Welcome to all owners of Toyota Fortuner [ARCHIVED]

[bilog]

personally i do not cooldown the turbo's after running the engine on long trips or short ones. we have a pajero with 4d56 engine and never gave us problem with regards to turbo. the pajero is now almost 8 years old an still boosting strong. wel, that's for the 4d56 i do not not about the d4d engine.
btw, mine is a 2.7 vvti and it is a pleasant to drive. you'd be surprise how fuel efficient the engine is.

hay nako bad news mga pare. remember me yung nag post ng message according to my experience kung pano ko nakuha yung unit ko in just 8 days? well eto ang badtrip. nag start a few days ago na my unit was hard to start. when i try to turn it on the first time mamamatay yung makina. tapos the second time maghihingalo then mag kakaron lang ako ng ignition the third time I try. wow parang 3 weeks palang ata sakin tong unit eh. ala pa ata. well tawag ako ngyn sa dealer ko sa shaw and nireklamo ko. sabi nila dalhin ko raw yung yunit so I did. sabi nila 1 araw lang daw nila kailangan unit ko then guess what???? pinaiwan nila. ok lang naman sakin kasi sabi nila makukuha ko next morning. ha?! ano?! next morning???? asa pa ako! december 9 na ngyn and yung fortuner ko ay wala na sakin! maraming nagtataka kung bakit nakuha ko yung unit ko in 8 days. baka nga dahil sa ganto. So in conclussion im currently using my honda accord agen. and I realized na nag utak pinoy lang ako nung kelan dahil feel ko astig pag naka fortuner pero san ako ngyn? nag ddrive parin nung accord ko. so the point is be practical nalang siguro. wish ko lang makuha ko ulit unit ko asap kasi medyo nakakainis na. u think dapat nako gumawa ng move and go to DTI? or nakatimbre na ang toyota sa DTI para wag ng iprocess ang mga reklamo bout this? philippine politics nga naman. looking back a few weeks ago i realized that yung medyo may mga kaya and can afford to buy a fortuner ganto iniisip. "gusto ko ng fortuner kasi uso or bihira pa; astig ka pag nakafortuner" and pag nakabili na, ijujustify na yung pagbili nya. kasi naman aminin na natin guys. Hindi worth yung price tag nya para sa unit. E.G: the seats, the dashboard material, yung density ng metal ng chasis which is so brittle
(according to saudi tests saudiauto.com/toyota_review), and makina. well kung ala kayong reklamo sa makina nyo, ako meron. So it seems to me na ibingay nila ang price na ganto kasi they think that pinoys think that a big car has a big price tag and unique. well sa thaialand po ang price ng fortuner converted to PHP will only costs around 850k setting aside that its localy made there, FYI LOCAL NA DIN PO ANG ATIN. sad to say sa sta. rosa lang ho gawa ng fortuner nyo kung naproduce yan 4th quarter this year. well yung akin sta rosa.. thailand daw ba? ano ako nahihilo? kung ako business man and i run a car company i rather build at my own backyard rather than getting it from my neighbor kung kaya naman. oo nga pala yung sinasabi kong planata yung malapit sa planta ng coca-cola dun sa tagaytay exit pag galing ka ng SLEX. baka kaya naghihingalo D4D engine ko kasi sprite yung nailagay. *wink* eto nalang para sa mga fortuner owners. Im not saying na it was a bad choice to buy 1, lalo na dun sa mga wala pang bad experience and puro fun and proudness ang natitikman sa pagkakaroon ng fortuner, congrats. dun sa mga medyo nakakatikim ng onting preview ng impyerno sa pagkakaroon nito well message me. kasi im trying to introduce this things to the DTI. I'm not looking for sympathy pero sharing lang kasi baka makatulong yung information. SANA MAKUHA KO NA ULIT UNIT KO MISS KO NA SYA! the gloss finish black paint.... the shiny rims.. the loud disel brusko sound of the engine in the morning... ahhh.... miss you!

bro, you have the same problem with those Innova owners, you can visit Innova thread and D4D engine woes, marami dun complaints. I own an Innova D4D as well with 12K ODO na and fortunately oks lang naman. If you're planning to knock DTI's door. IMO, better to consolidate the names of D4D owners whether Fortuner/Innova and submit the position to DTI. In this case mas malakas ang dating. I think 2 fellows na from Innova that have their pumping system replaced by Toyota. If without warranty, they should have been cashing out P125K, and this is a lot of money. This issue has been in the forum for a few months and seems that nobody is taking some moves. Sama ako diyan...

Hello there Fortuner owners not an owner yet although, I am buying mine when I go home next year. I do have a question and hopefully someone will be able to help. Does anybody know where I can purchase a towing hitch for it? I am currently in San Diego and wanted to buy one here although since fortuner is not sold here, no hitch is sold too. My fortuner will be used to tow a boat kaya it will be useless without it.
Thanks

Congratulations! What is your unit variant? This is truly a going to be a very Merry Christmas for you and your family.

Thank you. 4x2 2.5L D4D Black. Im praying that I will not encounter the infamous D4d problems.

Sad to hear that. What variant yong unit mo? D4d 3.0?

I believe he got a 2.5G Fortuner.

*larshell: How's your Innova doing since Toyota replaced the fuel pump? Is it doing well na ba? Kwento naman...

[larshell]

Well,my observation is the engine is alittlebit quiet than before,fuel consumption improves b4 my fc is 7.3km/lt now 8.0km/lt pure city diving speed is 40-60pkh idle 15min. to 30min. Response also improves.But after 1,000km engine get noiseir again especially in the morning.

ask ko lang kung di ba makaka void ng warranty yung pag papalit ng stock horn?
any wiring's done? or remove lang stock then plug yung bago?

Thanks...

Alam mo naman ang dealerships... If you don't get it from them, they'll use it to void the warranty. But, you can fight for you consumer rights if your warranty claim is not related to the new horn or its wiring. Would you believe that the Stebel Nautilus I got is priced more than twice at certain dealerships?

Oh, and the wiring done is pretty straight forward. It's not that complicated, that it can affect the electrical system of the unit. You'll just need to uprate the horn fuse (from 10A to 20A, in my case).
