Does anyone have any tips on replacing this? I noticed slight oil leaking/ weeping 10 years ago when I bought my hilux now 200000km later the leak is getting worse. Oil is getting on to the water pump/alternator drive belt(seems to make belts squeal very slightly on cold start), there is oil on the ...

I did mine last year but mine was the intake valves on No 4 cylinder.

I measured shims on the weekend, I need a No. 6 & No. 7 shim, ordered from Toyota but have to wait as they don't have No. 7 in SA has to come from Japan!

GTO

I had a slight oil leak on No 3 cylinder's spark plug well.(noticed oil in there when I changed the plugs) So I bought a gasket set from Autozone and pulled the valve cover on the weekend. I changed the valve cover gasket and all 4 spark plug gaskets, old gaskets were all hard and brittle. So while ...

I had the carb rebuilt yesterday at Carburetor Sales&Spares in Paardeneiland.
Butterfly was worn as well as shafts.
It idles beautifully now.

GTO

Thanks, I just want to check if there is any wear on the shaft by removing the air filter housing and checking the shaft for play.

Also I will remove the fuel cap and blow compressed air back up the return pipe just make sure it isn't blocked.

Then I will try Midas for a carb kit.

GTO

Would the high level not have caused the stall and hence difficult starting afterwards(engine flooded?)
Why a low level when not running and a high level when running?
Could it maybe be an issue with the return on the fuel pump?

GTO

I did notice earlier tonight the fuel level in the sight glass is below the middle of the sight glass when not running and way above the middle of the sight glass when running?

There is a brown residue on the shafts and springs on the firewall side of the carb where the shaft exits the carb.

My 95 2.4SRX Hilux with 302000km since last year will idle fine but occasionally the revs drop almost stalling. If I rev the engine it comes right, but if the Aircon(revs drop when AC is cycling) is on it sometimes stalls(but not often). It may go for a few weeks without a hitch, also if it stalls i...

My 02 2700i 4x4 DC with 303000km started making a noise late last year. I noticed it on the way back from a camping trip, the noise is like a slight Grrrr sound and only seems to noticeable above 2500rpm in 3rd, 4th and 5th gears and more so in 3rd. Also around town it doesn't seem to be noticeable ...

1mm play just at the splines. Check the movement of the overall length up to the centre bearing if you move it. You see it gets progressive bigger? 2 options. 1. Re grease the yoke till all old grease comes out. 2. Redo the yoke at prop shaft workshop if there is more play suspected. This can cause...

GTO

That is where I am getting the 1mm rotational movement on the splines.

Is this the universals?

Mud Dog wrote:Over-greasing causes no harm, just a dirty undercarriage. You can check it both ways, acceleration and deceleration.

Thanks, so far it seems fine on acceleration/deceleration.

GTO

Yes, of course it would sound worse from outside. Greasing is essential and don't forget to grease the universals as well - that includes the front prop shaft too. When it gets to the point of vibration, then it's time for the prop to be re-conditioned. Does it do it as well if you have your foot o...

GTO

Yes it's still acceptable and not at all uncommon with the mileage. The backlash on the diff is normal and a lot of that play is taken up by expansion when the diff gets hot. If you want to check it for interest sake after a more lengthy trip than what is typical with town driving, you will find th...

For a while I noticed that my 2700i(293000km) rear prop shaft has rotational play in it, also when shifting from 1st to Reverse there is a slight clunk/thud when the clutch engages. If clutch is engaged slowly there is no clunk, yesterday I checked my brother's 2700i which has a low mileage and ther...

Thanks for the replies, I think I should look at fitting a new immobiliser with better security.
I was wondering about getting an auto electrician to maybe make up a custom one, instead of a bought one as experienced car thieves usually know how to bypass the commercial ones?

GTO

My 95 2.4SRX Hilux immobilizer stopped working on Tuesday, it turned out to be the little stick that is inserted into the slot is faulty not the actual immobiliser, once my wife brought me the spare I was going again. Does anyone know if these are still available from Toyota or am I just better off ...

I am desperately in need of a new drivers side quarter light window frame for my 95 Hilux. I had to replace it 8 years ago to rust damage and at the time Toyota had already discontinued the part.

I had my 02 Hilux re gassed last year September as it wasn't blowing cold air anymore, it lasted until 2 weeks ago and wasn't cold again.

Found this:

Looks like lift could be the culprit(mine has been lifted), that make of clamp is available here in SA.

GTO

My 2700i CV Boots both sides on the outer side(wheel side) have been seeping small amounts of grease out of them.
Boots are fine, some years ago I had a wheel alignment shop replace the clamps on the inner side for the same problem.
Has anyone else experinced this?

GTO

Seems like it could be piston slap, I Googled 3rz engine noise seems like it is pretty common problem, looks like nothing to worry about.
I could try a thinner oil maybe 5W30.

GTO

I have noticed the same with my 2.7, although not every time. If the engine has hydraulic lifters (which I am not sure now), that might be the problem. Once engine is hot or warm, the noise is gone. Can anyone confirm if the engine uses hydraulic lifters, shims or adjustable rockers? Thanks It has ...

My 2700i has started making a light tapping noise after a cold start, no noise at idling but when engine is reved up the light tapping noise is noticeable which seems to me to be coming from the top end.

I made a trip to Allan Venter(Hoppy) , it turns out it is the input shaft bearing in the gearbox that is worn. So its going in next week to be sorted out.

My 2700i charge indicator started flickering on and off with the ignition on engine not running yesterday, now it doesn't come at all.
The alternator is charging however I get 14.5V with my multi meter when the engine is running.
Is it the bulb or a bad connection?

GTO

I bought a Siemens pump from Diesel-Electric for my 2700i when it packed up 2 years ago for R 600(Stealers wanted R 3400).
I also had an injector problem last year with an intermittent misfire, the resistance value on no. 2 injector was way out of spec changed the injector problem solved.

My 2.4SRX has a Nippon Denso 10P15E compressor the shaft seal went a year ago and I had a new seal fitted but it has blown again.
I can get a new compressor from an on line supplier but it is a 10P15C,from the pics it looks identical.
Does anyone know if there is a difference?

I have been having exactly the same problem with my 2.4SRX, it happened a few months ago I sprayed contact cleaner in the connector and the sensor terminals.
It was okay until last week so I sprayed it again and it is behaving itself again.

I found out after my fuel pump failure, that it isn't good to run the tank low on fuel a lot(which I did on quite a few occasions).It makes good practice to fill up when you reach quarter tank.
The fuel in the tank cools the pump some what.

Correct if you have a 4x2, 4x4 has a larger sump and takes 6 Litres.

The 2700i doesn't have a CAT, only the Vigo Hiluxs have CATs

I did 2 more readings again last night.
1st reading:
1&3 15.7 ohms
2 16.3

2nd reading:

This morning(engine completely cold):
1&3 14.6
2 no reading(I can't seem to get a reading)

I have just measured the resistance of 1, 2 and 3 injectors(4 is too difficult to get too)

The manual says 12 - 16 ohms at 20C(68F)

No 1 reads 15.9 ohms and so does 3.

No 2 I can't get a steady reading.

I get 28 then 36 then a 50 ohm reading.

So that injector must be faulty?
