toyota hilux 2007 - TOyota Hilux Faulty fuel injectors - FraserBalwyllo
My Toyota Hilux has recently been diagnosed with faulty fuel injectors despite only having done 37,000 miles. Ive been quoted £2,400 + VAT for the repairs. I have read in various places about Toyota having had problems with the injector seals, the old copper ones being changed to aluminium ones i think. I am away to write to Toyota but I was just wandering if other people know anything else about this?? Any help would be gratefully received.

thanks again

My 2007 Hilux, now sold, had new injectors and associated plumbing and seals just out of warranty, all under goodwill, and that price is about right, the parts alone are £1700+vat.

If Toyota themselves have diagnosed this, presumably you have the cold rattles, then the dealer should be in touch with Toyota UK already on your behalf, assuming this is a UK model Hilux and not a Vigo, if it's a Vigo grey unfortunately they won't want to know.

Much could depend on the service record, if the vehicle has missed services then that could be a problem.
