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

[timo07]

Ung sa manual every how many Kilometers ang fuel filter change? pagka alam ko sa manual matagal yan.

Sa diesel engine, hindi naka specify. Sa gasoline engine, every 80K km.

btw, isa lang ba ang fuel filter sa engine? sa gasoline engine wala ng fuel filter diba?

Both Diesel and Gasoline engines of Toyota have only 1 fuel filter. fuel filters are standard in every engine. You don't want any impurities from fuel to go into your combustion chamber and wreak havoc on your cylinder liners and other components of the fuel delivery system such as injectors.

Share ko lang, kanina may nakita akong Innova D4D, NOP letter ng plate no, color green, nagbubuga ng black smoke.

Ano kaya year model nito?

Either 2009 or 2010 year of acquisition. Should be the facelifted version as green color came out around 2009, I think.

I saw it in the manunal, that diesel engine fuel filter shouldn't be change periodically. wala nga naka specify.

diesel or gdi gasoline engine dapat palaging malinis ang fuel filter, mas malimit ang palit mas maganda, protektado ang fuel injectors.

Yang sinasabi sa manual na interval of filter change yan ay guide lamang, assuming na malinis ang kinakarga na fuel.
Dito sa atin laging sinsabi na marumi ang gasoline at diesel fuel, hindi naka abot sa euro 4 specs, matutuwa ang makina pag laging malinis ang fuel filter, of course and driver ay magkaroon ng trouble-free experience. Ang di matutuwa ay ang bulsa ng owner, but heck mura lang ang fuel filter.

kailangan ba original toyota filter ang gamitin? dehins ba pwed mga ibang brand of fuel filter?

[Ry_Tower]

kailangan ba original toyota filter ang gamitin? dehins ba pwed mga ibang brand of fuel filter?

Puwede naman, puls sa diesel, advisable na every 20K kms or 1 year ang palit ng fuel filter. Yung iba nga every 10K kms palit fuel filter na eh. (me included)

[Retz]

^

every one year or 20k? sa manual kasi nakalagay lang "fuel filter for diesel engine need not be change periodically". Mdyo malabo. 30K na ako and hindi pa napapalitan fuel filter ko.

Agree 100%

Using original parts are always the safest bet.

I change my fuel filter every 5K along with oil change (I only use mineral oil).

As weisshorn mentioned, guide yung nasa manual. Have your filter changed and tingnan mo kung anong itsura ng filter element. At 5K km interval ko, I can already see dirt accumulation in the filter. Again, it's cheap insurance. At about 450 pesos per element per 5k km change interval, hindi na masakit sa bulsa.

lahat ng auto may fuel filter gas or diesel ay meron LOL.

[BRIAN]

anyone experience sa Toyota Fortuner 2005 3.0 4x4 yun engine medyo may gggrrr....or rough sound bigla lang kahapon wala eh, pag nag idle up.

Cge, I'll replaced na my fuel filter. What are the steps of changing a fuel filter? ung fuel filter lang ba ang pinapalitan or meron kasama mga rubber gasket, washers, etc. and may valve or fuel pump (disabled) ba na sinasara dito while replacing the fuel filter? TIA.

I suggest have it done sa casa para makita mo how they do it. They will usually remove flexible hose connection, remove wiring harness connection, then disassemble the whole fuel filter assembly. Unscrew top portion of filter housing then remove filter element. Change with new element (I don't recall seeing any gasket or o-ring, hence my suggestion to have it done initially sa casa before DIY), reassemble then reconnect hoses, wiring harness. Open drain then use priming pump to remove some air in the assembly. Close drain then continue priming the fuel system before starting engine.

okay, thanks bro. the whole process of changing fuel will take approximately 30mins? how much kaya charge ng casa for the new fuel filter and labor cost?

Yes, sandali lang nila gawin. The filter element costs under Php500. Actually, during the regular PMS I think it will not cost you extra on labor. Kasama na yata sa regular labor cost nila for the PM. Hindi ko matandaan yung details ng PMS ko. Kung separate, hindi ko lang alam kung magkano ang labor. You can inquire sa casa kung yun lang muna ipapagawa mo.

nagtataka ako bakit hindi sinama sa PMS and nakalagay kasi sa manual na "fuel filter need not change periodically". So, I was thinking na hindi siya tulad ng oil filter na you got to change it regularly. Anyway, I will just inquire it na lang sa casa. Safe ba pag sa labas na lang ako magpapalit ng fuel filter just in case?

safe naman yun kung sa labas ka papalit brader, bilin mo na lang ung fuel filter sa labas. hehe. sabi sakin every 20K PMS pinapalitan yun. sakin di na, twing 10K PMS palit na ako nung fuel filter. bali sa 25K PMS ko ulit papapalitan kasi pinalitan ko na last 15K PMS ko. sabi sakin ng chief mechanic, eto no.1 source ng D4D problems, dapat palagi malinis fuel filter dahil sobra sa dumi daw diesel natin dito sa pinas. yung sakin di pa ng indicate na may water sa fuel filter pero nakita ko sa casa kung panu baklasin yun, pinakita sakin mismong fuel filter ko, super color yellow na sya (ang dumi talaga) then may water na sya, di pa lang nga umaabot sa level yung indicator kaya di pa nag la-light sa dashboard.

cge, salamat brader. ang dumi na rin cguro ng fuel filter ko. kailangan ko na rin palitan ito.

[ericson21]

mali pala brader, haha. i mean bilin mo fuel filter sa casa, pakabit mo na lang sa labas. :D

[Retz]

mali pala brader, haha. i mean bilin mo fuel filter sa casa, pakabit mo na lang sa labas. :D

bakit brader? dahil original ung fuel filter sa casa at replacement fuel filter lang sa labas?

[ericson21]

bakit brader? dahil original ung fuel filter sa casa at replacement fuel filter lang sa labas?

yes brader. orig yung parts dun sa casa, that is for sure. yung pagkakabit, alam na ng mga mekaniko yun, mani na lang sakanila yun. mas mahirap naman kung yung di orig yung parts, baka magloko lang after a few months.
