Hi Gents
New to Pradopoint but have been on LCOOL for a while, currently in the process of updating 2000 model 90 series Grande V6 to a 2007 GXL D4D with very low K's.
I have not owned a diesel before but was very impressed with the car when I drove it.
I will not be modifying the car at this point as it will be a daily commuter and family vehicle an also to tow the boat (about 2000kg when loaded)
Have been looking at the fuel consumption etc. and it certainly outweighs the thought of a petrol vehicle.
A couple of questions I have asked on LCOOL but have yet to receive a reply 1. Turbo cooling, what is the general consensus on cooling the turbo and turbo timers, the dealer (local toyota dealership) said that it is not necessary but I have my reservations in relation to this.
2. Fuel additive, a number of threads on LCOOL had discussed a fuel additive without naming it and I have no idea what it would be and why it is used. Is this related to the diesel quality in Australia or is this getting better with the introduction of the "Vortex Diesel"?
Thanks for your help!
Cheers
John
