    Warm Up Time D4D

    G'day folks,
    I have searched the forum but have not found the answer I am after.
    My Prado is the slowest vehicle I have ever had to reach operating temperature except for one many years ago that had a stuck thermostat which was replaced very quickly.
    At idle it seems that it will never get there.
    Driving I would have to travel at least 5 kms before the needle reaches its normal position.
    What is the experience of the forum?
    Cheers
    Chris

    About 4 to 5 km for me is normal to reach temperature and that doesn't seem to change even if its minus 5 or plus 10 degrees when I start up.

    My old HQ Statesman took about the same, so did my last car, Holden Frontera.

    Regards

      Hi Ads,
      Isn't it great, my Pootrol was cooking before the first corner, my D4D takes about the same as yours, 4-5kms.

          You'll find it's the gauge.... it's crap and is on a lot of Toyotas. Fit a VDO or a like.

          The VDO shows a 20 degree rise before the Toyota one even moves.

          There is a blank in the thermostat housing that can be drilled and taped for the sender unit.

            Hi MickL,
            I use the Scangauge II for all engine monitoring, never look at the temp gauge any more, I do agree with you though the analogue temp gauge is an indicator only and does not have a graduated accurate scale.

              Mine too is about 4 -5 kms to warm up, normal operating temp seems to be about 86 degrees, had it sitting on 90 degrees the other day pushing into a headwind towing the camper at 118kph, 43 degrees outside. Also using fuel at 15.6l/100km once the wind dropped off sat around 87 degrees and 12.3l/100km still at 118kph.
