Ek het netnou 'n kwotasie van net oor die R1500 gekry by Lynnwood Toyota op daardie spiraal kabel. Ek dink ek gaan maar eers die een oopmaak. Daardie gekerm op die vurk het ek Toyota die vurk, pivot en thrust bearing laat vervang. Skynbaar was daar 'n verbeterde ontwerp na my bakkie se vervaardiging...

Snaaks myne se spring coil het ook gegaan. Ek moet nog een soek. Ek het nog nie moeite gedoen nie.

Mars

Miskien moet ek meer spesifiek wees. Jy hoor definitief 'n verkil tussen 4H en 4 L. 4H klink soos 4x2 maar in die laestrek kan jy 'n "sing" geluid hoor. Ek wil dit amper meer as die geluid van "ratte wat draai" beskryf. Dit is nie hard nie maar duidelik hoorbaar. Onthou jy verlaa...

Mars

No it definitely sings. Mine did from new and still does after 208000+ kms. I regularly drive it in 4x4.

Just on the service. Is it still under warranty? It is always a good idea to mention anything you have a concern about whilst the vehicle in under warranty. Even just to make sure it is on record.

Mars

Most of these "modern" cars have rather complex vacuum tube systems (If I can call it that). i.e. lots of little tubes going to all kinds of little valves. I have found on cars that are getting a little older that those tubes start perishing or are damaged by technicians when servicing the...

Mars

Ek het al baie kere gesien dat as 'n ou so 'n skelm probleempie probeer oplos en dan wel uiteindelik die fout vind na baie gestoei dat hy tog vir jou 'n aanduiding gegee het as jy net geweet het waarvoor om te kyk. Op my Nissan Trok het hy so begin het om die battery pole aan te pak en naderhand som...

Mars

All I can tell you is that it is best to phone around because you may get a good price on disk pads at one but the clutch at the other. I got the good price on the valeo at Naskar Silverton

Mars

I haven't replaced disks on my lux yet. In the past I have used Alfa on light vehicles such as Golfs and Jettas with good results. When I need to replace my lux disks I am seriously going to consider the Powerbrake upgrade. Just the disks and pads. http://www.powerbrake.co.za For light vehicles I ha...

Mars

Yup I also really like Ferodos. I have tried the Bosch pads as the dealer did not have stock of Ferodo and fitted them again the last two times and they impressed me very much. Got them for a great price at Value Motor spares in Silverton. They brake well and last well too. I've even now fitted bosc...

Mars

Nog iets wat ek nou aan dink. Ek het al snaakse en heeltemal onlogiese goed sien gebeur met kar elektrieks as die grond nie goed is nie. Moenie net na die earth strap op die ratkas kyk nie maar gaan jou grond draad van jou battery af ook na.

Mars

Thabo maak 'n baie interessante punt. Het jou bakkie 'n elektriese diesel pomp? Ek ken hulle nie so goed nie maar ek stem saam. Dit klink soos 'n elektriese fout. Het die enjin baie warm geword voor jy agtergekom het die belt het afgekom? Baie keer as die belde afspring dan beskadig hulle ander goed...

Mars

I also think it could be lack of lubrication to the pivot point on the fork.

Mars

The Service interval is every 120 000 kilometers.

Kan ek bietjie meer inligting kry oor daardie "liggie" van jou. Kostes ens. Waar kry jy hom?

Dankie

Mars

Ja nee dit klink vir my baie bekend. Dan roep ek ook maar die vrou om te kom help soek en dit eindig altyd op met "as dit 'n slang was....". Maar nou het ek nog 'n verdere uitdaging. Ek het 'n 3 en 'n half jarige wat baie graag vir pappa wil help en dan sommer gou met 'n spanner gaan gate ...

Mars

Do you drive on tar mostly?

Mars

Miskien was jy gelukkig en die timing gear/sprocket het dalk nie te veel geskuif nie en dan het hy nie op die kleppe gehardloop nie. Ek dink dit behoort so te wees aangesien jy darem nog kompressie kry. Dit is laer as spec omdat die uitlaat klep oopmaak voor tdc. Die meeste skade behoort op die cran...

Mars

Die manne by Barden tyres het vir my gesê dat dit druk verwant is. Ek het dieselfde met my BFs gesien. Dit was All Terrains wat ek elke 10 000 geruil het en die druk op so 2.2 gehou het. Die aanbeveling van Toytoa op my D4D 4x4 (wat met Dueller HTs uitgekom het) is 2 Bar op al vier wiele as jy nie v...

Mars

I changed the tensioner on mine when it was time and would do it again at the next change. At 120 000 the one that came out was still perfect with no oil leaking and still very stiff/tight

Mars

Two things appear strange. Regarding a blocked CAT. It is unlikely that it would rev to 6500rpm if it was blocked to the extent that you cannot pull away properly due to lack of power. I wonder if it would rev to 6500 if the valve timing was out. Check the cat first though as this is a much cheaper ...

Mars

Hoe lyk dit dan nou of daardie ding 4 silinders te veel het?

Mars

Hallo Frik

Het hy voor die oordoen van die engine alreeds 'n probleem gehad met timing of na die engine weer aanmekaar gesit is? Is die valve timing nie dalk met een tand uit nie?

Mars

O ek sien wat jy bedoel. As die diff defektief uit die fabriek gekom het en die aste loop skeef kan dit seker groot probleme veroorsaak. Nie dat ek al voorheen daarvan gehoor het nie. Baie interessant.

Mars

My 2006 DC het nou 204000 km op met die oorspronklike voor skywe en nog geen probleme nie.

Mars

Wat my die M03R in maak is die houding wat dadelik ingeneem word dat daar iets fout is met jou en nie die voertuig nie. En dit is nie net Toyota wat hulle daaraan skuldig maak nie. Ek het al 'n paar sulke gevegte ondervind. Hoe lank al bou hulle en ry ons al karre? As enige voertuig sy rem dromme en...

Mars

Why do you think they need replacing?

Mars

I agree. The only way those valves could have bent was due to interference with the piston. Who assembled the motor after doing the head last time? Did they not have the valve timing slightly out and turned the engine (perhaps by hand ?) before realising that and fixing the timing? I am speculating ...

Mars

I have both and agree the chain grips better but there are instances where the other one is easier to use.

Mars

Hi Bedford I have had the exact same experience as you and it is the bakkie telling you that the rear brake shoes are worn. My 3lt DC 4x4 started doing the same at 100 000 ks and the brake linings were almost worn through. So I am certain that at 150000 yours would be too. Last time I got a new set ...

Mars

Interesting post thanks. Since the original bulbs went, I have been replacing with Osram. First the silver stars and then the night breakers. I don't know if it is a trait of my lux but it seems to eat bulbs for breakfast. (Only the headlights). My bakkie is 6 years old and I am on my fourth set. (i...

Mars

I've had to fix up some seriously butchered jobs in my life before. You start to think that they should have a test before they sell a set of spanners to some guys. (or a hammer more pertinently). Although it is frustrating to fix it I find some satisfaction in fixing something some other hack/butch...

Mars

Hi Bedford.

Always a pleasure to help a fellow weekend warrior. You are very welcome.

Mars

Just to add another dimension to this thread for someone in future looking at a solution to clutch/geartrain judder. As I explained on my other thread my 2006 3lt D4D about the clutch master cylinder replacement I also had occasional judder on my clutch, particularly when pulling away on an incline....

Mars

Now here is an unexpected bonus! I followed the other thread on drive train shudder with interest as I occasionally had clutch shudder when pulling away particulary at an incline where you need to use more clutch control and ascribed it to the clutch starting to wear after almost 200k kilometers. Wh...

Mars

Hi Guys Over time I started to realise that changing gears on my lux started getting more and more “notchy”. I also noticed that it is more and more difficult to put it in gear when stationary. If I pumped the pedal once or twice the issue would go away. Occasionally I would also hear a squeak when ...

Mars

Are you talking about the (can't quite make out if its leading or trailing) edges on the outside blocks like we can see in the first pic? My BF AT tyres did the same after a while. I tried to find out and was told tyres with aggressive treadpatterns tend to do that. I'm very meticulous about tyre ro...

Mars

Glad you got it sorted and some good lessons learnt in the process.

Mars

Hi I hope that I don't add to your confusion rather than the solution but here is how I understand it. If you look at the three pins. The centre one (one on top that is at a different angle) with the wide lug is the one that supplies power to the stator in order for the alt to work. This must measur...

Mars

Glad to hear it is sorted and some good information to have thanks.

Mars

You've got it! Just look at the colour of the Bulls Jerseys!!! Need I say more?

Mars

Did you check if the regulator actually burned again? Did you measure the output of the pins after fitting the regulator? Just curious but no idea where to start looking. Not a sparky. If the reg burned again I would definitely suspect the alternator. The output should be in the region of 13 to 14 v...

Mars

No I did'nt use coolant from VW because I had already bought and put some from Toyota in the engine when I realised that they gave me pre-mix i.e. already mixed 50% with water. Like I said above I dont want to pay a premium for their water. Buying the pre-mixed coolant from Toyota cost me exactly do...

Mars

I don't have the invoices with me but about R1300. If I had to buy the full 10 litres it would have been closer to R1400 and if I bought the concentrated coolant from VW in stead R1150.00

Mars

Thanks for the compliments Guys. :cool: I was looking all over for the information on the Internet and found none so when Ooooms asked me to take pics I thought it would be good to share what I did. I made some more changes to the post including some pics of the old tensioner (which I also kept - bi...

Mars

Thanks Ooooms

Even after reading and re-reading the post I still picked up some errors I made. I have tried to edit them all out.

Mars

So here goes my first attempt at a report on fixing a vehicle. I did not take as many pics as I wanted too but should have enough to give a fair idea of what to do. I have never replaced a water pump on a Toyota D4D but the basics remain the same. The problem I was faced with is that the pump on my ...

Mars

Good info thanks

Mars

How many k's has she done? I also think that it is a clutch shudder.

Mars

Great suggestion Trav.

Mars

I also use Delo 400 in my D4D but have used Delo Gold when 400 was not available. Both oils exceed the specs required for the vehicle. I always inspect the oil when I drain it It was interesting to note that the Delo gold also looked and felt fine after 10 000 ks. I always inspect the oil when drain...

Mars

Will do. As far as part numbers are concerned. According to Toyodiy the Toyota part number for the whole pump assembly is 16100-09260. The pump I bought is a GMB pump made in Japan. The quality of the casting, impeller and finish of the pump appear very good. The GMB part number on the box for the p...

Mars

Dankie Hoppy Just an update on my water pump replacement. When I looked on Toyodiy I noticed that the waterpump assembly consists of two parts. A casing that extends underneath the timing belt and timing belt cover (obviously) and a pump assembly that attaches to the casing. The water pump on my 200...

Mars

Hi Guys I have been looking around on the forum but don't seem to get any information on this. Does anyone know if it is necessary to remove the timing belt cover and belt in order to replace the waterpump on a 3lt D4D? If this is so then what are the index marks I need to align before I remove the ...
