When I say regen I'm talking about the soft regen that occurs without any warning lights and you can tell its happening due to smell of exhaust, fuel consumption increase, slight engine noise change and most noticeably the slight increase in rev's to 900rpm (auto).
So I contacted the dealer to discuss and was shot down. Tech told me they were done with my car as it's operating normally. The 5th injector apparently operates continuously and they have bascially wiped their hands of me. For now. When I return I'll be seeking an appointment with the Service Manager.
I told the tech the idle up happens about every 300-400km's which is normal but should only last about 10-20 min given my highway driving. I was told I was wrong and that it happens all the time. When I asked why Toyota would make a car that is a 4 cylinder diesel but have 5 injectors running constantly I was just told that's how it is. Needless to say I think the tech is wrong but he did quote some system that he called it so I'll get more info from them in the coming days. Not liking the fob off
Hi blackey34457 Whoever told you that about the fifth injector firing all the time is definitely smoking something & NOT from planet earth.
I & many others here will tell you that IT DEFINATELY DOES NOT FIRE ALL THE TIME UNLESS IT IS FAULTY, how do I know this? because I have an indicator LED (I have done an in depth post on how to install one do a search & you will find it ) that tells me when it is firing it is completely under control of the ECU it is also not even a steady injection but is pulsed injection & can be sped up or slowed down by the ECU it also has its own fuel supply from the pump & also water cooling to it. It also has got nothing whatsoever to do with the four common rail injectors.
