Hi everyone,
I have a problem and i need some help.
I have an Hilux 2009 model, 3.0L D4D, with 5 gears auto gearbox and 170.000kms .
One month ago, the car begins to emit black smoke when i was going at low speeds and accelerate.
The local Toyota said that injectors had a problem.
We check and clear the injectors but again the same smoke.
After that they said that EGR has a problem but they cannot clear it because they don't have time.
So i put a clear blanket in the pipe of EGR until they can clear my EGR.
But when I drive on the highway at a constant speed and 5th in the gearbox, and need to stop abruptly, when I get to stop I understand a very small 'hit' as soon as the engine speed drops to idle. As soon as I start again it does not go up from 4th to 5th.
However, if I turn off the car for 1 second and start again, it immediately works normally.
Τhe local dealership once told me that the ECT wants a change and then that it wants to repair the auto gearbox with a cost of over 3000 €.
if anyone has a similar experience and can help I would appreciate it.
sorry for my English
Regards
Stefanos
