Hi guys,
I just had a bad experience and I hope someone can help me with this. I just took the car to a shop to adjust/repair the fuel pump for my HDJ80 (1HD-T) and had a very bad experience...
I´ll start since the beginning, 1 year ago the car was burning eyes, too much diesel was being burn so I took the injectors by myself to a recognized shop here in Costa Rica, and they did a very good job, the problem stopped.
Now, the car started to throw some black smoke when accelerating and I though that it was the fuel pump, so I took the car to a shop (different shop) and well, that was 4 days ago, and today when I picked up the car, the mechanic started to say that something was wrong with the valves or seals, something was happening on the head of the engine according to him.
I know that the valve seals are not very in good shape and it is smoking some thru the head cover, but not much.
Then he started talking that he was not able to repair the car due to the problem on the head of the engine... I ended up paying him like 80% of what he asked because I signed some **** agreement.
Now the car car sounds like sh!t when the engine is on and it smokes like hell! A a grey cloud coming out from the exhaust pipe.
Any idea what have gone wrong? Might be the timing?
Now I am planning to take the car to the first SHOP, it is very expensive, but yes I learned my lesson.
Could be something simple as timing? Or you guys thing that might cost me some $$$$?
