  • New 2.8 1GD dies in traffic, won't start

    My 850km 2.8 150 now sits parked outside service, towed after dying in traffic twice and then refusing to start.

    Bugger Bali, get out and see Australia before we sell it all to China.

          Makes me more inclined to go the Petrol even though I will also be towing 2T.

            If you're only an occasional tower then that may be a smart move.

              Some more details,

              Driving down Pacific Highway at Pymble in peak hours yesterday, car stalled while stopped in traffic. I restarted it, got about 200m more then it stalled again. Tried to start, no go. Managed to roll it across 2 lanes of traffic into a carpark without brakes and steering. Tried to start again, cranks but nothing. Checked all fuses, seemed fine. It had bullbar and towbar and transmission and sump guards installed by TJM that morning, but had done 50km or so since. Towie dropped it off blocking the doors into the service dept at the dealer I purchased from.

              Service Manager called me around 730 this morning, asking whats wrong. I said thats a bloody good question mate, you tell me. Explained the story and he didnt think it would have been the bullbar or towbar as he regularly sends vehicles to this TJM dealer.

              Now awaiting a call once they figure out wtf is wrong with it. Towie reckons it's out of diesel and the guage is wrong. Showing quarter tank of fuel and 392km of range left.

                Will be interesting to see what has happened. Thinking of upgrading next April when my warranty runs out....not to sure whether that's a good idea ATM might be better to wait a bit longer.

                  Updates: Dealer reprimed the fuel system (i also did this on side of road last night with no luck) and it ran for a minute and died again. Plenty of diesel in the tank. At the moment they are suspecting the pump. TMCA engaged for help from the dealer as they are stumped.

                        Fuel lines/cooler damaged or crushed when putting the sump/trans covers on? Unlikely I know but the timing of it...

                          It looks like the same dealer that dismissed the blown injector seal on my car. At least yours is under warranty, so they will get there in the end.

                            It amazes me.... that Toyota Dealerships don't seem to know the workings of their own products....

                              I reckon the dealer would have picked up on this pretty quick if it was the case. I've been given a brand new Corolla indefinitely until it's fixed.
