Hilux 4x4 Forum

The manual says 69 Nm actually. I'll leave it at 55 Nm then. Thanks.

I replaced my rear wheel bearings and the oil seals. I tightened the four bolts (M10x1.25) of the rear axle housing to 55 Nm for now. Which is 80% of torque the manual calls for. My bolts are greased, not dry. I work in the manufacturing industry. Torque values there are usually dry values. What did...

Isnt engine yn80 and body yn110 I think it is. Though it's a diesel: LN110 (+LN80 engine). It takes a lot of time to figure out of what parts a given platform consists. All those parts should mirror those of my vehicle https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota/hilux-pick-up. LN110 is as close as i...

KZ-TE refers to the engine alone.
KZN190 refers to the platform version. How that model was outfitted basically.

It's a jungle. Good luck with that.

Today I put in new rear wheel bearings left and right. Oil seals were leaking which was the reason to pull things apart. Tapping the new seals in place I would use a short pipe of the right diameter. But I did not have material of the right size. Instead I used large size fender washers M20 which I ...

Both my rear seals are leaking. Do I need to mark the position of the splines realtive to the differential (say 12 oclock), so as to preserve the original mating surfaces of the spline?

I would always use MAG for automotive and other thin body panel stuff, not TIG. TIG welding proces puts substancially more energy/heat into the base metal relative to the filler. This means more shrinking when cooling down. More tension after welding makes it harder to keep things straight (or prope...

I found it. The number sits on a little ridge off of the top side of the cilinder block.

Thanks.

Volkswagen Germany sent me this lousy depiction of engine and the location of the engine number.
I can't find the engine number on my Taro Diesel 2L / Hilux V. Most auto brands are focused on their gasoline series
Would diesels have the number stamped elsewhere on the engine block?

Volkswagen Deutschland says Taro is based off the YN80/LN80 series.

Thanks. You made me register to ToyoDIY.com. Good info on that site. But then I realized that my VIN is from Volkswagen and won't work for looking up Toyotas. Some time ago I sent an email to Volkswagen customer service about the Taro. Haven't heard back from them yet. I also have contacted Toyota J...

True. I studied the Toyota archives quite a bit. Which model was sold where is kind of straight forward. Which export model assembled outside of Japan specifically for a certain continent, that is where it gets kind of murky for a Taro owner. The Toyota Production System and derivatives like 'lean s...

I live in Holland and I bought a Volkswagen Taro 2.4D 4x4 in Finland recently. Original registration date is february 1991. It's a non-turbo diesel (61kW I think). It has double wishbone suspension in the front. Is it correct to assume this car is basically Toyota model LN 110? From page https://www...
