No idea, we took it to a Toyota dealer to input the numbers after re-build.

Each injector is 'tuned' the ECU needs to know its settings to make it run 100%

Its not just Toyota, most motors are like this now, its the only way they can meet the latest emissions standards.

£300 a pop too, one was re-conned, other 3 needed to be new. On a 55 Reg LC.

Madness.

Cheers. I've just spent the last half hour reading up about it on the net. Also found an interesting South African forum about the almost necessary usage of different filters and water traps. The idea is that any water going through an injector nozzle at the D4D's 2000PSI will vapourise at that pressure and can even possibly pop the end of the injector nozzle off into the bore. Also minisule particles of dirt which are small enough to bypass the factory filters could congregate into bigger pieces and cause issues.

They have iffy injector seals from new, so they leak diesel into the sump and the oil gets diluted and they blow themselves to bits.

Have changed 2 complete motors this year. Toyota will cough up the £6K odd for a new short motor if you make a fuss and do your research.

If you get one change the injectors seals to the new type and they are all good.

Wasn't overly impressed with how full of crap the intakes get from the EGR, for a 5 year old engines, and they are stupidly electronic based, so much so when replacing injectors, we had to get each injectors serial number programmed into the ECU to get it run properly. Not the sort of motor you can fix in the middle of the desert.

We've got a customer with dodgy seals, at the moment. He kept wondering why his dipstick kept popping out when the engine was revved.......still hasn't had the seals done, though! Just waiting for the phone call!

See what I mean, diesels are shite!
