Landcruiser problem

Actually it is a 100 series built in 2000. Its done 300000 klms, which is why a new pump went in last year. I'm told that Toyota guarantee their genuine parts for 12 months, with unlimited klms. I hope this is true but I'm getting different feedback, and of course, the run around by Toyota.
Otherwise the cruiser has been perfect. But like you, I'm starting to have my doubts when mechanics can't isolate the problem!
Thanks anyway.

Good golly miss molly,

Johnbb, there's a big difference between a 100 series and a 200 series.

Sort of blows your Post's credibility a bit.

Thanks for your cynacism 'Gone Bush". Sorry I can't type well!

Johnbb,
I think we all understand that an occasional typo can creep into our messages from time to time.

However, Gonebush has good a very valid point.......

If I wrote that I had a 3 litre Patrol and it has blown up, then everybody would assume that I was talking about a GU Patrol circa 2000 to 2007/8/9 etc.

However, if I meant that i had an RB30 Patrol (a GQ from the early 90's), that would change the whole complexion of my post.

When you start a post and mention a specific vehicle that you are having trouble with, I think it is vitally important that you at least proof read the salient points. In this case, the fact that you left a "0" off the 2000 (making it a 200 Landbruiser), has totally corrupted the intent of your message/question.

Cheers

Have 200 series got problems with their pumps?

Have you asked the question in the 100 series section on LCOOL.org? Lots of cruiser' experts floating around there and l think would be more beneficial than a generic site like this.
Good luck with it anyway, the 1HD-FTE's are great engines!

Cheers,

John, My neighbour had the same sounding fault and was fixed as above.

John,
Nobody is having a go at you.
It is very hard to help when we don't know what motor you have.
There were two diesel motors in Landcruisers in 2000 - the normally aspirated diesel and the factory turbo diesel. Which one is yours?

Cheers
Phil

I have the factory turbo.

I have never been on a forum site, so I was surprised to hear somebody attack my site's credibility over a minor mistake when all I was asking for was advice. Or do some people post bogus stories sometimes? Like I said, I'm new at this.

One other thing about this problem, is that about a month ago I tried to drive the vehicle, the rattling started, and I could not go more than 20kph for about 300 metres. There was no power. Then suddenly the rattle stopped and the car ran perfectly again. I took the car into the local Toyota place since the engine light was on. They checked it on the computer, tightened a few fittings and gave it back to me. The car then went perfectly for the next 2000 Klms. Being an intermittent problem makes it hard to diagnose I think.

Cheers

John,
Its also possible that air is being entrained in the fuel, and that your injector pump itself is OK. I'm guessing thats what the dealer thought too.
The injector pump sucks the fuel from the tanks. If you have a loose clamp on a fuel line, or crack in the fuel filter housing or similar, then air can be sucked in at that point causing an intermittent problem. I'm assuming that you dont run either of the tanks dry.

As far as forums go, you would get the same response on any forum. When someone posts a question, its good to check for typos or errors before you click the submit button. In your case, you were unlucky enough to post "200" which as you know is the current series Landcruiser with the TT V8 and which has had the odd injector issue. On some other forums they make you leave a signature which includes your vehicle (in your case a HDJ100) to prevent this from happening. The people who reply to your post sometimes spend considerable time and effort to give you an answer. They can get annoyed if their time is wasted.

Hope your problem gets sorted - they are a good vehicle.

Phil

Thanks for the advice- on both counts.

I don't ever let the tanks run dry.

I plan to give the comments to the dealer in case it is of some help.

Cheers and thanks again.

Air in a system can cause a loud rattle, I have no idea why, but have come across this before.
Air can also cause poor performance, due to the air compressing, and not injecting fuel.

Maybe a quick run around the hose clamps from the tank, and inspect the fuel priming pump atop the filter too.
Hilux priming pumps are bad for this, particularly after a filter change where the pump gets used, and the diaphragm gets moved, and opens up the cracks in it.

But again, Lcool, and a diesel shop are good advice.

Can you not edit to correct 2000 instead of 200?

You cannot edit posts on this site.

Something which could be considered desirable as on the C&M forum
