Resonating noise

[Indy Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Indy]

G'day all.

Bit of a general question. I have only had my Prado (2003 3.0TD) for about 3 months now. One thing I have noticed is a fairly loud resonating noise under acceleration. It is a bit like the vehicle has a V8 type of 'note' that quietens down once top cog is reached. The noise seems louder on the right hand side of the vehicle. I suspected a muffler at one stage but on idle the noise is not there.

I just wanted to make sure this is normal for the older 3.0TD's?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Indy,

I have the same vehicle and can't say I can relate to a ''loud resonating noise under acceleration'' - As an ex demo TJM truck, is the exhaust system standard?

Thanks for the reply Rob.

I am not too sure about the exhaust being standard. No mention was made of an upgraded exhaust system when I purchased the vehicle and the previous owner was a sales manager for TJM who had it since new.

It does sound like an exhaust issue. I guess I will book it in to have it looked at.

did you find out where the noise is coming from? Could it be the TJM snorkel?

rotation resonace noise as well very hard to explain
