Thread: Hilux, unbreakable ?? hahahahahahaha...

****loads better

All makes have issues, Toyota seems to be able to keep it all quiet and fool the buying public into a false sense that they are buying a 'indestructable' 4WD.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Just been advised that a second of our company 2005 turbo diesel Hiluxes has blown an engine. This is the second one in two weeks. The first had 13,000kms on it and this one has done 16,000 kms. Still waiting on the verdict and will advise outcome.[/b][/quote]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>The 10/05 3.0td lux at my second job has just spat the motor recently.
Apparently there was no warning during driving, just boooooosht and lots of white smoke comming from exhaust. Toyota has described the event as "a catastrophic failure of piston skirt area leading to significant and non reparable cylinder damage". It has done 17,700 and was serviced every 5k by Toyota as per lease arrangements. A replacemnt motor is on its way under warranty, but has been off the road now for 11 business days.

The 3l td Navara is slightly less comfy 3 months older has 8k more on the engine but is going. Triton is similar to Navara, and the MBZ Vito (we call it the bang bus from one guys NYE adventures) has just hit 900,800 in 5 years - serviced every 20,000 kms, its a 2l CRDi turbo motor. No oil change in between standard service intervals.[/b][/quote]
