  • Fuel cooler mounts - worth while checking..

    It might be worth having a look at your fuel cooler next time you are under the truck. Yesterday while fitting my transmission 4wd actuator guard to my new Prado, I noticed the fuel cooler that bolts up onto the body, above the transfer case/transmission has four fixed bolts and four nuts that hold the fuel cooler in place.

    My new car only had three nuts fitted to the four fixed bolts ? Pretty crap quality control I reckon. Luckly I had a spare toyota nut, the same as the other three. Only took a min to fix, but worth a quick look next time you are under the truck..

    I always check my fourbys everyday when I am out bush and that includes underbody. And always listen for anything usual as in noises.

    Spot on mate. A few mins looking over the truck can save hours fixing breakdowns out on the tracks !

            It's all part of toyota's tactics to ensure owners of all it's cars buy and carry with them a proper toolkit....

                  Sorted this mystery (I think?) and I was wrong.

                  If ya look, the third stud has not got a nut from the factory on all 150 diesels. It's only got a plastic disc thing (a damper I think now). I had gained a bugger of a vibration in the passengers seat, once I fitted a nut to this stud. Once removed, all the seat vibration issues have vanished.

                  I reckon the fuel cooler pulses and vibrates when pressurised fuel passes thru it. I should have just left it alone.

                    Mine only had 3 on it as well.
                    I asked to have the missing nut put on at last service but I haven't been under the car since to check.
                    Haven't noticed any vibrations tho.
