My 2015 vx 3ltr prado keeps loosing power and going into limp mode

We had the same issue. Mechanic blamed the battery. I wasn't convinced. Turned out that the alternator was stuffed. As it was not charging the battery properly, the battery voltage would drop. Some electronic components are more voltage sensitive than others, which meant that some components would work while others stopped. As the voltage dropped further, more things stopped working.

Hi my question is. My sister in-law owns a Toyota prado 2009 I think and she has come up with problem stating that when she is driving it will suddenly brake and pull to the left and tell her she is driving erratically. Is this something that can happen?

Our car was having issues starting, so we replaced the battery last week and all was good until this morning. It started fine but when I went to accelerate away from the kerb the engine just stopped. I put it back into park and tried again which again was an easy start and I reversed back along the front of my house..then I put her back into drive and she accelerated like there was no problem. It’s a push button start and hadn’t been started since Sunday. I know my husband pushed the start button twice that day to let me wind a window up when he’d already turned the engine off. Like going to the accessories..maybe he didn’t ‘turn it off’ properly and the battery was a touch depleted. Help!!

My muffler makes a whining noise when the air conditioner is on.how can I fix this ?
1 answer
I know this may sound wierd, but check it is not the numberplate vibrating and causing the noise. Has this with our 150. If that is ok, check elsewhere underneath the vehicle. I assume it does it with the a/c on as the engine is under a greater load than when idling with a/c and vibrates.

Purchased this vehicle for caravaning. Went from Coff's Harbour to Glenn Inness and got about 15litres/per 100 kilometres. Which we thought was great. We inadvertently left the caravan plugged in and it completely drained the battery. Since then the economy has been horrible, about 28l/100kls at reduced speed ie 80 kph.
Did the flat battery effect on board computers to drastically reduce fuel economy or is there another issue?

The picture of the screen comes on with the little white line on the bottom showing trying to load something but it goes blank after a few seconds and then it will repeat the picture again a few seconds later then go blank again. No radio or display or anything. Can you please advise me of what to do? Thank you, much appreciated.

Hi
Asking for a friend if anyone can help. He owns a 2012 prado diesel.
He seems to feel like the engine or turbo is a problem. He feels the engine is sluggish at about 2200rpm under and not under load. Is there any common faults or something I can check. Air / fuel filters are fine. Any other ideas ?
Cheers

Would you recommend installing a 3” exhaust on my 2016 2.8L Prado? Am told it will be better under foot and improve fuel performance.
