Reply With QuoteMy 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!

SupporterMost 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.Originally Posted by scarry
Until next time.
My little Nissan Navara smoked like a fogging machine until I blanked of the EGR.

Toyota Troopies in PNG still have the non turbo straight six, after reading this thread, maybe im lucky, not to mention the manual box.
By all means get a Defender. If you get a good one, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.

SubscriberYep - 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.Until next time.

SubscriberThis is again, caused by the appalling DPF's in them and why Toyota can't keep up with the supply of replacements currently - it must be costing them a bomb. It's not an engine issue.

Yer i saw a late model Hi lux smoking as well yesterday.A hell of a lot of smoke comes out of them.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.
No props with the vans yet,fingers crossed,i recon it probably has the same DPF.
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.

SubscriberPhil 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?

SubscriberPre 2003 3.0 was the grenade. Think the current crop is pretty good.

SubscriberYep 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.
Cheers
