1gd-ftv Engine Failure - My Thoughts

[@biopsiesbeanieboos55]

Here’s a reply just to say “G’day Mitch, 27° is a perfect temp” Yes I do listen all the way to the end, your Dad drops gems of information all the way through his videos, sometimes even at the very end. He’s like a troll guarding a bridge. He’ll let you cross into the land of knowledge but you gotta pay the patience tax.

[@peterdunn5828]

Gday Mitch , geez your old man can chit chat.

[@4bnewb969]

2019 Prado owner here. Just received my letter from TMCA advising I’m getting a new DPF ! Funny thing is, Toyota are going to contact me to ask ‘IF’ I want the replacement- the recall you have when you don’t have recall !

[@AG-jq9jz]

Same with me however I had my 2017 1gd in at the local Toyota for a routine service 6 weeks ago, they told me there was a new bulletin out to inspect the pdf. After questioning them if they were confused about the well known dpf issue they replied no, this was something new. So as part of the routine service they opened the dpf to inspect and then phoned me, they were needing to order replacement dpf parts as per the new bulletin. I returned the car a week later when the parts had arrived, they did their thing, all under warranty. Point to note is the engine runs noticeably smoother now. Seems to be breathing easier if that make sense.

[@Mike-ry4ti]

Do it, then the warranty will be reset!

[@teddekker3383]

Just 25mins in, still listening 😂😅 g'day Mitch 👍 Ted (proud 120 1KD-FTV owner ❣)

[@murrayweedon]

Hi Anthony and Mitch love the channel. Being an ex Toyota service manaager I can tell you what your saying about Toyota dealerships and TMCA is reasonably accurate and I will leave it there. In saying that, deakerships are still business that have to be profitable and "Fixed Operations" (service and parts dept) are what makes the money for the dealership not car sales. As such parts departments dont hold stock locally unless they can sell said parts (warranty or retail) within 90 days roughly. You dont have to be a rocket scientist to realise that if the part (engines etc) is available easily that it is being sold internally (warranty) or externally (retail) regularally. To explain the behaviour of TMCA just look at how it is stuctured business wise and you see why the things that happen, happen. Just imagine that TMCA is the dealership for Australia and it is owned by different share holders including but not only by Toyota Japan. The decisions are made and filtered down to the local dealerships that are either family owned or larger company share holdings. Dealerships are bound by their individual franchise agreements to TMCA and also TMCA are beholden to the manfacturer ie Toyota Japan. As you say correctly Anthony TMCA and dealerships are not going to damage the "Toyota image" even if it is at the customers expence, (nothing new here). I remember when the first 200 series Land cruisers was coming out that the same issues came out about the 1VD-FTV particularly oil consumption, the remure back then amonst Toyota service departments was that Japan wanted to use Australia as a test guinea pig for this platform . My spidey sense tells me a similar thing is happening with the 1GD. I guess like the 1VD the 1GD will improve with time but at what cusomer expence. I would like to thank you Anthony for your no BS common sense approach to your channel, and not trying to sell us useless crap. Cheers Muz

[@davidturner3188]

G'day Mitch great weather travelling North where its warmer. Enjoy Christmas and what the new year brings.

[@ianlloyd1182]

Hi Mitch, even though Anthony seemed to say more about the 1KD than the 1GD he did mention some useful stuff as he usually does. I’ve got a 2015 Fortuner, original engine, tow a fair bit with a 2.5 tonne van. Done nearly 170,000kms, regularly serviced and oil changed at 5,000kms when doing a lot of towing, always tow in 4th and monitor trans temps. Been using a DPF cleaner regularly. Timing chain sounds ok so far. Toyota are putting in a new DPF in February to my utter surprise. You do chat on a bit but I do appreciate the info you give. Stay safe and wishing you a prosperous 2025.

[@grahametavener6792]

G’day Mitch Yep we are still listening mate! Hope you had a good Christmas and enjoyed Tassie. Cheers

[@Tek69]

Poor Mitch. Dad's talking under concrete again 😂

[@dn059]

Talk about good luck... the odds of you driving past her when her Prado broke down which is unlikely in itself are slim to none

[@darrynknight3421]

Giddy mitch Dazza from Cairns here. I hope you got a spare Oxygen tank for that trip😂. Good on ya fellows , love the show. Will be Melbourne in a week would like to drop by and say hi .

[@radioaustralia5070]

Remember everyone, regular maintenance and OME parts, you won't go wrong. Anthony if it wasn't for you and your channel, I reckon my 4x4 would be stuffed by now, thanks for all the advice and educational videos.

[@ryan8488]

G’day Mitch and Anthony, watched the whole vid. I worked at Toyota from 2010 - 2018. I’d say out of thousands of 1kd vehicles that came through we see the cracked piston issue 2 - 3 times a year. Interestingly it was mostly Hiluxes, hardly Prado’s and never on Hiaces. Also most of these didn’t appear to have good maintenance and have been probably been rattling for ages. But definitely a low percentage, definitely not enough for me to think there was an issue and I’d still have a 1KD

[@lescampbell6745]

Hey Good day Mitch, hope your enjoying the weather, great info again.

[@jimmcfee3488]

Good chat, decent input from Mitch, in Tasmania bullbars just aren't necessary, they are mainly for the 4" lift, awning, blinged up overloaded too high a center of gravity crowd with low set turbo blow off valves and comp trays that never go off road, but a low sweeper bar, side steps and sump guard are very handy. We have a LOT of small wallabies at night that can make a mess and the gravel roads are notorious for debris that can do underbody damage. I always carry a winch on a square towbar tongue, it seldom makes an appearance but my snow chains regularly come out and I have a set in all my vehicles.

[@Sam-rl9kx]

G’day Mitch, still listening! I prefer the longer talks Anthony does, it’s great to listen to when I’m driving my old 1kz

[@Nick_ess]

I’ve got a 2024 Hilux with 32 thousand km on it, has a timing chain rattle already on cold start, getting fixed under, but safe to say I’m looking a tidy 2014-15 1KD now 😂

[@liamneilson7521]

same here at 15,000km mine was replaced due to rattle, now at 45,000 and i swear its back now. Serviced booked 2nd week of jan will see what they say.

[@paulthompson1654]

Oct -2020 the FULL DPF setup was factory upgraded , mechanical / dash info / programming . Are the 1GD motor failures related to the DPF system ?? Curious .....

[@14frankro]

In Costa Rica the dealer had seen some cases of 1KDs with cracked pistons, the strange part is that some of them happened in pre 2018 Euro 3 engines (with no EGR). Just some cases, but had happened.

[@bobtheboozer15]

No bull bar for me either thanks for the info across all your vids

[@ACCOD]

Was her original motor running 0w20 oil. Would be interested to know.

[@eugenegrift3185]

I also would be interested to know

[@QueRulous-zd8rv]

Hey Anthony, you're talking about a company that imo lied to 260,000 owners about dpf problems and copped a massive fine for doing it. So why fess up to engine problems? Watch Mr Bates vs the Post Office. Yeah, Mr Bates was the only postmaster with a problem with Horizon software, until he lifted the covers.

[@RobertBruce-kf5ze]

I listen to the end. Thanks again 👍🏼

[@bastiaansnijder5317]

I have a 2006 Fortuner with 1 KD and 4 speed auto (personal import) Euro2 version without EGR cooler. Now with 210.000 km. Tow a caravan in 3rd gear. Change oil every 5000 km or less. To date zero problems. Injectors not changed yet but being planned. Car looks like new and is clearly bullet proof.

[@jamesm6341]

I know of two 1KD 150s in Sydney with cracked pistons Q4 2024. Both had single pistons replaced by backyard mechanics for under $3k and were back on the road. With 1KD used Prado , you never know what you’re getting.

[@adamads7004]

G'day Mitch!

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Would most of the Toyota dealerships be able to diagnose a cracked windscreen??

[@GYP-ms7ko]

Gee bud just get to the point without all the rubbish….waffle is right. I don’t think Toyota is going to want a sit down if you approach the conversation like this one 😅

[@kunjalkaran95series]

Toyota hilux needs new engine from Hino Motors. Those big Hino 6 cylinder truck engines downgraded to 4 clinder for Toyota. Because Hino truck and bus engines are very powerful and also those engine have good engine exhaust brake sound so it means that their head are very strong.

[@jamesplatt9323]

Gday Mitch, hope your enjoying the day mate.

[@AD-dx7lr]

G'day Mitch! Yes I was still listening. New owner of a 2022 GXL. am hoping we will have trouble free travel 🤞🏻🤞🏻 We tow a 2 T van and always tow in S and keep it serviced every 6 months.still scares me a bit listening to stories of engine failures, turbo temps, DPF issues. But is there a car out there that doesn't have issues??? Keen to know

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

How many of the VDJ 200 V 8 1 VD - FTV. Diesel’s have failed due to center left out Engine oil filter I personally know of about 4 Good Engine but Eng oil filter one to watch

[@mitchell5064]

Not the engines fault. Engineer (designer) and lack of knowledge is all that causes it.

[@matbailey8]

Just had my 2024 hilux SR toped up at the dealer with 0w.20 oil. I had a petrol work mate with the 2.7 petrol run 0W.20 2021 did 130.000km with no problems.

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

You should also tell drivers not to push the car to the limits slow donn a bit also helps

[@Mike-ry4ti]

Does anyone know if there is a way to update the transmission software for a pre remapped 1GD without altering the engine map? My 2018 is bone stock, happy with the power output ( I dont tow) but really want to sort out the transmission...cheers

[@edvardfaleide5207]

What would you say is the best engine: 1GD, 1KD or 1KZ? Personally, I´ve driven 1KZ and 1KD for the last 25 years. Both totally without any issues - but they have been looked after and maintained. The 1KZ-FT with 125 HP was a wonderful and very reliable engine. Nice sound and a turbo that provided lots of torque by low revs. For the time beeing I drive a 2011 Prado 60th Anniversary with the 3,0 L 1KD, 190 HP and only 180 000 km. It is even as good as the 1KZ and a bit more powerful, but thirsty. However, there is absolutely no need for an upgrade to the 2,8 L 1GD. I´ve driven a Prado with the first editition of the 2,8 L with 177 HP. Compared to my own 3,0 L, it was slow, lazy and lacked power. I reckon, the later version is better. But which one of these three Prado engines is the best, in terms of reliability, maintainance/repair costs and power?

[@harrywalker968]

2000. s/duty. 4.2tdi. no computer, no crap.. 240hp. 700nm.. tows 4.5t up hill in 5th. owned 8 yrs, nothing..14 lt 100 with 35'' wheels. 145 lt tank. i fitted a tdo6 turbo, std is tdo4.. & a snorkel..cost to buy. 25k.. done 290ks.. keep your toyotas.. also owned, just sold, a ford bronco 351c.. for 24 yrs, never stopped.. work, thrashed, 4x4rd.. & dont go on about the environment.. with all the pollution crap new cars have, break downs, cost.. i think ima winner.. & you cant even use top gear towing.. sad...

[@Jaysim6627]

1gd-ftv or 4jj3 engine if you had to pick one?

[@aussiebananasfnq2414]

4jj3 truck enjine 100 percent

[@izmanrx7186]

4jj3 over 1gd or 1kd

[@skoda110]

Hi. I got prado 2003 1kdftv with 4 gear at goes well with caravan. Never overheated. Pajero IV 3.2d used a lot on towing - was much better. Never had to drop gear for tow. Only when rolling downhills

[@theartofselfanalysis7600]

Auto transmissions of any sort should not be used when oil temperatures are 117 degrees celcius plus. Even when so called synthetic oils are used as oil film strength is starting to break down before this. The factory trans. oil coolers are not efficient enough when towing heavy loads in this country. There are only two vehicles DESIGNED for towing , a prime mover and a tractor.

[@markorlando4817]

G’day Mitch

[@DavidHeike-b8i]

Hey Mitch hold your horses

[@tommimetsapuro5382]

I wouldnt get 1GD even in to my grass cutter. Those engines have piston rods made from chinese scrap metal. Toyota land cruiser should have never gone in to 4 piston world. Previously it was inline six then V8. Thats when land cruisers built its reputation around the world and now barely hanging, getting recalls and if stars align correctly 100k km maybe possible.

[@jimmybeanthere3143]

Watched it all Mich!

[@paulthompson1654]

Are the timing chains failures re occurring. even after the so called up grades .Several times the chains and gears were design changed . Did Toyota actually fix this issue .... Other industries with wet chains claim contaminated oil wears link pins/plates when engine fitted with DPF .

[@motozz8258]

Who uses a dealership after warranty , the pistons are flawed. Toyota have removed the reinforced section of the pistons , Reality so they crack its a flaw in the first place needing the insert now they don't provide the insert on the oem piston . True dont be a fanboy and check it out . Not sure which model but new in my view

[@justindaniel5959]

I replaced my leaky water pump on 86000km 2kd engine 2.5 D4D vnt 106kw 343nm.

[@davidpearn4344]

Shut the EGR off and get rid of the dpf and you wont have any troubles

[@ifyoucantjointhem]

"one female" is a bit presumptuous 🙄😆

[@14frankro]

As far as I know, all the remapped 1GDs were installed in 2021 models and onwards (Hilux, Fortuner, Prado), manufactured from mid 2020. In this case, I presume that wouldn't be a remapped version.
