Probably doing stuff the van never did also lol

[assassin]

^^^ allyuh men really overdoing it with d spam

OP, our company used to service their vehicles by Ding
I don't have too much confidence in him for the more technical stuff

Heard a lot of good about Cyrus... never serviced by him though

Your best option...
choose a mech to send the van by, let him open it up and take it from there
depending on what needs to be replaced (and the cost), hunt for an engine for around $30-35k

but something like this... you not gonna get a diagnosis just so

any updates since your last post...

Nothing done YET on van BUT,

I had the scan done and found two injectors BAD and the mechanic said he's not hearing any noise to suggest internal engine damages.

James from bamboo came by yesterday and also checked the van and said nothing seems to be wrong engine or turbo wise.

he also suggests its the injectors that needs changing and the repairs or replacement of the head or damaged port.

he has the tool to re-grind the inner port a bit ( 1 tenth ) so the washer and seal can fit snug and solve that problem, he also said he can put in a copper ring and lock it in to see if it would solve the problem, the only downside is, if it doesn't work, i hadda change the head as the copper wont be able to come back out.

I am just trying to pool some finances at the moment as i am 99.9% set on changing injectors and repairing or replacing the head.

Rest assured ALL VIGO owners will be updated when it is done and how the vehicle performs thereafter.

I dont want another person to be scammed or robbed by " toyota mechanics " into repairing things that need not be repaired / replaced.

26th June 2013 : UPDATE

Ok people, so I finally had the problem sorted and the past 3 weeks the van's been running like a beyotch in heat......lol

What was done was the ports were grinded to allow the aluminium washers to be seated properly on the head and the injectors were changed, all of them.

The lil carbon build up was burnt out within two days and after that NO SMOKE at all from exhaust when starting, or accelerating. The van felt really powerful ( like it did when I changed all fluids last year )

A few days aback, I noticed a lil smoke again, when starting up and have to remove injectors once more and grind the ports a lil bit again as it seems one of the washers not seated properly.

The van has full power still though and I was also advised to drop and clean tank as an error code showed up on scanner by Sookhai's yesterday.

Honestly, I gonna complete the repairs and sell the van for 2 reasons :

1. Very few people seems to know about diesel servicing and maintenance in T&T AND
2. the van is perfect for a single guy or a married couple with NO KIDS. It is kinda inconvenient to have stroller in tray ( even though I have the carryboy ) and with the baby seat in back seat of van, space is very limited for others.

I am looking into a SUV and or a wagon as I think it would be more convenient to have all my son's stuff cose at hand, especially with the kinda rainy season we experieicing.

I had van re-valued yesterday at it's market price as is is 150k.

After wedding weekend, i'm gonna decide if to sell or not.....

Pics and so on will be posted once I decide.

Thanks Amit for all the help thus far bro and all others for their opinions and advice.

How much did those injectors cost you?

Glad you got it sorted out.

[Premera]

the injectors cost a lot bro...........but the performance was worth the money i.m.o.

[droppa]

cant want champagne taste with mauby money star!!!!

everyone knows 1KD injectors are expensive, but give the guys a lil feed back on what the costs were like......and who was the mech that handled you right up......


good to kno you back up and running and working smooth, the most common problem locally is not the mechs, it have men who kno their stuff, its the fuel, know navara sportero and vigo owners who have already swapped out injectors in under 100K......

[Premera]

everything cost about 16k and I still get a bless up with some of the labour prices.......if I had to pay the full price, it would have run about 20k

[Bezman]

swapping injectors should not have required grinding the head at all?! should have been a direct swap.. the recommended repair from toyota was to swap for the newer injectors with the new aluminium washers. glad you got it sorted though..

Agreed, however, the problem with the port and the washer not seating properly came with the van as the previous owner did not tell me that someone put a screw driver or something and gashed the port a bit.

It took me two years to finally get it right as I used to change washers and deals every few months and only recently it was discovered the true problem. The compression and combustion that came up into the chamber caused the injectors to swell and damage badly which caused the van to shut down 3 months aback.

I got the original aluminium washers this time, changed the bolts and even the double washers. I previously was mis-informed and ended up changing the entire fuel rail lines only to realize that was not the problem.

I have the lines and two brand new injectors for sale if anyone is interested ok.

It is for these reasons but mainly because the VIGO does not suit my needs as a " new daddy " that I am considering selling and getting an SUV.

The money is already spent, but the lessons learnt may have been tough but I have learnt a lot from the experiences and will gladly assist a fellow Vigo owner anyday, anytime......
