    Rattling noise when letting off accelerator

    Thanks Tony. The heat shields weren't the culprit but the heat shield in the back, that I had added bigger washers to, I noticed today that it had just come off and was sitting on the exhaust. Took that out. I noticed that a couple of the threads have broken off (ones holding the nuts). The...

    Rattling noise when letting off accelerator

    Took this video today, may or may not be related. May not even be a problem but just something that's bugging me. It was very windy so it may not come through clearly but there's this slight humming which occurs at regular intervals. Can be heard better when the phone is closer to the engine...

    Rattling noise when letting off accelerator

    Anyone know what this rattle means? Happens when letting off accelerator and sometimes on idle (very slightly). no idea what it is so would appreciate some guidance. Happy to upload a longer video if the noise isn’t clear in this one.

    Here’s a picture of the mess. There are 2 other similar sized piles.

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    Thought I'd update this thread a little. First off the codes were a result of me turning the key when everything was unplugged. Once I cleared the codes and everything was plugged in, no more codes. :oops: So managed to get the intercooler off correctly (from the hose that connects to the...

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    Ah I see. Quite possible I forgot to plug something in. I'll take a look and report back after I've cleaned the EGR :) Thank you.

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    I thought I'd plug in Techstream and run a scan before I clean the EGR. I see the following codes: P0098 - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit High P0107 - Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometer Pressure Circuit Low Input Tony, could P0107 be related to rough idling? As you were saying the...

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    Thank you Tony. I might clean the EGR tomorrow or Sunday. I did order some new gaskets from Toyota so I already have everything I need to get the job done. The only thing left is getting a silicone spray.

    Finally took off the intercooler...

    So I finally spent a couple of hours taking off the intercooler just to see what was what down there (yes, a couple of hours. I am super new to working on cars). As I remove the intercooler and put it down, I see this: Those two bolts were missing and then I look down and they were just...

    120 Brake pipe replacement

    I forgot to mention that the cost included new brake fluid as well. So it’s all inclusive. I got it done at a Kwik Fix. May get a better deal if you bought the pipes and went to a local garage.

    120 Brake pipe replacement

    I replaced 2 brake pipes some 6 months ago. Parts and labor came at around 220 pounds (in Edinburgh).

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    With my head hanging in shame, took her to the local garage. Gave them the parts and asked them to help me out. They charged me an hour for the job but were done in 15 minutes...oh well, I couldn't do it, they could, happy to pay. Best of all, no more shrieking demons!! Here's the state of the...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Heh. What's annoying is I already got the new gasket and bolts and springs. Now I can't play with the toys I bought :( I am thinking of just scraping it off bit by bit and sanding the area down. Not sure that's smart but I have to get this thing off. If I am unsuccessful in getting it off...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Went at it again just now, still no luck. It is glued to it. You can see at the bottom where the flathead screw driver went. It's just chipping and now loosening at all. Sprayed a good amount of WD40 on it and leaving it like this overnight, without bolts adding more pressure. Hopefully that...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Got the bolts, springs and gasket today. Removed the old bolts and springs and saw the gasket is basically permanently glued to the pipe. Tried to take it off with a flathead screw driver, wouldn't budge. Seems like it has burned/rusted itself to the pipe. Admitted defeat, put the old bolts back...

    Another Injector replacement thread.

    Great work! 1100, sounds like a steal!

    Hello

    Hi Andy, My plans have changed a little. I put Forte Injector cleaner in and all of a sudden the injectors running much better. Will run through this batch of diesel and add another one of those cleaner in and see if 30 pounds worth of cleaner saves me 1000 pounds over the next couple of months...

    Thank you Andy. Appreciate it. I'll see if Toyota has them on eBay and order them right away. Looks like a straight forward job.

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Heh. It has been months of this. Every morning I start the car and wake up the whole neighborhood with this so I decided to call it shrieking demons...that's how annoyed I have been :) Now that I know for a fact its the exhaust pipe joint, I'm on ebay trying to find gaskets and bolts and springs...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Hi Andy, This morning confirmed that that is the exact problem I have along with the heat shield. Holding the heat shield up stopped the rattle, holding the exhaust pipe up where the joint is stopped the squeal. Would you mind listing the exact parts required to fix it and if there’s anything...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    I THINK I've found the culprit. As TonyCY11 said looks like a heat shield has come loose. I guess I should now go find some giant washers as those big ones aren't enough any longer... Either way, if this fixes the noise problem, I'm going to be a happy man.

    Thanks Chris. I think your description of a chirrup is more accurate.

    Heh, I guess mine is a bit more dramatic and goes for the shrieking effect. thanks guys. I’ll try that and report back :)

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Ok...very strange. Started up the car again from cold. It started doing the noise again but the noise goes away when I hold the tail pipe. Anyone know what that could be about? And why does the tail pipe sound like that?

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Thanks guys. I'm going to do a bit more investigative work before taking the car apart. Should have a bit more time this weekend as well.

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    So before starting on anything at all, I've been trying to find out exactly where the squeal is coming from. The noise is not coming from belt/pulleys (although I do think one of the pulleys is worn). It seems to be coming from around the engine, one of the gaskets seems to be worn. When you...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Funny enough I just found out about PartSouq 15 minutes before your post. Checked for my injectors there, out of stock. The local parts shop just gave me a quote of 290 per injector. I don't know if that is too expensive or the expected price. With that said, the fuel injection specialist had...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Hehe, that's the idea. But I'm having a pretty tough time getting a straight answer whether the injectors are available. A local parts shop said they could get the original ones for me next week potentially as their supplier was out of stock. I'm looking at 2 grand or so with all these little...

    Ha, yes we do use KMs in Argentina. I am currently in Scotland. I should change the flag, I thought it was the flag of the country you were from when picking it. :)

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Hi Tony, The part about the injectors is just mentioned because TonyCy11 was helping me find new injectors that I want to get changed anyway since the car has 196k miles on it. Not 100% certain the noise is from the injectors, it could be any number of things as far as the posts in this thread...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Hi jibberjabber, It has done 196200 miles so far. So well past due for a comprehensive service including injectors and other things mentioned in this post. It has been regularly serviced by Toyota up until 180k miles. After that local garage and now by me. I do not see a record with Toyota of...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Thank you Tony. I recently changed oil and filter but wasn't aware of this at all. I don't have blue smoke on startup but I am thinking before I even begin with the injectors I might drop the oil and check the oil pickup strainer. I am a novice at this but gotta start somewhere. I watched a...

    Hello

    Hi everyone, I'm Nico, originally from Argentina, currently living in Scotland. Bought my 2006 LC 120 Invincible a year ago. Recently starting doing my own oil and filter changes so thought, why stop there? Now the plans are to replace the injectors. Then I'll see what else to do. The idea...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Hi Tony, How are you? No the engine does not shake. It just makes that awful noise and I have no idea where its coming from. On that note, I got in touch with the place you recommended to buy injectors directly, they'll tell me tomorrow if they have them in stock. The specialist is charging...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    I didn’t do a long clip because it literally sounds like that until revs change to either over 900 or below 800. chirrup! That’s it. I’ve been so annoyed by it that the only way I could describe it was as demons shrieking. Heh. Thank you. It is a 2006, diesel. 3.0 1KD. So if it is one of the...

    Car sounds like shrieking demons

    Hi, I’m wondering if anyone can help me diagnose the problem. this is what the car sounds like whether morning or evening: it does not matter whether the engine is hot or cold. I’ve taken it to mechanics who say it’s the belt, then they check the belt and say it’s fine. another says it’s a...
