Mine goes in on the 3rd August for the same thing. I have 94k on the clock.stevearm77 wrote:Just got back from the Dealer, no more white cloud of death following me, for now i guess.
Here's what they did:
"In accordance with technical newsflash TNF 2018 reflashed and force burn DPF.
Using GTS reflashed ECU file to updated version.
Removed fifth injector & cleaned - refitted
Inserted cleaner spray into sensor one hole after removing sensor - refitted
Using GTS did two burns in accordance with the technical newsflash instructions.
After completing two burns reviewed statistics and found the DPF to be ok"
From what they said, it's a software issue & it's been resolved with the latest update. Time will tell i guess......

With the bushfire season now fast approaching I am extremely concerned that it may start a fire anytime without notice. I am asking a hypothetical question, If I was to remove the internal filter from the DPF (I know that it could be only used off road then) would it stop trying to do burns. Would it not think that the filter was clean as there would be no pressure difference on either side of the filter. So the ECU would not register a need to burn the particulate.

My 2017 Hilux 4wd dual cab auto has just had 3 smoking events within the last 1500K's starting at about 37000K's with none previous to that. It only lasts for a minute before it clears out but very embarrassing. Up until the 37000K mark I was doing a lot of highway driving but since then lots of short trips around town although i have been deliberately taking it out on to 80-100K roads to try and get the burn going. I drive in eco mode most of the time and don't carry much weight and get 8.6L/100k which is accurate. I did notice on the last smoking event a different noise coming from the engine bay and the fuel consumption read out shot up. I assume it was the regeneration thing happening but are the clouds of smoke normal or acceptable? Will be having it's 40000K service soon and will be letting them know that i am well aware of the DPF issues with these engines. Will post back the results then.
