Mine was also done today. Has quietend the rattle down quite a lot. I'm still not sure if it's 100% but it's a hell of a lot better.

reflash
Mine was done today also
I am away this week for work but I am sure the boss at home will tell me if it is fixed at 0630h in the morning on Tuesday when she fires it up.
They have only done a reflash and want me to drive it for 1000km and bring it back to confirm its condition.
I will keep you all postedBabs

Toyota got the new injectors in late last week and I let them have the car yesterday. They replaced injectors 1 and 4 which is odd because on the first time around they replaced #4.
Like Crammy says, it's better but I don't think that it's 100%. There's still a rattle at light to moderate throttle and I think it is about the same as when I got it back after the first injector change. The thing that worries me is it got worse after the first injector change and it was worse than before i took it in for the first time.
I'm wondering if we are getting real fixes with these injector replacements. I can appreciate that new ECU software can go some way to improving the situation but if there is a fundamental flaw with the injectors then it is going to take a while for Toyota to diagnose it, come up with a solution, re-tool the production line for the new injectors. It won't be a fast chain of events.

Just to let other know - my mate with the really rattly Prado at 40,000kms had all injectors replaced and problem solved so far. He didnt mention a computer reflash so I will ask. Mine is awaiting a check on return from the Flinders Ranges.2007 Prado VX D4D, With a lot less options lately!Comment

Does anyone know if these replacement injectors are different in design to the originals?
The self clean programming sounds interesting. Does it use more fuel during "self cleaning"?Comment

Mine was replaced with the same model injector but they did do the ECU flash.Originally posted by lawranceRoll on the 2010 Pradopoint GTG

Just got off the phone with the dealer and they first tried to tell me its all normal, i obviously wasnt happy with that answer and he said that there is a fix coming with different injecters and ecu reflash but nothing has come through yet because the new injecters are in demand for the new Prados coming off the line..................maybe hope or alot of B.S.?[img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e39/intens/4by.gif[/img]

Re: diesel rattle in D4D Prado
Hi everyone,
The wife got the reflash done last monday while I was away and was told to put approx 1000km on it to burn off all the carbon.
So far only about 150km but a little bit quieter in the cold start department.
The rattle has quiten down in the upper rev range also.
I will keep you posted.Babs

Re: diesel rattle in D4D Prado
Mate if you have D4D engines which I assume you do then it will need to have an injector or two replaced. Just ask your dealer to run the injector testing routine as laid out by Toyota Corporate, they will then have to submit the results to them and then T.C. will pass judgement on whether they will authorise the replacement of the injectors.Originally posted by Tassie HiluxRoll on the 2010 Pradopoint GTG
