I have a 5 speed auto diesel 4.2 Amazon 100 series
I took it for a service
I watched him change oil, air filter etc
He unscrewed diff screw and a tiny drop of oil came out of each, he said he was just checking colour of it and it was ok, he also grease gunned the prop and other places...
Hi Paddo, Sorry for the delay in replying,
I had a couple of hours spare today so had another look while pulling the TEMPERATURE SENSOR plug
I struggled initially as the OFF light kept flashing when i pulled the 2 wire plug closest to firewall
as my car is right hand drive, and the temp sensor...
I noticed earlier, and it was a cold start
After running car for a while on driveway it was no way near as bad, so could be a cold start thing
Idle is a little rough, but the whole car was vibrating around 1500rpm when cold
The wife was complaining the car was running rough
It does sound its usual loud self, but when standing still, and revving to around 1500-1600rpm the whole car and steering wheel started shaking
any ideas where to start looking first?
Ok I got the fuel gauge fixed, and it turns out the OFF on the dash was as simple as holding the button for a few seconds
I've attached the latest reading from tech stream (not sure how to disconnect the temp sensor)
I also dropped the car to low, waited a min, and then hit the up button
the N...
thanks all
I just tried now again with PADO feedback but when i start the car the OFF light is on constantly, and its in N
PADO, I did not have the DIFF locked, but when i started the car after, the DIFF light was on for 1 second, which i did think was strange!
Perhaps I have an electronic...
Thanks guys
Is there a test to see if the sensors are failing?
I do occasionally see the car leveling itself, but not often
I'm not sure what to check next, I guess I need to read the values on techstream before going any further?
Ok, heres the update
I cleared the fault codes
As we didn't know which way to turn the torsion bar nut, we tried 3 turns one way, which dropped pressure on front from
4.9
to
2.7
I then put reset the the nut to the beginning and went 3 turns the other way and it went to
7.9
So using this...
Sorry for the delay, I have been oversea
So here are the results after going from hi, to low, to Neutral and letting it sit for a few mins with engine running
I also noticed there were some error, also attached
do the neutral pressures look wrong?
What do I need to do to fix?
Hey all
Please see the attached image
Its a new centre cap for my 18inch 100 series wheels
I need to send them in for a respray, but the place is asking for paint code
Any ideas what code the attached is?
Its not silver, it's more of a darker grey... this was a genuine toyota part, and how it came
Hey all
I have a yr2005 100 series amazon
The one with built in AC controls on touch screen
the bit around the gear stick is all scratched, and i want to get it resprayed to look new again.
Does anyone know the paint code for this SILVER trim...
Hey all
My year 2005 amazon (UK 100 series) 4.2 TDI sounds louder than my friends
Its more gravelly (hard to explain)
I've been searching around, and my local mech thinks it could be the injectors
Something about 2 stage springs at different PSI out of calibration
New injectors (6 of them)...
Hey Guys
I used to own a year 2000 100 series which had shocks and springs
When I braked hard, the car would squat.
I've upgraded to a year 2005 with AHC, and when i brake hard the car nose dives.
When i Accelerate hard, the front end lifts quite a lot and steering is VERY light
I initially...
