2001 Hilux 2.7 fixed after 1 year 2 months at Toyota

[Frederick Lange]

Great pleasure to inform you all that Toyota eventually fixed my Hilux after being in their workshop for 14 months! After being at 2 other Toyota dealerships previously for 6 months. My poor Hilux never used since June 2011.

It had an electrical problem, would start perfectly and then cut out after 20 minutes, would then not start again before half an hour has passed only to cut out again after 20 minutes.

They stripped out the dash, stripped the complete wiring harness, had the immobiliser disconnected, removed the SAC chip, replaced the ECU, replaced the key control box, stripped the tank and fuel pump, replaced both coils, replaced the spark plug wires, replaced the crank sensor, replaced heat sensor.

Eventually a farmer from the Free State had his own Hilux serviced here in Jo'burg and made a comment to the technicians about the Hilux being there for such a long time (he had his Hilux serviced 3 times seeing mine in pieces).

The farmer recommended they check the black ring around the ignition working with the key transponder. They had another Hilux there like mine for a service, they borrowed the parts and MAGIC, it stopped cutting out! New ignition, lock set and the key transponder ring and we are back on the road again!!
done
The 2.7, now with 386 000 km's is back on the road again! I decided to spoil it with a make-over. Full respray done!!

Will post some pics soon!!!

Jong, was maar net te dankbaar dat die ouens bereid was om my te help. Die ander twee vorige handelaars het sommer vinnig opgegee. Wou hom inruil maar het vroeg in 2011 R46 000 betaal om die enjin nuut oor te doen by Toyota nadat 'n waterpyp gegroet het en die die 2.7 oorverhit het. Die masjien is soos nuut.

Het maar behoorlik koppe gestamp oor die rekening, van die onnodige vervangde parte het hulle betaal en op die einde moes ek net oor R10 000 betaal, hulle wou die Hilux net uit hulle werkswinkel hê.

Moes hom terugneem want die petrol tenk het amper verloor (nie vasgemaak nie), die "vent pype" onder die dash ook verloor, hulle het dit vervang. Vanoggend agtergekom die petrol lek bo uit die tenk by die "float" en hulle het die agter briek pyp geknak, so ek vat hom weer terug

Agente is nie meer wat hul was soos in die ou dae nie. R10000 nog te veel vir hul onvermoe om die probleem te kry.
