Hi Matey What milage on the clock ? I ve had similar issue recently but with petrol engine and no any alerts have been shown on the scanner screen. Finally the fuel pump has burnt out (along with fuse) and I was forced to change both filter and pump. MrT could not make an access cover under rear seats to change it (!!!!!!!!!!!!) and it is necessary to lover fuel tank. regards \ Igor

Hello there I look for new steering rack for 3rd gen rav (LH drive with \ electrical ) Any advises either original or alternative would be ok ? Any links ? Thanks

hi Jason the main possible reasons are: - injectors are worn down; - engine \ turbo suction filter is clogged; - variable vanes (turbo) are not smoothly rotated relating to current engine load (+ impulse tube with vacuum actuator); - late injection timing; - possible airr suction thru primer buster pump \ fuel filter; - possible electrical errors belong to injection circuit; - EGR clogging; Grey colour is overfueling during combustion stroke. Blue colour - oil burning issue (valve seals \ piston rings) All above is from my personal experience Cheers \ Igor

MAF sensor and GAS regulator ?????

hi matey you can check with RAVs stripping shops where you can get them with the cheappest price/ it is not a problem for such parts cheers \ Igor

it seems SCV plays with you. have SCV coil resistance checked by multimeter and compare with service manual. this is common issue when hot start is head ache

+ 1 petrol + regular maintenance

has it pink colour ? when engine is cold - open expnsion tank lid and observe whether an oil filf is available. besides - please check if drop is hang under cooling pump or traces are available close to the pump. also check vissible leaks thru cooling pipes \ clips \ radiator

also check if variable vanes are rotated smoothly by finger (turbocharger) Igor

i use 5w40 by Toyota since 2010 as live in the south and hot summer. i get service once a year or 15000 km as stated in my manual (all 12 years regular official service) 190k on the clock. during last service i ve changed valves cover gasket (minor leaks due to age) and disclosed my cyl head is clean without carbon deposits. cheers \ Igor

check with starter solenoid wire contact + be sure solenoid stem slides smoothly

i used to change only rubber blades as originals by Toyota and they serve at least 2 years
