Please refer to the manual for the purpose of identifying similar subject matter. As of the cause, I just went to marikina branch this morning to have my EGR - Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve replaced. It is somewhere (like a joint) near the 'camber (as the technician called it) of our Turbo. Naipon nung mga carbon dun kaya nadedetect ung corresponding sensor.

The chief technician also gave me a tip that such error or warning may be ignored and can be even reset (for EFI systems) by detaching the negative part of the battery. In this way, your car electronic system can be reset and if it is true that such warning were turned on incidentally, then it will not turn on anymore after reseting your system. However, if it will persist, then you better consult with your nearest toyota (after consulting of course you manual first).

More so, such EGR valve will cost around php 8,500.

sa sir bakit di nila reneset yung system mo? bakit they replace the EGR? under warranty pa ba yan?

Bongliza sir, Innova ba yan? thanks

Bro, Sorry to hear that Bong. I think you are third owner of D4d here in tsikot having twice of the problem. May I suggest that you request to REPROGRAM your ECU first before they replace again your CRDi system. It is faster and easier. Anyway nothing to loose it is very cheap and it is covered under warranty.

it sounds unfair to us buyers but to me, it's wise NOT to purchase newly introduced cars/technology. like the personal computers, they always have bugs. so if you can wait for the next batch the better or purchase an old model but reliable one.

i remember when forts & innovas were introduced, i told my officemates not to buy YET cause they might end up scratching their heads...

hi guys, would it matter what brand of diesel to use? Petron, Caltex, Shell, others? to prevent clogging of fuel filter, or put oil additives? thanks in advance.
