ginnnts 0 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Something like this? I have the same problem! Toyota addressed it as fuel filter head's fault, but toyota dealer replaced filter head and filter and after a month of silence, i had that sound back again! I took car to toyota again and they again changed fuel filter head - this time for free, because last one might of been defective, and now, after about two months or less i have the same sound!So i decided not to worry and live with it, because car runs fine!

vitalke 0 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 so dudes, is this sound not a reason of something bad and it is not harming the engine or something?, and i also have to reconciled with this sound for ever? :) maybe someone solved this problem in other way? i have heard that it can be some turbo pressure gauge fault or something like that?

anchorman 277 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 No its just high pressure fuel forcing its way past valves in the filter head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
igormus 19 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 it looks like fuel by-passing noise Quote Link to post Share on other sites
