Why is this so?
Now, before Toyota owners get out the poison pen, this is not a Toyota bashing exercise but a serious enquiry.
I've been doing a bit of "on the road" research and I've noted that whenever I cop particularly nasty smelly diesel fumes when following another vehicle, the vehicle is a Toyota.
I'm not talking clouds of black smoke from being over fuelled but slight haze and a nauseating smell.
The vehicles are always 60 series wagons, early hiluxes 2.4l etc and Coasters. Being blissfully ignorant of Toyota engine technology I wonder if these have something in common that would cause this problem.
I wondered if they all were indirect injection and worn out, or if there is some other explanation.
