The grounds on which i got a lovely warning from the epa from a concerned citizen, was exessive smoke for more then 2 seconds. I was driving to the mechanics with a split intercooler in the non dpf equiped ranger i drive. And yes, i find it unpleasant driving behind typically newish hiluxs pumping out smoke. To be fair though, before the numpty called the epa, they did call my office, being a sign written car, its not hard to get the office number, but the only phone call i got was from the admin lady having a laugh about the complaint. Hence the further warning.

Parents have a fortuner, has 70 000 on the clock and has had 0 dpf problems. Its a country car. Dpf's are an issue for a lot of manufacturers at the moment, they are rubbish tech only on these motors for emission purposes. People expect to just turn the key in their new fancy dpf equipped vehicles and ride off into the sunset, unfortunately those carefree days are over, you have to learn how to look after them and no doubt down the track they will still stab ya in the back.

It was never offered as a retro fit in the "this is not a recall letter" either, it can be requested but is assessed on a case by case basis by Toyota. You can initiate a burn anytime with Torque Pro though. Having said all that, my work Hilux has been working as intended. Used 90% city 10% freeway. |

Will be interesting to see how it unfolds in any case, certainly hasn't hurt their numbers drastically at this stage. |

Had XF Jag with 2.2 diesel in Singapore. 3 years mostly urban traffic and no DPF problems. This is not a problem with all diesels, only this series if Toyota diesels. Have heard about thus problem for some time.

I havnt seen any prados smoking, but I have seen half a dozen bright, shiney new hiluxes sitting at the traffic lights smoking. And when they take off with the green, its like someone throwing wet grass onto a fire, the smoke is shocking.
Feel a bit sorry for them,when you catch them at the next set of lights and they are looking around with embarrassment at everyone watching their pride and joy puffing more than a 1930s locomotive. I live south of Perth, and have not seen the hiluxes on the Northlink project that Romulus has mentioned in his post. But a number of hiluxes the cops run around here in are always smoking. I have seen them at jobs talking to "customers". while their utes are puffing away like someone has dropped a hand full of oily rags onto their tailpipes. I would imagine these utes would suffer a bit more as they idle for a prolonged time during shifts |

Wait... you mean people who buy diesel work Utes designed for commercial usage are finding issues with them when they’re just driving them around the corner to the grocery store and to kids soccer practice, never allowing them to heat up?
No way. |

Article says they are actually copping EPA fines for a factory 'feature' of the vehicle. Wow.
Imagine the advertising opportunity: "Tame the Wild West and have the thrill of a brush with the Law"

There is some irony to this, my TTD V8 Land Cruiser is pre-DPF, when I floor it there is a lot of black smoke emitted - I'd assume perfectly legal.

MY16 was the first DPF’s and many of that first batch of MY16 200’s had injector issues which were fixed under warranty. My truck is MY15 the last non DPF.

What are the terms and conditions of the manual over ride? How many km between uses? At what temperature? At what RPM? You would be very surprised to know how many people have no clue where the coolant goes, where their spare is kept, what PSI range they should run their tyres at, hell, even the difference between fresh air and re-circulate for the vents. Relying on an average user to do that much thinking on a critical component of the car is asking for trouble.

He uses it for work all day around town. The engine will probably get hot enough, but he probably won’t drive fast and long enough to burn it off. |

If it wasn't that it was a genuine issue with the Toyotas, all new diesel vehicles would do it, cause a lot of drivers don't ever get them to burn off conditions, and they don't have the widespread issues Toyota drivers do. But I get what you are saying and many new diesel owners have no clue about dpf issues, and what is required to prevent them. |
