I would be interested to here this also, just reading your signature and it would appear our prados are pretty similar!

Not really, diesel intake manifolds dont tend to get terribly dirty, as they dont have a throttle body as suchComment

Wrong on both counts mate...Originally posted by Octane94 View Post
The mix of egr soot and blow by oil in the intake restrict the intake severely. I haven't quantified the benefit of cleaning but mine was approaching a 50% reduction in diameter before I cleaned it.

mate a diesels intake is only air, unlike petrol which injector sprays into inlet manifold with the air, diesel has 100% air and throttle is controlled by injectors.Originally posted by adrian5800 View Post
so explain to me how an intake will get dirty if you replace air filter regularly?Comment

And modern diesels (if you can call the 1KZ a modern diesel) have a throttle plate.Originally posted by Octane94 View Post

Getting back to the original question, after my intake manifold was cleaned, injectors replaced, no decrease in fuel used. I keep very accurate recorders for diesel used and distance travelled. Although this is for the common rail I would imagine the earlier motors would be similar. Unless the manifold had enough gunk to start to block the ports in the head.08 VX D4D, Lift, Safari Snorkle, Trailblazer Fridge, Custom Storeage System, BFG, ARB Safari Bar, Wife, Kids, Codan NGT HF Radio, Debt.
