I have just learnt there is an issue with the injector oil seals in the 150 Diesel 1KD-FTV engine in Europe to the point there is a recall in Europe and that in New Zealand there is a complete change of seals every 45K
Evidently they leak to a point where blow by gasses enter the engine oil stream which in turn turns the oil to carbon blocking up the oil pickup in the sump starving the engine of oil with consequences well you can guess .I'm not sure if anyone here has had that trouble yet but it certainly seems to be an issue elsewhere .I'm not sure if the carbonizing they recommend works so I'm not sure what the answer is .Can someone make a suggestion about preventing this ?? Cheers Foxy49
