Hi guys,
Happy christmas/new year, hope you're all keeping positive and testing negative
So after many months of driving my 120, letting it idle a bit in the morning when cold so the tapping would stop from injectors, I got my first bit of white smoke. Not enough to declare a new pope, but enough to signal to me that I need to park the car up and sort out the injectors.
I'm going to be doing the job myself, as I want to do the EGR modification as well as other bits and pieces I've noticed need doing with it. I've also seen the price of the injectors!
I know the oft spoken about problems with injectors are the copper seals. I had a quick conversation (although not much else) with Toyota about it and I think my Land Cruiser had the seals done a few years ago. I don't know at what mileage or anything like that, and my local Toyota are a bit crap to deal with.
It's on 155,000 miles now, and often on the Facebook groups people are on about changing injectors. Now I thought the issues were down to the seals and that seals were the service item after 100,000 miles, so I thought I could just do the seals and leave the injectors as is. Am I wrong in assuming this? Or are the injectors themselves service items and should all be replaced?
