Hi everyone,
From my understanding, the 1kz-te uses an electronic throttle plate/butterfly, and this also controls the EGR system.
When I first installed my boost gauge a few years ago, it would read about 1 or 2 lbs vac at idle (plumbed into the boost/vac damper).
I did extensive engine work...
Hi everyone,
So I've had my 2000 KZN185 Hilux Surf (1kz-te) which was imported from Japan many years ago since 2014 and I never had this happen until recently.
See the attached YouTube clip of a dashboard alarm going off anytime the vehicle touches 110km/h or above.
I did some major...
Hi everyone,
2000 Hilux Surf 1kz-te, automatic.
I recently completed a quite extensive rebuild of my engine (new sleeves, bearings, rings, head gasket, new head, new valve guides, new injector nozzles, changed all seals etc). At first, I was getting some really bad misfiring, but adjusting the...
Hi everyone,
I'm getting ready to install my (generic) snorkel to my 2000 Hilux Surf (1kz-te diesel engine). My airbox is on the opposite side to you gas engine guys, but the principle is the same.
I've done a lot of research into products which can be used to seal the various snorkel/airbox...
Hi everyone,
So what was supposed to be changing a head gasket and having a look around my 1kz-te (2000 Hilux Surf) has turned into a full on engine rebuild involving bearings, HG, resleeve, rings, valve seals, valve guides, water pump, machining the crank etc. etc.
I have been going OEM...
Greetings everyone! Happy new year. 2000 Hilux Surf 1KZ-TE here
Has anyone with a 1kz ever seen what appears to be coolant leaking from what I think is the head gasket but leaking outwards? (yes yes, it is green, yes I know it should be toyota genuine coolant but that stuff is hideously...
Hi everyone,
So I recently noticed the hood of my 2000 Hilux Surf rattling/shaking a bit more than normal during usual driving. I was worried that maybe the font clasp wasn't on properly, so I decided to check it out.
When I lifted the hood, the drivers side (right hand side) hinge or...
Hi all, 2000 KZN185 Hilux Surf here with the 1KZ-TE engine.
I had a problem with an occasional check engine light flashing on for a second or so, but it made no difference to driveability or performance. Doing the diagnostic port pin jumper, the check engine light would give code 12 (12 = No...
Hi everyone,
So the power steering pump in my 2000 KZN-185W Hilux Surf (1KZ-TE) is completely knackered to the point that the power steering shop says it can't be rebuilt.
I'm having a hard time tracking down the replacement part and the internet hasn't been that helpful in that regard.
My...
