. Which is correct in part. As clearly there is another aspect to the injectors which basically is to deliver fuel that isn't well articulated. Or well understood. One of the big issues with injectors failing is that it can lead to diesel fuel diluting the engine oil. In bad examples the sump literally progressively fills with fuel and this destroys the essential lubricating capability of the engine oil. Some engines are particularly prone to this risk. Cheers and thanks will do some more research into my vehicle and get injectors serviced and or replaced.

Prado hospital.......lol ive spent the $2200 on injectors before under mechanics suggestion, great video to see why. just put 2nd timing belt on with help from your videos, thanks for the content

Hey sir, Thanks for all your videos I have a hilux 2007 1kd-ftv 450000km. Has an engine noise and so I've taken the rocker cover off and noticed it was completely dry on the top of the engine.

Well done Anthony.Sad to see all your hard work trying to keep Toyotas on the road and some folk just dont do the basics and invest in keeping their investment just that! Thanks for all your hard work and Look forward to your videos on hoe it all worked out inthe end .Anthony,Thank You!!

Thanks

Tons of videos of yours show D4D engines with issues and what they sound like, but do you have any clips in any of your vids that show what a healthy d4d should sound like? Mine sounds kiiinda similar when I fire it (2004 with 190,000km) but others say its totally normal. hard to know! thanks @fourbydiesel

Try and inspect me my oils pick up on every service. Interested to see what the pickup looks like in this vehicle...

Any tips on where to get the injector job done right Sunshine coast Queensland ? Thanks for the videos

Create a playlist just for this vehicle and all videos associated

There’s a lot of money to be made due to people’s incompetence. If people just following the manufacturer’s service schedule it’s so much cheaper in the long run. And as the vehicle ages it needs to be more frequent.

Pretty local to you, see u in 20 thousand km with my 2013 hilux. Up to 150k

What about 2 stroke oil? Will it be a positive contribution? Mine is on 320 now but have done a re-over on injectors on 290 for safety reasons while doing a remap on 210z now 320 and still going good👍🏻

To avoid this problem buy a Xmas next time for a longer trouble free engine, my last one did 550kms and I still driven by my son.

How many kms is a function of how fast you are going when the engine is running. So the issues will occur at certain engine hours not kms which explains why some vehicles are affected earlier than others. Have you been able to determine what hours ? I own a 2013 Hilux with 160k ...now subbed !! My oil changes are every 5k (at least whilst I’ve owned it). Is there an easy way to check the oil pick-up? Informative channel.. Cheers

Could he be thinking he could fit 3 batteries in this Prado? Who gave him that idea? Elon Musk?

If this sound was developed instantanally, This engine could have a leaking inyector at some degree prior hydraulically Block the piston. Botton end could be ok if the engine has not been running for longer period. Anyway an oil analisis should be performed for better recommendation of the botton end, if the problem is just an injector

Hi Anthony, Cheers for another awesome video. Can you recommend a workshop in Perth?

Besides the loud noise...is there any other symptoms we could look for? Like smoke in the exhaust or bad fuel economy..?

I have a hilux 3.0 vn turbo and theres some oil leak at the enginrs body and while accelerating its vibrating alot but once it crosses 50kms the vibration goes away.the mileage is 100k to be exact.can you please tell whats the issue.i would be grateful.

What's with the oil cap bouncing about there. Just tried and mine does this (but no tapping noise) - should I be worried?

15k? Ill rebuild it for him $14,990

What a feeling they are over price and over rated I have been saying this 4 many years.

Oh what a lemon Toyota. My 2006 4.2 gu patrol has nearly 300,000kms and never had a problem change oils,filters. No blow by at all cap does move.

Sounds like a Great Wall

I thought Toyota's went forever and had no problems.

My kun26r has about the same amount of blow by, time to send mine in

How much is a new long motor for this Prado?

Hi pal is that a 1 kd engine

Broken injector. Total loss of power.

Please try and get to the point.....

I always hear people say the injectors need changing due to the poor seating but is changing the seat washers only a good enough preventative measure rather than going the entire expense of new injectors aswell?

Gday mate, awesome videos. How can we get in touch with you? Cheers

So avoidable , by not buying a Toyota 😁

Why are there 6 thumbs down 🤷‍♂️

waffle on selling your self, just get to the point

you talk too much
