Hey Anthony and viewers, Another great video. Thanks for the advice. Just wanted to share my journey with the 1KD codes, maybe will help others and maybe others can help me. Here we go - Hilux 2005 3.0l SR5 TD (this is not a hilux hospital! 😂) mechanically, unmodified all standard all genuine Toyota parts used. - codes: P0098, P0108, P1251. First 2 codes have been fixed, your videos of cleaning the EGR/elbow/manifold, cleaning and replacing map sensors (cracking and becoming dirty) were useful. Quick and easy fixes. The wonderful P1251 - - in addition to all the above cleaning and replacement items, cleaned intercooler and piping - cleaned boost sensor (on intercooler) - brand new stepper motor The code disappeared for a week after new actuator and reset. But didnt last long. This has been ongoing everyday, every drive for about 4 months now. The next step will be to change the turbo driver motor (computer). If this fails, replace the MAF sensor? And/or consider a new turbo. ...sigh$$$ The ute is clean, goes up some kerbs but hasn't seen dirt offroading in a long time. Before spending some really big dollars, aside from INOX on moving parts, any other tips/tricks? Cheers Oz.
I have also the same problem..i dont know where to start..in what i saw in your comment this problem makes me broke financially if i have done all youve done with yours.
Sticky vane linkage. This was 2008 for vw tdi owners. Pinch ya vacuum tube to your solinoid from the intake manifold. At idle. You should see vane linkage move. If it doesn’t. Lube it. ( high temp grease, inox etc) this works for vw tdi motors. Also a good way to unstick turbo vanes is liqumoly diesel decarb spray. If you have the knowledge & confidence. Disconnect your down pipe. Get mr muscle oven cleaner with a long reach spray nozzle attached to the can. Insert it into the exhaust turbine and spray the vanes and turbine. Reconnect everything, manually move the vane actuator. Let soak for at least an hr. Reconnect everything. Start engine. Drive it with spirit. Vw tdi are know for sticky vanes. This is a know solution. Another is water methanol injection, a weak mix 30 meth 70 water. With keep vanes clean of soot. Moving freely
had the dreaded p1251 limp mode last night. But luckily having watched these videos knew what to do. wasnt a nice feeling going into limp mode at midnight with another 30mins to go getting home. we were towing a car trailer at the time too which makes recovery an even harder prospect for racq. not what you want after being at a race meeting since 7am. my little scanner which has been great up untill now read p1251. i thought thats fine ive know what to do. but it wouldnt actually clear the code. scanner said it was cleared but the dash light said otherwise. did the reccomended turning off and on ect. last resort was i dissconected the battery for a minute. reconcted and away we went on full power. didnt miss a beat for the rest of the journey and still ok thismorning. Thanks for the info Anthony. it pays to be informed and press the bell guys. cheers
Hey mate. I had this happen in the holidays. 2011 SR hilux D4D 320,000kms on clock, was up it on the freeway 4th gear, 3000rpm and boom, power dropped, engine light on and limp mode. Brother brought his scan tool, identified p1251, cleared code. Drove home, we cleaned the whole unit, relubed it and tracked the main cables that it’s connected up to and ends up on the other side of the engine to an earth point. Took that off and cleaned lead point up and spot on the body where it’s mounted too and hasn’t happened since been 3 weeks. But we will DYI cleaning egr valve and manifold next and replacing MAP.
Got the code, saw this video and look'd for dirt on this lever.... it was not dirt it was disconnected ! The "split" was gone. I hooked it back togeather and secured it with wire temporaly. No more problems. THANKS 👍
He tenido un P1251 en mi KDJ120 por primera vez a los 305000 km, perdió potencia y encendió varios testigos en el cuadro. Llevaba un OBD bluetooth en el coche y borré el fallo, no ha vuelto a ocurrir de momento. Gracias por tu video, creo que me ha ahorrado varios cientos de euros.
This code led me astray on a 1KD hiace. The engine loom actually runs behind an idler pulley on front of engine and the plastic clamp broke and loom actually fell outwards and rubbed on back of pulley. I rang my local toyota dealer to let them know of my findings and they said they have also had one hiace like this also. This may help someone and stop a servo or turbo being installed for no reason. Cheers
Just Sent my 2008 Hilux for Injectors to be done and EGR blanked off after watching your videos. Running so sweetly afterwards and Dino pulls showed a gain of 1.5kw before and after. However threw this Turbo code twice the next day... limp mode on the highway in South Africa wasnt fun... Thanks for the info well timed for me!
Hey Ant, Another great video mate. So I was a victim of this code yesterday Cruise set to 100km tapping my steering wheel to some credence and then Buuurrrrr engine light on limp & ute was in limp mode I had a chuckle turned the engine of got out checked all the obvious symptoms all good. Started her up limped home. Threw the scan tool on and had " stepper motor DC circuit low" and another one (forgot to take a pic) checked all the plugs and map sensor filter bit of crud in one plug cleaned everything down. Reset the DTCs then came back on again straight away. Turned ute off checked over again then seen some dirt on stepper linkage cleaned and lubricated and all good from there. Code has not come back. Thanks again for your knowledge mate as I was about to buy a new turbo and stepper!
Bought a Toyota hilux 2007, has a 3inch exhaust but gets this code P1251 after a certain amount of power. I’ve been told it’ll need to be tuned to prevent this from happening as it’s over boosting in the lower gears.. sound about right fellas?
Do you have any videos on how to remove / change out the turbo in a 1kdftv Hilux or is it so straight forward you don't need one? Just after info on what gaskets etc might need changing.
Happened to me towing a caravan up a hill. Cleared it with a scan tool but Happened a month later to my daughter while driving up a hill. Will try the lube trick.
Sounds about right. Happened to me yesterday and of course in the middle of nowhere with no reception 😔 played around for a bit trying things and it came good without clearing code after a few stop starts. Happened just after coming off dusty dirt road and hit some water too hard. Thanks for the explanation mate!
My mechanic replaced the actuator with an after market one , Goss . 1 month later , same again, he lubed it. A little while later same again. Actuator replaced again with another Goss. 2 wks ago. …Tonight it has now done it 3 times … limp mode, turn off,wait 2 minutes and away I go . I’m so frustrated.. any advice would be greater appreciated. Mechanic did say possible the turbo now. No noise though??
Good evening, to you all from UK 🇬🇧😳 Been having a few problems with the truck Turbo. Try and keep it short. Purchased new in 2012 Euro 5 spec, a KUN26 3.0 D4D Double cab invincible Hilux built in South Africa, from main dealer in UK. @ 40k miles got it chipped and DPF and EGR delete. I was pushing it a little hard having a bit of a race and spooling down backing off into a roundabout and the turbo let go! 💥 😢, all the exhaust turbines smashed….. My mechanic not main dealer took it to bits and found that the VNT had hit the fan exhaust fins on the Turbo. We removed the chip and put back the egr but kept the DPF deleted as was gone amyway. He fitted a turbo cassette off eBay and that turbo did not last with bearings gone again probably due to not balancing properly, understandable as but needed a quick fix and need it for work. Then removed and sent to a professional turbo manufacturer on the south coast of UK. This one lasted 20,000k and four years and was replaced, with bearing noise (siren) and was sent back the the same manufacturer, they said it had impact damage again! Now Truck has done 63,000k, still no chip installed and had the new Turbo fitted but keeps going into limp over 2000 rpm but sometimes takes off and sometimes gets stuck on limp most of time. Just had the code at that time engine low power. My mechanic after checking and me replacing lots of sensors (map sensor, map filter, vacuum actuator flap that opens inlet flap changed and checking the wires to the ECU, all ok. find that the 4th new turbo done no miles since fitting as not been using the truck has the actuator codes and at fault or possibly Vnt sticking, we think is dead. They want it back to inspect. Taken the cir clip off the actuator rod and manually moved it and seems a bit sticky, The Turbo people said it was a new VNT part. With the van hire costs it would have been cheaper for a OEM Toyota turbo. Has anyone experienced any similar problems or could add anything that we may have missed. Toyota main dealership said that they have never known this many Turbos go at 63k miles. The 4th turbo is still in the truck but the turbo manufacturer is sending a actuator to plug (was not this) in to test before removing and sending back. Now I have just decided to delete the EGR again that is clean and ok. Why did the original turbo exhaust turbines hit the VNT’s and not hit the stops or was it soot build up?. Not sent the turbo back yet. Do you think deleting the DPF is like having a big free flowing exhaust and causing it to over boost? All help would be much appreciated. I’ll let you know what the Turbo people have said after they have looked at it. . . . My confidence has been lost a little in the 1KD. . . . . . Thanks Martin. 🥺💸💸💸💸💸 Butter BOOM!💥😂👍🏻
Hi, I am from Norway and in search of INOX i get only metalpaint spray, and I am quite sure this is not what I am supposed to use. Can I use WD40? or what is the purpose of using INOX exactly, what ingredients am I looking for in the spray? Thankyou for your video, Is good learning, I am not a mechanic obviously, but I am trying to save my Rav4 2004 :-)
Hello, I have a problem on a 2000 model 1kd Prado. It keeps on bringing fuel line malfunction and engine light keeps on. The vehicle starts but cuts off after a few seconds with but with hard start. I have tried replacing the common rail, the fuel pump and now the injectors but still doing the same. What would be causing that? Please I need your advise
I'm having actuator woes. engine light stuck on and the actuator wont move. to cut the long story short I ordered a couple of wrong actuator motors with no return they all look fairly identical but seems to work the opposite. took the old actuator apart but not sure whats wrong with it. any videos of how to rebuild one?
Got the same problem first I change the turbo driver motor didn’t work then the stepper motor from another Hilux twice still got the same problem.what it could be?
I got the P00046 code which put the Prado 120 into limp mode. Cleared the code but would come back instantly. Sprayed some inox on linkage and didn’t solve the problem. Fixed by changing the turbo stepper motor. Hope this helps someone.
Hey Fellas I am having this P1251code showing up - I have the scan gauge and clear it straight away. Have NOT done the spay lube job (soon to do it) just wanted to ask a question - Will lubing the turbo arm fix this continuous (but very intermittent) code - this code throws up fairly regular for me. It will throw the P1251 code, I reset via my scan gauge, and then it may not happen again for 300/500 or 1000 kilometres we just never know and then it happens generally going up a hill (I live on Tamborine Mt) it simply drops out. Must say that isn't always the case, did it on the highway once (dangerous) as it went into limp mode. It is so intermittent its a little scary - my wife will not drive our EVER reliable 2008-120 Grande, 290K's on the clock, running like a dream clean and well kept amazing Prado - EXCEPT for the P1251 code. WHAT TO DO? I did install a manual mapper - (just disconnected because of the continuous codes) and blocked off my EGR valve around three years ago, plus installed 3 inch SS exhaust). Reckon like Anthony says leave the friggin thing alone and it will be perfect - reckon he is DEAD right! After all this dribble is this turbo knackered due to it doing it so often - or do I do the spray and pray!
Larry it fixes many of them unfortunately I didn’t have time to read your whole comment but I wanted to reply quickly we’ve got some others on the go at the moment it seems to be improving them so let’s see hi worth a try before you spend big bucks on a turbo
I have experience common with your problem sir..my 2kd hilux after remapping..it was good but after a month there was this code same to yours but mine have others like p0047, we did clean my turbo also my egr..but did not solve the problem..now my mechanics says i should buy a replacement for my step motor...as for now when the code comes out i just reset my ecu by disengaging the battery terminal..now my question is..how did you solve the problem sir?
Awesome video thanks, I've got a small problem, I'm a technician at Ford and carried out a service on my bosses son's hiace and he said that a sound wasn't present before the service, During the cold start up the engine sounds fine, but after a road test the engine sound changes as if load is on the engine and exhaust at idle, with minimal exhaust release at the tail pipe, like a blocked exhaust, when I give it a Rev, the exhaust makes a fffffpifff sound similar to a trucks air brakes giving an impression that it's built up pressure while the throttle is applied then unblocking the pressure load after releasing the throttle as a delayed response to the engine acceleration, I did give the vehicle a steam clean to the underbody of the engine. And has no engine warning lamps illuminated. Any help would be appreciated thanks
Great video mate. Have you seen many P0047 codes? Our 2016 2.8lt has started faulting and going into limp mode when towing our small caravan when the outside ambient temperature is over 38 degrees. (Turbo Charger boost controller circuit low fault)
The bottom linkage on my actuator arm is snapped and not connected to anything. The other end doesn't seem to rotate at all. I'm very new to this engine so not sure if I should be able to get it to rotate, or whether I can fix the arm or need a whole new turbo?
I got told to reset to fuel stepper motor to help with my 1251 on my 120 1KD and so far so good but has only been a few days now, will be trying this if it happens again
Before changing the 600 stepper motor, loosen the top 8mm screw on back of turbo and save a lot of hassle it casues the veins to stick trust me i have owned 3
Hi Anthony, Great channel and have now subscribed. Quick question, how many kilometres do injectors last on average. Should they be replaced at a certain age or distance just to retain reliability? I have a 4JJ1 thats done 200 000kms and not showing any issues. Thanks. Steve.
I had the same problem and a mechanic I know said: "do nothing else, but use your manual shifter, drive with higher rpm for a while and the EGR (exchaust gas regulator or such) will clean it self. The problem is that when the engine is tuned on a level, where it is really reliable, the low rpm with automatic transmission will get the EGR flogged with carbon which mainly causes this P1251 error. So: get rid of the error with OBDII reader and step on it. PS: was about to get robbed by Toyota dealer repair shop, with offer of 4500€ for turbo change.
I had a p1251 show up on the weekend on the way to the snow. Showed engine and traction light. I turned the car off and turned back on. Didn’t work. Then used my scan gauge to clear the code and it went away. Then shut the car off and on again and hasn’t showed up since. Been 4 days
@@Fourby4Diesel Yes, I was just wondering if you have a workshop in Sydney, I am about the buy a second hand Prado, and would like to have you to check it up. Many thanks, Talk soon.
Hey mate, I have one of theses at the shop at the moment with the same code! Turbo was making a sretching noise checked and found it was missing to blades on the exhaust side. Prior to replacing the turbo the bloke said it kept bringing up this code. After an hour of driving the code came back on again after replacing the turbo. Any ideas? I have a feeling that it could be a wiring issue?
Hi i have the same.problem i go over 2000rpm and i beginst tu stalk and go to limpmode and check engine light .. But i ta wa a time that my hilux 2006 wanst getting any boost i go te inspect and i saw de bolt on the actuator loos so i thight it but the its move (the rear part of the actuator) its like it is spring load ? I dont know but when i put i all the way tru the car fander way it dosnt boost and pas the 2000 rpm no boost no stalking no check engine just a motor with no boost when i turn it al the way tru the engine it boost but then i pas the 2000 rpm and stalks en go to limp mode and check enchine i didnt scan it jet because i go en pres every plug and start the car the check engine is gone but as soon as go over 2500 or 3000 it dose it again what coult it be meby some not good connectors ot dos the springi thing on the back of the actuator that hase the arm conect to has e timing or a position i dont know i want to go with the turbos thant dont have the electric actuator but its gonna be oke?????? Because what can i put on the harnas tha use to go to the actuator or.leave it like that hellpp mee plss thank youuu
Intercooler boost leak is causing turbo to work harder (overboost) to compensate for for the boost leak. The MAP sensor is after the intercooler, so any leaks in your intercooler will be seen by the ECU as a your turbo not working hard enough so it will adjust the veins to produce more boost and overwork. If you have boost leaks between your turbo and MAP sensor it is simply a matter of time before your turbo fails in one way or another.
Hi, 2009 Prado with 325k on the clock here, stock except for the EGR blanking plate with 7mm hole added at around 300k. It happened to me twice last week-end, 200km apart, while climbing serious hills at 130kph with cruise control: check engine lights (+ VSC etc) on the dashboard, limp mode. Stopped in emergency (quite nerve-wracking), turned the engine off and on to exit limp mode, read and cleared a P1251, then restarted. From the second time on, I made sure to reduce speed on steep inclines, and did not have the issue for the remaining 600km of the trip. I now performed a stepper motor test using techstream, set the position at different intervals between 40 and 100% and it worked fine: ua-cam.com/video/WogLpyU6weo/v-deo.html (you can hear the clicking noise change). No error code logged after the test. Will lubricate the linkage and report back if it happens again...
Hey Anthony and viewers,
Another great video. Thanks for the advice. Just wanted to share my journey with the 1KD codes, maybe will help others and maybe others can help me. Here we go
- Hilux 2005 3.0l SR5 TD (this is not a hilux hospital! 😂) mechanically, unmodified all standard all genuine Toyota parts used.
- codes: P0098, P0108, P1251.
First 2 codes have been fixed, your videos of cleaning the EGR/elbow/manifold, cleaning and replacing map sensors (cracking and becoming dirty) were useful. Quick and easy fixes.
The wonderful P1251 -
- in addition to all the above cleaning and replacement items, cleaned intercooler and piping
- cleaned boost sensor (on intercooler)
- brand new stepper motor
The code disappeared for a week after new actuator and reset. But didnt last long. This has been ongoing everyday, every drive for about 4 months now.
The next step will be to change the turbo driver motor (computer). If this fails, replace the MAF sensor? And/or consider a new turbo. ...sigh$$$
The ute is clean, goes up some kerbs but hasn't seen dirt offroading in a long time.
Before spending some really big dollars, aside from INOX on moving parts, any other tips/tricks?

Hi i have the same problem. Did you ever find the fix for this?
I have also the same problem..i dont know where to start..in what i saw in your comment this problem makes me broke financially if i have done all youve done with yours.
Sticky vane linkage. This was 2008 for vw tdi owners.
Pinch ya vacuum tube to your solinoid from the intake manifold. At idle. You should see vane linkage move. If it doesn’t. Lube it. ( high temp grease, inox etc) this works for vw tdi motors.
Also a good way to unstick turbo vanes is liqumoly diesel decarb spray.
If you have the knowledge & confidence. Disconnect your down pipe. Get mr muscle oven cleaner with a long reach spray nozzle attached to the can. Insert it into the exhaust turbine and spray the vanes and turbine.
Reconnect everything, manually move the vane actuator.
Let soak for at least an hr.
Reconnect everything. Start engine. Drive it with spirit.
Vw tdi are know for sticky vanes. This is a know solution.
Another is water methanol injection, a weak mix 30 meth 70 water. With keep vanes clean of soot. Moving freely

Hey mate. I had this happen in the holidays. 2011 SR hilux D4D 320,000kms on clock, was up it on the freeway 4th gear, 3000rpm and boom, power dropped, engine light on and limp mode.
Brother brought his scan tool, identified p1251, cleared code.

But we will DYI cleaning egr valve and manifold next and replacing MAP.
Got the code, saw this video and look'd for dirt on this lever.... it was not dirt it was disconnected ! The "split" was gone. I hooked it back togeather and secured it with wire temporaly. No more problems. THANKS 👍

Hi Anthony,
I have error P1251 and P0045 unsure what to do!
Happened to me towing a caravan up a hill. Cleared it with a scan tool but Happened a month later to my daughter while driving up a hill. Will try the lube trick.
Sounds about right. Happened to me yesterday and of course in the middle of nowhere with no reception 😔 played around for a bit trying things and it came good without clearing code after a few stop starts.
Happened just after coming off dusty dirt road and hit some water too hard.
Thanks for the explanation mate!
Vgt vanes seizing up, drop the rod off and see how free it moves. New turbo required if vanes are sticky.
My mechanic replaced the actuator with an after market one , Goss . 1 month later , same again, he lubed it. A little while later same again. Actuator replaced again with another Goss. 2 wks ago. …Tonight it has now done it 3 times … limp mode, turn off,wait 2 minutes and away I go .
I’m so frustrated.. any advice would be greater appreciated.
Mechanic did say possible the turbo now. No noise though??
Is it worth putting some inox on the linkage just as a precaution? Or just leave it alone.
i get yesterday that code Avensis 2.2 . what can i expect for future? i have "just" 390000 km Thanks
Good evening, to you all from UK 🇬🇧😳
Been having a few problems with the truck Turbo. Try and keep it short.
Purchased new in 2012 Euro 5 spec, a KUN26 3.0 D4D Double cab invincible Hilux built in South Africa, from main dealer in UK.
@ 40k miles got it chipped and DPF and EGR delete.
I was pushing it a little hard having a bit of a race and spooling down backing off into a roundabout and the turbo let go! 💥 😢, all the exhaust turbines smashed…..
My mechanic not main dealer took it to bits and found that the VNT had hit the fan exhaust fins on the Turbo. We removed the chip and put back the egr but kept the DPF deleted as was gone amyway. He fitted a turbo cassette off eBay and that turbo did not last with bearings gone again probably due to not balancing properly, understandable as but needed a quick fix and need it for work.
Then removed and sent to a professional turbo manufacturer on the south coast of UK. This one lasted 20,000k and four years and was replaced, with bearing noise (siren) and was sent back the the same manufacturer, they said it had impact damage again! Now Truck has done 63,000k, still no chip installed and had the new Turbo fitted but keeps going into limp over 2000 rpm but sometimes takes off and sometimes gets stuck on limp most of time. Just had the code at that time engine low power.
My mechanic after checking and me replacing lots of sensors (map sensor, map filter, vacuum actuator flap that opens inlet flap changed and checking the wires to the ECU, all ok. find that the 4th new turbo done no miles since fitting as not been using the truck has the actuator codes and at fault or possibly Vnt sticking, we think is dead. They want it back to inspect. Taken the cir clip off the actuator rod and manually moved it and seems a bit sticky, The Turbo people said it was a new VNT part.
With the van hire costs it would have been cheaper for a OEM Toyota turbo.
Has anyone experienced any similar problems or could add anything that we may have missed. Toyota main dealership said that they have never known this many Turbos go at 63k miles.
The 4th turbo is still in the truck but the turbo manufacturer is sending a actuator to plug (was not this) in to test before removing and sending back.
Now I have just decided to delete the EGR again that is clean and ok.
Why did the original turbo exhaust turbines hit the VNT’s and not hit the stops or was it soot build up?. Not sent the turbo back yet. Do you think deleting the DPF is like having a big free flowing exhaust and causing it to over boost?
All help would be much appreciated.
I’ll let you know what the Turbo people have said after they have looked at it. . . .
My confidence has been lost a little in the 1KD. . . . . .
Thanks Martin. 🥺💸💸💸💸💸 Butter BOOM!💥😂👍🏻
Hi, I am from Norway and in search of INOX i get only metalpaint spray, and I am quite sure this is not what I am supposed to use. Can I use WD40? or what is the purpose of using INOX exactly, what ingredients am I looking for in the spray? Thankyou for your video, Is good learning, I am not a mechanic obviously, but I am trying to save my Rav4 2004 :-)
yes
I have just ordered a stepper motor for a kun26r vigo will report on findings once ive replaced it or found the turbo vanes stuck lol
Hello,
I have a problem on a 2000 model 1kd Prado. It keeps on bringing fuel line malfunction and engine light keeps on. The vehicle starts but cuts off after a few seconds with but with hard start. I have tried replacing the common rail, the fuel pump and now the injectors but still doing the same.
What would be causing that? Please I need your advise
I'm having actuator woes. engine light stuck on and the actuator wont move. to cut the long story short I ordered a couple of wrong actuator motors with no return they all look fairly identical but seems to work the opposite. took the old actuator apart but not sure whats wrong with it. any videos of how to rebuild one?
Got the same problem first I change the turbo driver motor didn’t work then the stepper motor from another Hilux twice still got the same problem.what it could be?
I have a 2007 hilux which i put a 2nd hand turbo inn an it make a siren noise. Can i ajust it or do i take it to a professional
I got the P00046 code which put the Prado 120 into limp mode. Cleared the code but would come back instantly. Sprayed some inox on linkage and didn’t solve the problem. Fixed by changing the turbo stepper motor. Hope this helps someone.
Did u get the engine light and trc light come on ? What did the repair cost you and was the turbo making a winding noise ?
Hey Fellas I am having this P1251code showing up - I have the scan gauge and clear it straight away. Have NOT done the spay lube job (soon to do it) just wanted to ask a question - Will lubing the turbo arm fix this continuous (but very intermittent) code - this code throws up fairly regular for me. It will throw the P1251 code, I reset via my scan gauge, and then it may not happen again for 300/500 or 1000 kilometres we just never know and then it happens generally going up a hill (I live on Tamborine Mt) it simply drops out. Must say that isn't always the case, did it on the highway once (dangerous) as it went into limp mode. It is so intermittent its a little scary - my wife will not drive our EVER reliable 2008-120 Grande, 290K's on the clock, running like a dream clean and well kept amazing Prado - EXCEPT for the P1251 code. WHAT TO DO?
I did install a manual mapper - (just disconnected because of the continuous codes) and blocked off my EGR valve around three years ago, plus installed 3 inch SS exhaust). Reckon like Anthony says leave the friggin thing alone and it will be perfect - reckon he is DEAD right!
After all this dribble is this turbo knackered due to it doing it so often - or do I do the spray and pray!
Larry it fixes many of them unfortunately I didn’t have time to read your whole comment but I wanted to reply quickly we’ve got some others on the go at the moment it seems to be improving them so let’s see hi worth a try before you spend big bucks on a turbo
Fourby4Diesel thanks Anthony love you hear from others in this situation as it is really dangerous pulling a van etc. and limp mode hits...
I have experience common with your problem sir..my 2kd hilux after remapping..it was good but after a month there was this code same to yours but mine have others like p0047, we did clean my turbo also my egr..but did not solve the problem..now my mechanics says i should buy a replacement for my step motor...as for now when the code comes out i just reset my ecu by disengaging the battery terminal..now my question is..how did you solve the problem sir?
Scv/prv ?
Do you know what the plug connector that we can see is for?
Awesome video thanks, I've got a small problem,
I'm a technician at Ford and carried out a service on my bosses son's hiace and he said that a sound wasn't present before the service,
During the cold start up the engine sounds fine, but after a road test the engine sound changes as if load is on the engine and exhaust at idle, with minimal exhaust release at the tail pipe, like a blocked exhaust,
when I give it a Rev, the exhaust makes a fffffpifff sound similar to a trucks air brakes giving an impression that it's built up pressure while the throttle is applied then unblocking the pressure load after releasing the throttle as a delayed response to the engine acceleration,
I did give the vehicle a steam clean to the underbody of the engine.
And has no engine warning lamps illuminated.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
Great video mate. Have you seen many P0047 codes? Our 2016 2.8lt has started faulting and going into limp mode when towing our small caravan when the outside ambient temperature is over 38 degrees. (Turbo Charger boost controller circuit low fault)
Great video! Fixed my issue thus far, fingers crossed 🤞🏾
The bottom linkage on my actuator arm is snapped and not connected to anything. The other end doesn't seem to rotate at all.
I'm very new to this engine so not sure if I should be able to get it to rotate, or whether I can fix the arm or need a whole new turbo?
Is this the same Turbo that you made a video about "Turbo Noise" on Aug 31 2020?
What if it’s ticking while the engine is running? What would you say to do
We have the exact problem limped mode have done everything thing you have advised Order a new step motor
My brother, I have the same code on a diesel Land Cruiser, and the turbo left and right were changed, but the code is still there.
I m send my car to dealer. Still in the warranty. When code turn up on the highway. I was so nervous.
Yes i had the same problem and it was the solenoid motor that was stuck i opened it and cleaned it and the problem was gone
What are your thoughts on the soot around the linkage?
what can cause my hilux to overboost to 20 psi?
Bada bing Bada bang 🤙🏾
I got told to reset to fuel stepper motor to help with my 1251 on my 120 1KD and so far so good but has only been a few days now, will be trying this if it happens again
Got error code 1251 and 0046 this morning.
Will try to clean and lube as described.
Will let you know how I go.
How'd YOU GO?
Before changing the 600 stepper motor, loosen the top 8mm screw on back of turbo and save a lot of hassle it casues the veins to stick trust me i have owned 3
What 8mm bolt mate, mine sounds like a siren
What eight mm mate
What screw? How to register it?
Hi Anthony,
Great channel and have now subscribed. Quick question, how many kilometres do injectors last on average. Should they be replaced at a certain age or distance just to retain reliability? I have a 4JJ1 thats done 200 000kms and not showing any issues. Thanks.
Steve.
Seats & inj wear.
150-200k imo
Fourby4Diesel thanks Anthony. Appreciate your time.
I had the same problem and a mechanic I know said: "do nothing else, but use your manual shifter, drive with higher rpm for a while and the EGR (exchaust gas regulator or such) will clean it self. The problem is that when the engine is tuned on a level, where it is really reliable, the low rpm with automatic transmission will get the EGR flogged with carbon which mainly causes this P1251 error.
So: get rid of the error with OBDII reader and step on it.
PS: was about to get robbed by Toyota dealer repair shop, with offer of 4500€ for turbo change.
I had a p1251 show up on the weekend on the way to the snow. Showed engine and traction light. I turned the car off and turned back on. Didn’t work. Then used my scan gauge to clear the code and it went away. Then shut the car off and on again and hasn’t showed up since. Been 4 days
Hi, love your video, can I please ask if you have a workshop in Sydney? Do you do pre-purchase inspection? thanks a lot
Did u text me? It got buried i think. Please text me again tomorrow
@@Fourby4Diesel Yes, I was just wondering if you have a workshop in Sydney, I am about the buy a second hand Prado, and would like to have you to check it up. Many thanks, Talk soon.
Hey mate, I have one of theses at the shop at the moment with the same code! Turbo was making a sretching noise checked and found it was missing to blades on the exhaust side. Prior to replacing the turbo the bloke said it kept bringing up this code. After an hour of driving the code came back on again after replacing the turbo. Any ideas? I have a feeling that it could be a wiring issue?
I’m pretty sure you didn’t use a new genuine turbo and that leaves?’s
Big exhaust allowing over boost
Liqui-moly diesel decarb into turbo inlet cleared this all up.
Hi i have the same.problem i go over 2000rpm and i beginst tu stalk and go to limpmode and check engine light ..
But i ta wa a time that my hilux 2006 wanst getting any boost i go te inspect and i saw de bolt on the actuator loos so i thight it but the its move (the rear part of the actuator) its like it is spring load ? I dont know but when i put i all the way tru the car fander way it dosnt boost and pas the 2000 rpm no boost no stalking no check engine just a motor with no boost when i turn it al the way tru the engine it boost but then i pas the 2000 rpm and stalks en go to limp mode and check enchine i didnt scan it jet because i go en pres every plug and start the car the check engine is gone but as soon as go over 2500 or 3000 it dose it again what coult it be meby some not good connectors ot dos the springi thing on the back of the actuator that hase the arm conect to has e timing or a position i dont know i want to go with the turbos thant dont have the electric actuator but its gonna be oke?????? Because what can i put on the harnas tha use to go to the actuator or.leave it like that hellpp mee plss thank youuu
Mine has literally just started leaking out of that linkage on the turbo sounds like a boiling kettle
I had same p1251 intermittent the intercooler had a leak cause code
This is so weird... p1251 now is a intercooler leak... never heard of this one
Intercooler boost leak is causing turbo to work harder (overboost) to compensate for for the boost leak. The MAP sensor is after the intercooler, so any leaks in your intercooler will be seen by the ECU as a your turbo not working hard enough so it will adjust the veins to produce more boost and overwork. If you have boost leaks between your turbo and MAP sensor it is simply a matter of time before your turbo fails in one way or another.
Kept happening to me. Took out steinbauer hasn't happened since
What is steinbauer
@@wendelljones9590 According to Google, it's a tuning chip to get more power from the engine
How much vgt turbo sir
Sir there is no current on turbo motor what is common cause
Check turbo control
Sir the wiring of turbo motor isnt control of fuse ans relay
Hi, 2009 Prado with 325k on the clock here, stock except for the EGR blanking plate with 7mm hole added at around 300k.
It happened to me twice last week-end, 200km apart, while climbing serious hills at 130kph with cruise control: check engine lights (+ VSC etc) on the dashboard, limp mode. Stopped in emergency (quite nerve-wracking), turned the engine off and on to exit limp mode, read and cleared a P1251, then restarted.
From the second time on, I made sure to reduce speed on steep inclines, and did not have the issue for the remaining 600km of the trip.
I now performed a stepper motor test using techstream, set the position at different intervals between 40 and 100% and it worked fine: ua-cam.com/video/WogLpyU6weo/v-deo.html (you can hear the clicking noise change). No error code logged after the test.
Will lubricate the linkage and report back if it happens again...
Where is all the grease from the leaking drain, the vains stick and get bent he is right
Waffling on and on and on
Somebody also said babbling works
Great thx
