The specs for 1gr fe are (Cold):
Intake 0.15 to 0.25 mm
Exhaust 0.29 to 0.39 mm
I wouldn't be to concerned, again they generally don't go out, maybe at high Klm's.
Depends on its use.
If one has made a decision to run on LPG, you might want to check them.
But I wouldn't bother till at least 160 or more likely 240k on a petrol.
I don't see too many especially with high Klm's. more diesels with high Klm's.
Ask ##########, mickl or boxhead their experiences are valued.
I think the later models eg; in the f gay, might have hydraulic, so if I was doing one, I would do some research first.
Now back on topic pleaseLast edited by Anth120playdo; 23-01-2015, 06:49 PM.

There's a mention of inspection using the "sensory method" on the service invoice but I'm betting that's automatically generated as a service item on their system, who knows if it was actually done or not.
OK, back to diesels guys!

Hi All I have had my 120 since new July 07. At 120000 kls I had the death rattle from the injectors. Toyota at the time said Its my problem not theirs so I spent $2800 to replace them.( not with Toyota but a diesel specialist.) My Q is how do you think I would go getting the money back from Toyota. The car has now done 170000 kls i.e. 50000 kls on the new ones an running well.

my Prado is the first diesel I have owned.
Thanks to this site I made the call to go diesel knowing the cost of replacement injectors and other costs.
Personally I would not go back to petrol for a $wd (Not a Typo they cost $ ) or tow vehicle.
I Normally take a long time to make up my mind on which way to go. But with the Prado for me diesel was a no brainer.
this is only my opinion.
there are a lot of people that purchase something with doing the research first.
you gota know what your up for in the long run.

They just needed to put in their claim.
You have the evidence, they should have been done at the 40k usually by Toyota dealers, so as a minimum you have a case of paying for a handbook service & it not being done. This is 100% confirmed by the wording in the customer service exercise.
Now I'm glad you got them done, because everybody needs new Injectors, not just free seats & put their head back in the sand.

It's my belief that ########## was the biggest part of getting the 1kd injector problems known.
Most others preferred to be silent or say its not that bad.
Another big Thankx to ROO. For pushing the info out early. From all on Pp.

It's all sorted. Baileys DLC injectors fitted, new fuel pipes, EGR checked and cleaned and a few other bits and bobs.
Purrs like a kitten now and runs like new.
Anthony did the job. Hassle free. Everything taken care of, great care taken with the installation, and I think a very fair price. Thanks Anthony.
I think this is a good risk management exercise for everybody with a D4-D ( or any common rail for that matter ) to consider.
