Down Warrnambool mate. They all should have it just need to persist and get angry.

Thanks for that. Do you have a bulletin number or any reference details incase the dealer denies the existence of the update ??

I can confirm that Toyota have released the firmware to the dealers to be installed.

Toyota Bulletin TNF 67/16 released 4/10/16

TNF:67/16 Got released on the 4th/10 i believe.

Cheers thanks a lot

Hi Guys
If you are still having issues when cold with slurring into gears and clunking when the auto downshifts there is an update which Toyota have done with my 2016 SR5, no problems now smooth as silk almost.

Cheers mate.

Had mine completed today and while I only drove it from the dealership to work (30mins Syd traffic) it didn't have any rough downshifts or flaring. I'll drive it for a few days and provide further feedback but as of right now I am hoping I am done. (Full tailshaft replaced with new part no. previously).

Got mine updated yesterday. It does drive better but still doesnt shift to 6th gear when cruising around the 100 to 110km mark which is disapointing ... Also noticed that setting the cruise control is alot more responsive than before as it used to kick in after a 4 or 5 seconds. Def worth going to your dealer for the update though guys, will report back if fuel consumption has improved or not.

taken mine in today, gave them TNF:67/16......told them about the Gears and Thud I get...
said it would be in most of the day....will update on how it goes once done

ok had mine done - as with previous people feels so much better and overall feels nicer to drive!
Also they done my TailShaft fix, I will see how that one goes but so far so good....they had to sort my breaks out as I had squeaky ones and only done 5K....see how she goes

%K here too and my front left squeaks, did they say what they did to fix it?

something on the brake drums that needed filing down, they took both back ones off.
no more squeak...also no clunk anymore

Done under Warranty so was happy about that

Does anyone by chance have a copy of the technical bulletin so I can show the toyota dealer so they can stop denying it.

Not sure who your dealer is, but you need to make a complaint to Toyota Australia now and watch them change their tune.

The way i did it was this.

Called the Dealer Service Centre saying that I had 2 Problems

1. Flare of the Gears when changing and was Intermittent
2. Clunk when stopping / moving off and was also Intermittent

Booked me in the next free time they had, explained to them the issues and that TNF 67/16 will resolve them.
Its under Warranty and will be covered, so they have no excuse not to do it.

Hi Thinpins,

What's the performance like with the Unichip?

Thanks guys. I referred my dealer to this site and said whole of hilux owner in oz is talking about so I think you better check. They did and learnt something new. The power of social media !!!

So fuel consumption hasnt changed still pretty average for a diesel. Getting roughly 600km per tank . Filling it to around 55 litres per fill so 25litres not being used for some reason... I would have expected more than 700km per tank in a new diesel ute like this.

Sounds about right... 25 ltrs is over 200k more so you now know the range is 700+. When did the light come on?
