News flash!!!! Missin owners have infiltrated Yota delivery centres and have been sawing the engines in half and removing a turbo to create a level playing field

Wonder if they are having problems with the poor quality of aussie diesel?
Do they run a diesel particle filter (PDF) in the exhaust to meet Euro IV?
If they do, wonder of they are having the same problem as the NS pajero diesel automatics that have a PDF? i.e. regeneration problems with the PDF.

Heavens, not a problem with the Yota?

i heard a rumour its an ecu thing

Has anybody else noted the issue on another forum about the load capacity on the 200?? The vehicle tare is 2700kg or thereabouts and the GVM is 3300kg giving a load carrying capacity of just 600kg, well down on its competitors.

Woudn't they be having the same issues with the 70 series V8?

Also they surley had extensive testing done in Australia over the last year or so

I'll get one when the mark11 comes on the market, better to wait for the 2nd edition so that they have ironed out any problems in the mean time I will enjoy my 100 series

That's interesting. Maybe BP's new Ultimate Diesel, introduced in WA this month, should be the way to go.

This is from the BP Ultimate Diesel website:




Introducing the new BP Ultimate Diesel - a first for Perth motorists
Perth motorists can now enjoy the benefits of BP Ultimate, in Diesel! This new BP Ultimate Diesel will be rolling out to 40 Perth BP service stations commencing late October.

BP Ultimate Diesel is a premium, high performance diesel fuel formulated to clean your engine to help you get more kilometres per tankful while improving engine performance and lowering CO, CO2 and hydrocarbon emissions.

BP Ultimate Diesel is suitable for all diesel vehicles and has been independently tested to demonstrate benefits with ongoing use compared to ordinary diesel.

BP Ultimate Diesel has been tested in a range of vehicles including passenger cars, SUV’s, LCV’s and utilities. Engine types tested include Direct Injection, Direct Injection–Common Rail, Indirect Injection and Electronic Unit Injection.

NB: Vehicle testing was conducted by Orbital in Australia and at Millbrook proving ground in the UK.

Anti-foaming agent, for a pleasant refuelling experience

BP Ultimate Diesel contains an anti-foaming agent that reduces the foaming that can occur during the refuelling process. This helps you to avoid possible splashback and spillage while lessening the odour commonly associated with diesel fuel, adding to a more pleasant diesel refuelling experience with BP Ultimate Diesel.
Reduced noise, for a more pleasant drive
Noise is a familiar problem associated with diesel engines which can adversely affect your comfort factor while driving. The cetane number of some diesel means the fuel can be slow to ignite and then burns too rapidly, leading to high rates of pressure build up. These poor combustion characteristics can give rise to excessive engine noise and vibration, particularly under cold starting conditions.

As a result of its powerful cleaning properties and high cetane rating, BP Ultimate Diesel can improve diesel engine noise compared to ordinary diesel. BP Ultimate Diesel really can contribute to a quieter drive.

Reading between the lines and cross referencing what they say about their 'new' fuel (less foaming, less 'diesel' smell, cleans fuel system, lubricates components, runs smoother etc) it sounds to me like they have added some biodiesel as all those characteristics come with bio.

It's a myth, Toyotas do not have problems!!!
