  • Ticking/squeaking sound underneath engine 1kz-te 3.0td

    Hi Guys,

    I have recently bought myself a 120 Prado 3.0L TD and love it. Although recently I have noticed a slight ticking noise in time with the engine, even on idle. I have checked the fan belts but the noise doesn't sound like it's coming from around there. It sounds lower. I can clearly hear the noise when im driving next to a barrier or something that reflects the sound back to me. It seems to get louder as the revs rise but as soon as I put my foot on the clutch the noise disapears. Just a bit concerned. Hopefully nothing serious. Just wondering if anyone has had similar problems and if so how to fix it. Hope you guys can help.

    I also realised last night that when I put my foot on the clutch slightly the noise goes away. Must be something to do with the clutch?

      Sounds like a dry throw out bearing in that case, though still hard to diagnose. Best bet is to take the car to a mechanic, maybe ok but then maybe not.

        Ok thanks for that. Ill probably get it checked and see what they say. If I change that bearing, I may as well do the clutch, spigot bearing and the rear main while im there lol. Hopefully it can wait.

          I had the same problem with my 98 V6 manual. They pulled the box at 65,000km and rebuilt the lot under warranty including new spigot bearing. They didn't find anything actually wrong though and the noise disappeared.

            Could be flywheel bearings.

            but most likely spigot bearing

              I think you will find it is the clutch fork pivot , pretty common complaint forever and had one today in the workshop, the thing that stands out is when you apply light pressure to the clutch pedal it goes away , this stops the fork from wriggling on the pivot and squeaking , spigots only work when the clutch is fully depressed and the thrust bearing will get worse as you depress the clutch

                Ok thanks for that. Do u think this is a major problem that should be fixed ASAP? Or can it wait until I have to change the clutch? The clutch seems fine though, no slipping and engages nearly as soon as you depress the peddle. There also is another noise, when in neutral there is a rattling like noise but once the clutch pedal is pushed in it goes away. Would that be the thrust or spigot or???

                  leave it until the clutch is replaced , you can sometimes oil the pivot with an oil can if you are really carefull to stop the squeak , but you need to know what you are doing
                  The rattling noise sounds like roll over noise from the gearbox ,usually nothing to worry about , when was the last time the oil was changed?

                    Thanks Bear63,

                    I have only had the rig for about 2 months now. I bought it from a TOyota dealer. Apparently it was the General MAnger's car. So im guessing it was well looked after. Not sure when it was changed last, so I might just do it next 5k service for piece of mind.
