Interesting post Sirs, kung "stuck closed" for ~ 700 kms then it only means that the EGR is really safe to be blank-ed - but hence the CEL. Sir rna800, curious lang, 2014 unit po ba yung sa inyo?

this is how egr system works(generally/similarly)

montero sport egr valve - YouTube


on low rpms/idle , egr valve is open.
as soon as you step on the pedal, it will close(when power is needed).

when will a CEL be triggered?
when your system is not blanked, carbon deposit builds up on your egr valve. when the ecu commands the egr valve to close or open, and the egr valve cannot comply because too much carbon deposits , 100 percent , CEL .
prolong your egr valve's life by blanking the system. in some autos, there is an actual sensor to detect the the presence of exhaust gas, dun natin kelangan hindi full blank, but on our rigs, there is no such sensors, kaya full blank is possible.

5 digits ung akin, sir. Yes kailangan yang key code kaya wag daw iwawala. Ganyan din ang sinabi sa akin ng SA ko noon before he handed me the keys.

Yun and important eh, sa forums maganda personal experiences not like others na puro sabi sabi lang. Thank you for sharing Sir rna800. Central diesel is the one beside Capitol Medical Center, Quezon Ave? =)

Yes sir, Central Diesel is the one beside Capitol Medical.

Halos naging diary ko na itong Dmax thread from the time I got my truck.hehe Kaya kung may mga problems kayo sa truck niyo, basahin niyo lang ung mga posts ko way back, baka na experienced ko na din.


*Djerms: Sulit na sulit talaga, sir. True workhorse. Yan ang gusto ko sa isang vehicle, takbo lang ng takbo at walang halong kaartehan kahit medyo nagkaka edad na.hehe

Hi guy!

Do you recommend any shop that specializes into power window etc.

Just this afternoon, nung binuksan yung rear right window, I heard a loud *blag* sound. I thought nakasagi ako while backing out from our garage, pero all clear naman. Then ayaw na bumaba, nor umakyat, then upon checking motor seemed to work, but the cable got derailed from its track, at nagka buhol buhol na yung cable sa motor. So naka tape nalang muna para lang maisara yung window. Hassle lang, at gastos na naman. Hahahah.

Thanks sa inputs.

Cabin Noise Vs. Hilux

Hello,

Is there any owner of the DMAX who also has experience driving the Toyota Hilux for a period of time? Is the cabin noise better on the Hilux?

My wife test drove the new DMAX and she said it is quite noisy. I have to test it myself in a couple of weeks time.

Reason for the question is we are looking between the 2 models:

Hilux = reputation for reliability, spare parts availability
DMAX = Superior fuel consumption, Diesel engine heritage

Really torn between the two. If anyone has experienced driving both, I'd very much appreciate any input.

Thanks!

Mas refined ang hilux. Quieter engine too.

After more than 1,700 kms that my MIL is showing on my dash, for some very weird reason, it just disappeared. I just went out then when I left, napansin ko wala na and the engine felt smoother again.

Wala naman akong ginawa. In fact I am just turning a blind eye on it already. Wala naman problem sa truck kasi kaya hinahayaan ko nalang. It had already traveled more than 100 kms and it has never lit up again. Hopefully wala na.

I am going to the southermost tip of Batangas and go up to Tagaytay this weekend and I am going to use the truck, let's see how it holds up. Mga nasa 400+ kms din un siguro back and forth.
