Affordable Quality Alternative Parts For Popular Out Of Warranty Vehicles
The Toyota Hilux has proved to be one of the most popular bakkies in South Africa. Through-out the different design generations these vehicles were seen being utilised for private transport, day to day delivery and collections, as dedicated allocations for fleet owners, rough and tough farm work, military transport etc.
Currently, the eighth generation Hilux is carrying forward a reputation of exceptional reliability and sturdiness that was started in 1968 with the first generation of this model line-up, and is at the forefront of modern bakkies, showing off of a striking design with bold, aggressive lines.
From the range of engines that are designed to deliver more power against less fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions the D-4D, also serving as an option in the Fortuner range, proves to be a popular choice as power plant.
The D-4D is a straight four-cylinder turbo diesel engine with a double overhead camshaft and 16 valve design. It uses common rail injection technology that operates at very high pressures of up to 1350 bar.
Service intervals for these vehicles are as follows:
- Every 10 000 km for minor services.
- Change of oil and oil filter.
- Check fluid levels, condition of the multi-groove belt, wheel bearings, and wear on the brake pads etc.
Major service at 40 000 km:
- As per normal service but also including all other filters.
- The cambelt should be due for replacement between 130 000 and 150 000 km.
