G'day guys, I have a slight metallic scraping type noise when i accelerate. It only seems to come in from about 20-60km an hour and if I back off the accelerator quickly it makes a slight shutter noise. It doesn't to when the car is stationary. Once you get over about 80km's it seems to go away.
I took it to Toyota today and they told me was my exhaust springs & mounts were a little lose and full of mud.... They said it was all was fixed until I drove out of the service area and there was no change so I went back. Took the same guy for a drive as I did this morning and he could hear it just the same....
He then went down the injector path with dirty/water fuel etc.... as he would.
He suggested putting in some diesel injector cleaner in the fuel tank for a couple of weeks then go back if its still there.... sounds like going to the doc and taking two panadols......
Has anyone had similar or got any ideas what it might be. I have no warranty anymore as mine is a 2010 GXL diesel. So every hour they spend on it they will charge me....
Thanks,
Slatts
