Toyota D4D engine woes

[apexi_66]

There's a problem din pala wd D4d abroad, Rav4 and AVensis. Nag google ako like mazdamazda said.

Katakot na yang problema ng toyota d4d engine na yan. Kani-kanina lang nag usap kami ng kasama ko sa trabaho na malaysian. Nagkaproblema din sya sa Fortuner nya sa malaysia. Pasyal daw sana sila puntang Genting highland which is puro paakyat pag galing ka ng Kuala Lumpur. Bigla na lang daw huminto ang makina ng Fortuner nya. Di na raw umandar kaya inis na inis daw sya kasi doon pa sa alanganin na lugar huminto. Tow daw siya ng toyota dealer nya balik Kuala lumpur at ang problema daw, fuel pump din at gaya sa pinas, alang stock din daw. Inabot daw ng 4 days ang Fortuner nya sa dealer nya. Kaya advise ko lang, iwasan mo malalayong trip lalong-lalo sa gabi at kasama pa pamilya mo. Minumulto pala ang D4D engine ng toyota. Okay lang sana mamatay ang makina at di na umandar kung yong time na kina carjack sya. Di ba post mo sa INNOVA thread , nagtataka ka bakit mukhang di masyadong ginagamit ng ibang Innova owner ang innova ride nila....may isang idea ka na.

*likot yup somehow you did a right decision but sana you wait nalang 2006 Adventure.

It would be interesting to know if the other countries where D4D owners are having problems have more stringent standards for diesel fuel than the Philippines. If these countries have cleaner diesel and the D4D engines still act up in spite of it, then that would really be a problem for Toyota.

I myself have been to indonesia and all I can see are Innova with VVTi engine only.
I was told that it's Innova country kasi sobrang dami ang Innova sa indonesia. Maski na yong lumang model, tawag sa atin Revo at sa kanila tawag nila Kijang, sobrang dami pa rin sa indonesia. I suspect baka may alam itong mga toyota indonesia tungkol sa D4D engine kaya di nila pinasok sa indonesia samantalang sila yata ang pinakamura as far as price of diesel sa whole asia. Ang sabi sa isang magazine nila, process of testing pa rin daw ang D4D engine sa kanila.

In Singapore, they only sell the 2.7 VVTI Fortuner, since AFAIK, D4D engine did not pass their very stringent vehicular emissions standards. Given the prevailing D4D engine problems, I guess this could be a blessing in disguise for them.

pa'no ba 'yan, mag D4D owners...mukhang naging test bed tayo ng Toyota. It doesn't sound good....

[BlueBimmer]

so far wala naman problema on our unit, test bed or not we are very satisfied with our innova, its the only auv/mpv worth 1M, kesa naman Sportivo/Adventure na panahon pa ng kopong. no offense to owners.

[QUOTE=jagxtrm]guys, my brother gave me his advice... he has a innova d4d G m/t using petron diesel max (without biodiesel or any additives)...

before u stop the engine (by turning off the ignition), u MUST let the engine idle for at least 1 minute (off ang aircon para walang load) para daw mag slow down yng turbine ng turbo...

ang reason daw is to 'release' yng na-build up na pressure sa intake after running the engine at 1,800 rpm or more. also it will prevent early breakdown ng pipes due to 'unreleased' pressure. i think D4D turbo can generate up to 10 to 12 psi of pressure sa intake after running 80 kph or more.

Actually this is true as per the Owners Manual. It is highly advised to let your engine run for 1min before turning it off specially after hiway driving. So far I have no problems with my D4D Fortuner. Starting in the morning 1 click lang but need to warm up. I experience slight knocking for first 200-300 meters. I tried Petron and Shell. My mileage seems higher using Shell diesel although napansin ko na medyo matapang ang exhaust sa Shell (ave 8.7kpl). Sa presyo ng diesel ngayon, I stuck with Shell.
