Re: D4D Death rattle
:lol: :lol: :lol: Okay I am not a diesel mech but how does this check for bio-diesel? Does it smell like fish & chips when ignited. :lol: And more importantly is the Toyota mech qualified to make this judgement? If they were going to try and duck shove the problem back to you by saying that you have been using bio-diesel then surely they would need to send the sample out for proper analysis to have a legal leg to stand on.
From my own personal experience with the rattle and what it means, I was told that not all dealerships have the equipment to carry out the testing required by Toyota Corporate. Similarly not all dealerships have the expertise to do the swap out of the injectors.
Toyota Corporate do recognise that there is a problem but I guess they are loathed to announce it publically for obvious bad publicity reasons. However they are having the dealerships treat each case separately and Toyota Corporate have a specific testing routine that must be adhered to and all results are then sent back to Toyota Corporate body. Then TC make the decision based on the results whether or not to authorise the injectors to be replaced. TC does this in a two step exercise, they authorise the dealership to replace the injectors and they have to authorise Denso to supply the injectors to the dealership.
The problem is that Denso have times when there is no stock available of the injectors due to the high demand for them caused by this problem. This is why I am now in my 3rd week of waiting for Denso to supply the dealership in Adelaide who are waiting for them and have been ringing Denso regularly to check when they are going to be sent. As of last Friday Denso still have not been able to send them.
