Hi
Is it common on the (2013) 3.0 D4D Hilux for the fuel reserve light to malfunction ? I don't trust mine at all but can't pin it exactly is being problematic. I fill up after 650Km simply because the range is shown as low and the gauge is near the bottom. When I fill wits with approx 78 Liters. Then the average range is shown as less than 10 Km and the fuel light had not come on ?
Another question - if the light does come on - what range is typically left ?
Appreciate any advice...
Regards

Contact Gerrit at VR2 instruments. They will gladly assist. I know there is a common problem on the D4D's. The fix takes about 25 minutes. Drive in and drive out fixed.
Matt. 21:28-30.

Thanks for the advice.
Another question - if I run it dry, does it auto-bleed or is there a procedure to bleed the diesel circuit ? I want to test it to see if the light eventually comes on but may run it dry...

Hennie,
op die bokant van diesel filter is knop waarmee jy die diesel deurpomp. Druk op en af totdat jy voel dit raak moeilik om dit gepomp te kry. Dan behoort daar genoeg diesel te wees
As jy onseker is gaan vra by Toyota handelaar dat hulle jou net vinnig wys hoe. Dit is basies selfde prosedure wat gevolg word wanner filter vervang word of as daar water in die filter is

Die pompie is definitief al wat jy hoef te doen. As ek injectors vervang het dan pomp ek net eenvoudig die pompie tot hy moeilik word om te druk. Hy vat 'n paar swaaie om te start.
