An intake problem with the turbo-diesel engine in the top-selling Toyota HiLux ute — which was identified during a motoring.com.au comparison test, triggers ‘limp-home’ mode and turns off safety features including stability control — will be the subject of an urgent redesign in Japan.
Toyota’s reputation for reliability and suitability to Australian roads is being called into question following successive 4X4 Australia tests that uncovered a fault with the air intake system of the Hilux, Fortuner and Prado.

A very loud whistling sound while boosting, similar to a police or ambulance siren.

Couple of points:

- how to fix it
- any aftermarket airbox solutions? (quick search reveals this one: https://www.jmaxengineering.com.au/prod ... sh-options , are there any others around?
