Most EGR systems cause smokey engines after a while regardless of Make, That's why it is so popular to delete or blank off the EGR systems.Quote:

My 2016 work Prado has had a new DPF under warranty recall, has the software upgrade twice, and has had the DPF “burn out” three times in 126k
Still smokes (blue) on occasions on acceleration
Glad a don’t have to pay for it!
Toyota Troopies in PNG still have the non turbo straight six, after reading this thread, maybe im lucky, not to mention the manual box.[thumbsupbig]
Yep - they still have to replace it - but some time in September by the sounds of it - no idea how long I've got before I start literally smoking cars off the road again. [biggrin]Quote:

Last week a 3L Patrol shot past me bellowing smoke,way above the speed limit.
Sure enough about 5 k's further on its parked.[biggrin]
Patrol=grenade
Phil I think you are talking about a particular small capacity diesel motor in the GU. I have not heard of any issues with the newer V8 petrol in the current shape nor any issues with the other diesels in the GU range...have you?Quote:

Yep my brother had the 2.8 slow but reliable . Blew a head gasket but kept running for quite a while. The 3.0 was considered a grenade. The 4.2 was a Legendry motor.Quote:
