Hi guys,
This one is for a friend and his D4D Hilux (1KD-FTV). We were trying to climb Mt Pinnibar last weekend and his engine kept shutting off.
SYMPTOMS:
Whilst driving, the engine oil light would start flashing, then moments later then engine shuts off.
SCENARIO:
It occurred several times during steep climbs, and once immediately after a steep climb (within 30m of climbing). Steep offroad grades in all cases. I suspect it's angle related as it never occurred whilst on the highway to/from Sydney (which includes quite a few hills that would create a decent turbo load).
It occurs in low or high range.
We didn't notice any odd noises.
It was mid afternoon so outside temps would have been around 2-10 degrees, and the engine warm as we had been driving 500+ km that day. Altitude was between 600m and 800m.
VEHICLE:
140,000 kms. Recent service included the timing belt and all oil changes. A large portion of the tank had alpine diesel.
I've only ever troubleshooted petrols so any ideas at all would be appreciated.
