Outer Limits 4x4 Board

gust wondering if Any one has had problems with the new 70 series cruisers as i had.
fuel supply pump went in the first two weeks of having it

we have one at work- done 16,000kms so far, loaded up to 3700kg since day one, and hasnt missed a beat.

Was it a warranty problem or from bad fuel. The only thing I have heard is the 200 series high pressure pumps causing stalling problems.

it was a warranty . but they could not tell me what happened to it but when they changed the pump the got water in the starter motor and that shorted out the next week. thanks to toyota

fair go bud with the fuel issue shit happens theres no need to blame the poor bugger that has to change your fuel pump. washes the motor (does a good deed) not nessaserly his fault it drives me up the wall when this crap pops up.

How the fark did they get water in the starter motor??? I do agree about the hosing out the engine bay comment, to often do I see our utes come back from servicing and still have oil all around the filter. Its good to see some work shops still take care of their customers.

I've heard many report of excessive oil consuption from the the new 4.5 V8, but then those people need to remember that with the extended oil change interville of 15,000 klms for the new engines of course its going to burn more oil.

My mates one is using oil, but he is running insane boost. 8000kms, no dramas yet

I have a LC 200 GXL TTD, currently at 24,000 kms. no oil required to be added to the engine outside of normal servicing at 10,000 kms. Toyota has revised the service interval of the 4.5 twin turbo V8 from 20,000 to 10,000 kms. Toyota are now apparently reprogramming the ECU to correct a stalling fault that has occurred on a few diesel 200's. Previously they were replacing the fuel pumps. Seems to have fixed the faults,by all accounts.

Cheers

For a 70,000 dollar car seems a little sad to be having such problems.

Rather keep my 12000 dollar car and spend 10000 on it..
