[2717]

North, South.......anywhere.....just a guy that knows the Hilux real good....fed up of the firm...preferably someone who sources original parts himself.....knows the maintenance schedule etc... The less hassle, the better...
Also, where in Couva will i find the Amsoil products??....

boy, is poor service right round, but i still prefer to deal with toyota, since they are the least worst out of the lot. But i would also recommend Sashri

But wouldn't you void the warranty if anyone but the dealer works on it?

Are you prepared to foot the bill yourself if anything needs to be replaced other than normal consumables?

[Team Loco]

Rory, I asked toyota the same warranty question. They always answered "not necessarily" and smile

[2717]

Thanks E2R......yeah i used to deal with Shashri for another vehicle when he was still in Toyota........i think i'll check him....!!!

Well Rory, i was thinking the same thing....but less than a year has passed....and i passed 40K.......i'm hoping nothing could go wrong by end of next year when the warranty is up........

Oh yeah i was looking for Amsoil products up in Valpark....all i found was this Prestone Diesel Fuel Treatment...........don't know how good it is..but i still bought it.....the shop in Valpark said by next week Thursday they will have Amsoil stuff back in stock....

2717... that's a new vehicle all you should be doing is changing oil, filters and fluids.

Becareful with the fuel treatments you use on the D4D common rail engines. They're quite sensitive.

[2717]

Thanks sweeks.....i'll keep that in mind.......

My mechanic told me not to chance using the cetane boost, however he did say i can try the diesel additive, but in less than recommended amounts. He showed me a frontier where the guy put too much cetane boost and ruined the engine.

Sashri reach on the board yes.....lol

[DeepThought]

Hello, I know this is a old thread, but I tried calling Sashri and some woman ans. and hung up.
Anyone knows if he still does work and what is his tel. no.

If not, anyone know of anywhere else I can take my 2006 Toyota Hilux Vigo (1KD-FTV) to get repaired, I fear I have injector problems, there is some mechanical noise when first started for the morning and blue smoke but then after that it works fine.

Thanks
