  • Worried Hilux Surf owner HELP!

    Hi there, i have been turning grey worrying about this problem that occured about 3 months ago.
    the reason i have been turning grey with worry is that i have been told it could be a part on my turbo that would cost me 150 quid to repair(that's if it can be repaired) and over 600 quid if it has shot it!

    Now i have a Hilux Surf SSRX Limited 3.0TD 1994(M) plate, i have had this 4x4 for 1 and a half years, and it has done low milage, i had it serviced last year and booked it in for another one in a couple of weeks.
    This veichle is the best veichle i have ever had it is my pride and joy sounds and runs beautifully.

    Now enough of the sentimental stuff!.....when i accelerate slowly and release the pedal completely it makes this scufing noise,or if i accelerate quickly at a low speed and release pedal the noise is slightly louder, it is not a grinding noise, it sounds like blowing air hitting something or a dog barking in the distance!.....(tighten your lip to make a o shape so your mouth looks like this "O" and blow quickly in short puffs through your bottom teeth.) there you have thats the noise....

    Sorry for the weird stuff above but its the only way i can describe it, it's not realy loud, and is coming from the front and is realy worrying me as i don't have much money.

    Can some one help

    Oh forgot to say this noise dont happen if i accelertate and release the pedal going past 30mph, allso noticed that it don't do it alot when its cold.

    Thanks again Regards Striker

    Welcome to the forum. You've come to the right place for help.

    You don't say if this is a new noise or not. It could just be the turbo releasing some over pressure, but I can't say I've ever noticed my 3.0 doing that. You might try having a word with Stevo , he's an engine guy in Stockport. I can't find his number right now though, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly with it.

      Thanks Slugsie

      Yes it sounds like a gust of air blowing through something..i just hope thats all it is!..i suspected that but just get paranoid as i have heard things about Hilux Surfs.......i mean thats why i researched about them for 2 years before i bought mine and i realy think i got a good one, especially with 100,000KM on it!..well it had 67000KM on it when i bought it.

      Yes it is a new noise that accured 2 months ago roughly, when it first happend i had 2 people in the back and thought stupidly as i am, it was the mud flaps catching on the weel base as i go over a bump!!.....like i say it's a truck with a high weel base..so i felt rather stupid....as its not that lol
