List of Toyota D4D Probems (Choking, Hard Starting, etc.)

[number001]

People are smarting up. There are more buyers of VVT-i (gas) than D-4D (diesel) at least for Innovas.

Will adding biodiesel additive lessen the problem?

[winnifred]

Have 4 Toyotas (Fortuner, 2 Hi Ace, Innova) with D4D maintanined by company mechanic , luckily no problem , he advise changing the fuel filter every 5000 km. Fuel filter from Casa less than P400. and only takes 10 minutes to replaced. You will be surprise how dirty it is.

hindi lang toyota ang may problem sa d4d... even nissans

kanina pauwi ako a BRAND NEW nissan navarra was infront of me btw i was driving a isuzu sportivo..grabe ung usok nung navarra every time na aacelerate siya may black smoke daig pa ung sportivo ko.. ang may mags siya i think 20" ang pangit ng offset nakausli ang goma.. for sure ako sobrang putik nun.. and btw naalala ko may nagpost din dito na may navarra na malakas ang usok.. kaya hindi lang d4d ang may prob.

[yapoy86]

black to grayish smoke can be attributed to our DIRTY diesel fuel.. unlike in other countries na mataas ang EURO level ng diesel fuel.. sa atin puro sulfur pa din..kaya hirap ang mga crdi na control yung usok...

yung case ng D4D problem is undetermined at nanghuhula lang ang toyota sa solusyon like changing pump, changing catalaytic converter, resetting ecu etc etc etc..

Pacheck up mo sa shop ni Dieseldude, baka sa injection pump ang problem, kung meron man.

mga sir, share nyo naman po yung mga steps kung pano palitan yung fuel fiter ng innova. tska yung proper cleaning ng EGR kung pwede ito i-DIY sa bahay. our innova is a 09 d4d mt, 42++ sa odo, and thank god wala pa naman ako nagiging problem. and i really hope i dont. under warranty pa kaso we decided to have our oil change and other PMS in a gasoline station here at our place. i know this is a very big risk considering d4d's reputation, pero this way nakakapamili ako ng products na gagamitin, i do save money at nakikita ko ang ginagawa sa innova namin. but i still follow my car manual religiously when it comes to maintenance. expect those parts that says "Bring your Toyota to the nearest dealer immediately tsaka Contact your Toyota Dealer.

Sir dieseldude you are a big help to a lot of tsikoteers. thanks

I'm now in Hongkong and I see a lot of Toyota HiAce (Commuter type).. not sure if the models here are D4D..

but.... tama ba ako na most (huge percentage) of D4D problems are on Innovas? Small percentage lang sa Fortuner.... how about sa HiAce? May mga reports na kaya?

From experience, the problem seems to exist on all models. The Innova just has a higher population compared to the the others.

Tsambahan lang talaga. Noon pag brand new auto mo wala kaba ngayon pag minalas buwan pa lang perwisyo na.

DD, any comments on the new Petron Turbodiesel and upcoming type form Shell? Will it help solve these issues kaya?

*Dieseldude. Based on you're experience, this problem is just as prevalent in the 3 liter fortuners as in the other models? Thanks and more power.

Master Dieseldude, PM mo na lang si Club25 ng shop details mo.

mga sir, share nyo naman po yung mga steps kung pano palitan yung fuel fiter ng innova. tska yung proper cleaning ng EGR kung pwede ito i-DIY sa bahay. Fuel filter replacement is easy. Turn the round retainer to unlock the bottom housing, then pull it down. Remove the filter element and replace. The EGR is not a DIY thing.

our innova is a 09 d4d mt, 42++ sa odo, and thank god wala pa naman ako nagiging problem. and i really hope i dont. under warranty pa kaso we decided to have our oil change and other PMS in a gasoline station here at our place. i know this is a very big risk considering d4d's reputation, pero this way nakakapamili ako ng products na gagamitin, i do save money at nakikita ko ang ginagawa sa innova namin. but i still follow my car manual religiously when it comes to maintenance. expect those parts that says "Bring your Toyota to the nearest dealer immediately tsaka Contact your Toyota Dealer. You may lose your warranty support if PMS is not done by the casa.

Sir dieseldude you are a big help to a lot of tsikoteers. thanks

This is probably a supply pump problem which can easily be fixed.

will petron and shell solve these common rail engines since they will launch a new diesel fuel formulated for common rail and conventional diesel engines?

If you're talking about Toyota's unexpected engine shut-downs, I don't think so. It would be good though if Petron and Shell worked on further improving our diesel quality.

From my experience, the problem seems to be specific to the Denso common rail pump which Toyota uses as this fault rarely occurs on Bosch equipped diesel cars.

The solution is through an improvement in Toyota's supply pump, and not on the diesel fuel quality.

Hello Dieseldude!

I am a new member here. I am an a car afficionado myself. I read extensively about the D4D choking problem in this forum.

Just one curious question: all these years that this choking problem had been happening, was there any point in time that TMPC issued a formal re-call to the affected D4D units consumer public or even a silent re-call at all that you are aware of?

Thanks!

I'm now back in Manila.. naalala ko lang yung post ko dito... but I think the Hongkong HiAce's are sporting the 3.0 D4D...
