New to the forum and I’ve, sadly, come with questions and problems.

To start off, a good mate has bought a lovely LN165 2L-T Hilux.
It was great for the first 20 mins, and it’s all of a sudden lost a lot of power.

He has had many people look at it, doesn’t really know it’s history, and they have all led him down the wrong path. Between new turbos, new fuel tank and new turbo sensors it’s still not fixed it.

In an attempt to get it right, I’ve taken it onboard to try and suss it out. So far we have found a broken LDA diaphragm which we have temporarily repaired while waiting for a new one to arrive, but this also didn’t fix it.

I want to try and see if anyone has any known problems or experiences, aswell as guides or manuals for said LN165 2L-T.

I’m in the process of checking the timing, then will move onto injectors and compression. But is there anything anyone on here has experienced themselves?

Any help appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
