1. Jeez, my Hilux is a 2012 with 390000ks, original injectors never been out 2. I called my local Toyota dealer about the "valve clearance test" they told me that the just rev the engine and listen to them, lol
I am confused as to why a 3l turbo diesel in a Prado is considered a small diesel? The Prado has a GVM of just under 3000kg and a GCM of about 5500kg. Yet Isuzu will put a 3l turbo engine in a a small truck with a GVM of 4500kg and a GCM of 8000kg. What is different about these two motors that makes it small in a 5500kg GCM vehicle but fine in a vehicle that is designed to carry big loads? Is it gearing? Is it tune? I am sure I am missing something cause I tow with my Prado and I am paranoid every time I go away with it yet companies will put there livelihood on the back of an Isuzu light truck?
Doesn’t matter what I towing capacity is a trucks got a large diesel a car with a four-cylinder of that size is a very small engine that’s what it is larger would be a six cylinder larger again would be a V-8 and then you going to your big stuff
Where is the best place to replace my injectors in Perth? I’ve got a 2010 Prado with 220k. Country car that does long trips generally. Or just go straight to Toyota dealership at my local town for replacement?
Great vid. Shame the hilux body work is crap as is the chassis. No pre prep on the chassis in particular to stop it rusting .. talking 2016 mk8 Let alone the shitty dpf burns that cause more pollution and use more fuel. And fuel getting back into the engine wearing it out before it’s time
Great info delivered with a wry, "I dont suffer fools but theres so many out there" delivery. Bloody brilliant.
Great info wish Toyota didn’t rely just on diagnostics. Need more old school real mechanics with experience without relying on technology
This man knows what is talking about!!!
Great info!
I need a trusted mechanic on the east coast of qld to do injectors on my 2012 hilux. Any suggestions?
Call me 🤙
Old school still the best 👍
Great video. Would you have a recommended repairer in Townsville NQ. Cheers.

Gearing is the answer you seek. And the Isuzu is a much better engine, just sayin' :)

Your sound volume is dead slow, mostly can't hear.
Plays fine for me, turn volume up 🤷♂️
