Hilux 4x4 Forum

Mine on 314k with original head and original clutch using no oil and last tank of diesel gave me 9km/l.

My Prado turbo has blown just before Bloemfontein on my way back to Pretoria from holiday :frustrated: . Does someone know of a reputable mechanic in Bloemfontein that can help with repairs. The turbo is actually still under warranty and I need to send it back to Pretoria for repairs and then back t...

2001 KZTE DC 4X4:

304 894, No major repairs on engine, but had diesel pump overhaul and proactively replaced radiator.

Any heater radiator for a IFS laying around in Gauteng, preferably in Pretoria. Was not in time to buy one today or get repaired because the dash stripping took to long this morning. I don't want to wait for Monday and nothing is open on the holiday. I'm scared I will start to forget how to put back...

Ek sien jy het die 2x4 kz, ek dink nie hulle het n steering damper.

Dit is die "shock" wat op die stuur stang sit en keer sodat jy nie jou duim breek op die stuurwiel as jy 4x4 ry en n groot klip slaan. Myne het begin seize en die geraas maak as ek skerp draai.

Myne het ook gekreun, toe was dit die stuur demper. Die ding het ook olie op my bashplate gemors.

Is see on your profile picture that your canopy has roof bars. The expensive option is to buy the Thule footing for the roof bars or the footing for the gutterless cab. The cheaper option is to try the Holdfast roofbar option or the canopy. I think it might fit on the Thule bars. Check it on their w...

Eventually I took my bakkie to a diesel specialist. The outcome was that the diesel pump's housing and piston had severe wear and tear and that it was releasing pressure. Fixed it and problem solved. However my bakkie is still idling rough at some stages. Does someone know what it could be?

Het jy al probeer om daai crank shaft position sensor uit te haal of net te toets? Dit is onmoontlik op daai plug af te haal met die spasie wat jy het.

Hi, ek het myne getoets, dit het kode 14 uitgeskop (Time control system). Ek het toe die timing control valve self vervang (ten duurste die part by toyota gekoop, R4050!), maar toe was dit nie die probleem nie. Om 'n lang storie kort te maak moes ek weer my diesel pomp overhaul omdat daar erger wear...

Thanx, I have checked it, but will do so again the weekend, just to make sure.

Thanks! I also thought it was maybe a relay for spot, but the bakkie doesn’t have spots. I have 2 problems with my KZTE: 1. Sometimes it idles rough, other times not. 2. When traveling up a long hill you can feel the bakkie starts to lack power and then the engine light comes on. When I take my foot...

Here is a extract from the manual relating to the spill control valve relay location, but it is not there in my bakkie.

I'm currently using the KZTE engine manual to troubleshoot the reason why my engine light comes on and will explain later the symptoms that the bakkie have. While searching for the spil control valve relay (on the passenger kick pannel as the manual states, but found nothing), I found this relay in ...

George, my KZTE (2001 model) doesn't have it. Do you maybe have a photo of it underneath the panel?

The KZTE manual show that the spill control valve should have a relay in on the left hand side kick panel in front. I cannot find that relay, because I want to check it as indicated in the manual? Or does the ECU have that function and the relay was just for mechanical pumps on previous models?

John did you sort out the problem? I have the same problem for a year now and is driving me crazy! Also tried everything. First replaced all the filters, then cleaned the diesel tank and then came the injectors. Had the wiring check by someone, but no loose connections. Also did the diagnotics recen...

It will cost approximatly R500 000 to convert a vehicle to an unstoppable tank.

Where did you get this? Is it working well?
