Earlier I reported that my son’s Toyota Hilux CRD had its injectors damaged.
He had it regularly serviced by Toyota and it was a month outside the warranty with 70k on the clock.
Toyota quoted $5000 but he had a diesel specialist replace them for $4000 who said that it was sediment in the fuel - a common problem with CRD’s. I saw a sample of the fuel and it had flakes of sediment in it about the size of match heads.
I assume Hilux’s have a sediment filter warning system – it didn’t show an alarm on sediment or water accumulation.
The engine alarm light came on after the injectors were damaged.
As a young bloke I worked with consulting engineers designing large minerals processing plants. Though it’s not my field of expertise – I know it would be a simple engineering brief to design an efficient filtering system with blockage alarms – as either original or aftermarket add ons.
Has anyone heard of any?
