Toyota HiLux MK6 (1998-2004) Questions & Answers (page 3 of 4)

Only a few bolts, I have 2001 early model, 2003/4 tub

check the viscous fan, I had one doing the same and it turned out the fan hub was u/s/ Hutch.

have the same problem but heats up after about 10-20 min of driving

The 2004 2.7 litre 3rz-fe petrol engine has a drive chain to the camshaft, the camshafts are connected by gears

We use diesel cars at my workplace and the diesel fuel needs a glow plug to heat the fuel when the temperature is cold (e.g in the mornings), It could possibly be the glow plug which is faulty, but it could be something else, please don't take my advice literally because I am not a qualified mechanic.

Turn your ignition on then off then on then off, waiting till glow plug light goes off each time then pump pedal once or twice then start car . This works for me maybe it'll help you too . Sounds like your glow plugs require replacing . Glenn

Best ute around, the 2003 model were the last to be built in Japan not Thailand with very brittle cheap iron, that said, there are some thing to tweak them, if around town no need at all. The cars we fall in love with give us no trouble and so far no trouble, have 2003 sr5 v6 manual petrol, while thirstly, I prefer the grunt. Had a look n feel at the new hilux mmm tinny, thin oversized, interior a few mod cons, yet found 3 annoying faults n hard to reach places and certainly no where near of cockpit feel seats as the hilux, that said, I'm putting a holden v8 in mine and it is a keeper. The other issues some say, hum, rubbish, all cars have faults if you thrash them n try to unleash the automated destructive man gene on them ... Cannot fault them, far superior build to todays throw away cars, will last forever, besides I like the smaller size and classic look, the best looker in my view, just like the spitfire, old but gold.

Possibly the catalytic converter or the starter motor / as there are so many parts on vehicles these days it might be better to take the vehicle to a Toyota Australia workshop or a mechanical repairs and servicing workshop or if the problem might be with the electrics you could try a auto electrician shop such as ultratune or kmart tyres and auto

Whether it's automatic or manual gearbox / I suggest you take the utility vehicle to a Toyota Australia workshop or a quality trustworthy honest and reliable transmission specialist to get the problem fixed

It could be the onboard computer processing unit if it's a automatic gearbox

If it the onboard computer I suggest you take the utility vehicle to a auto electrician

1800 kg with brakes, 750 kg without

Belt, 100,000 kms from memory. Dont forget to replace the idler as well.

Its best not to put a turbo in a engine that wasn't designed for turbo / perhaps you could try fitting a supercharger to get more power instead / fitting aligning and balancing new quality tyres and wheels helps as well

If you really interested in putting a turbo on it I suppose you could

Try contacting Toyota Australia headquarters to ask them if you like or try their online website if you like

Okay. "Right under the steering wheel in the engine." Is the crack in the chassis, the engine or in the steering column? None of these items should crack unless put under an enormous amount of force. Has the vehicle been in an accident?

Have a new chassis put in by a quality trustworthy honest and reliable mechanical shop or a Toyota Australia workshop or you could ditch the vehicle together as a cracked chassis seems very dangerous @ to be honest probably better off ditching it and buying a newer vehicle

You could replace the chassis if you like as it would be cheaper than buying a newer car / I would not bother welding / no.way it would be anywhere near as strong as a new one or even another vehicle like it that has had a different problem such as blown motor and the chassis is in.good condition

It all depends on what type of manifold you want for your Hilux. Whether you have a 3RZ or a 3L, you will be able to source a brand new factory one from any Toyota dealership, otherwise any wrecker will sell you a second hand one. I'm sure there are dozens of aftermarket options out there that any muffler or exhaust centre can help you with.

You could try Holden spare parts or you could try replacing the whole exhaust system at a quality trustworthy honest and reliable exhaust specialist shop

Not sure though you could try other online forums as well on the internet

In short, yes it will. Between 2000 and 2004 Australian hiluxes used the 3L diesel, which was the same when turbocharged. It won't be as straight forward as simply bolting the engine to your transmission, but as far as just matching the two together you shouldn't have any problem.

I dont think there is much to do .you need the wiring for the turbo engine not your old stuff. I have a 3l turbo engine 2004 140000km for $3500 if you need one 0429623490

I currently own the 2002 2.7 petrol, and bought it with just under 150,000kms on the clock. Just had the 160,000kms service after only doing just oil changes for the last 14 months. Service came back flawless, no issues what-so-ever, so don't worry about the kilometres.

Fuel tanks size is 69 litres, to which I get around 500km to a tank normally driving around town. I think that works out to be about 12-14L/100kms. You have to realise that the 2.7 petrol is the largest 4 cylinder petrol available in any model car, is built to be able to carry a workload and towing specifically. It has more than enough power to do this. The later model hiluxs in the 2.7 petrol get better and better on fuel. My 2004 got 550-600km to the same size tank, due to improved fuel mapping and VVT-i. Higher octane fuel 95 and 98 If your concerned about fuel economy there are workmate hilux's available in the 2.0 litre 1RZ engine, which might not be twin cam but still have more that enough power and are better on fuel.

I would avoid the automatic transmission, and opt for the 5 speed manual. 99/100 hiluxes are manual, so servicing and parts are a dream. I've never owned one the automatics, but from circles I've heard they are not the trouble free option. Good luck!

92hp (or 71kw) and 2000nm of torque.

Have you checked your oil? If your oil is low, then an internal component may be draining dry. Otherwise check your pulleys at the front of the engine, and that your main belt is tight and not slipping. Anything other than that, and you may have to get a mechanic look at it. The precise location of the noise would be a real hint towards the problem.

You could also try taking the vehicle to a Toyota Australia workshop

I'm guessing it's a 4x4 hilux (I don't believe the turbo-diesels came out in 2x4). Your problem sounds like a front end problem, and to do with your suspension, rather than the steering or the clutch. I would look at replacing all your front end bushes, especially in your sway bar. An easy job and not as expensive as you think. Why you're feeling it through the clutch I don't know, as you should be feeling it through the whole car. I can't imagine it's engine or transmission mounts, as you'd feel them constantly. My only other suggestion is something to do with your ball joints, which isn't an easy fix. Last but not least, do you have freewheeling hubs? Check the car is not in 4x4 and that someone hasn't locked your hubs in without you knowing it. Good luck.

69 litres. On petrol 4 cylinder 2x4 models, you can expect 500-550kms from a tank.
