Could be a timing chain. We've done a few now. There is a field fix on them. Huge job. Get it looked at when you get the next service done, or before if you're worried.

I’ll disagree with Cambo here slightly and say just fit a catch can. I fitted a Provent on mine when new and I assume the EGR is clean as. We did this to about 50 Hilux 1KD-FTVs in WA at the mine after they a bunch developed symptoms of bunged up EGR. Man the restriction was amazing, the gunk was just the worst.

After the Provents were fitted the 3 vehicles with the highest hours since fitment were selected for inspection. (They spend most of the day idling and tootling about, low kms but constantly running.) Clean as a whistle. Really very good system.

I have heard of a few EGR blanking problems but thats only hearsay, nothing first hand.

However, if your vehicle hasn’t had a can before and no record of the EGR being stripped, I’d get it cleaned out then fit the can, or strip it and blank it. Up to you.

If you go the catch can route, know that I’ve never changed the filter (silly expensive). I wrap them in bog paper to pull most of the oil out, then clean them in petrol, air dry them, go again. Still fine after 100,000km.

Interesting

EGR is a totally different system to a catch can there @Flyblown.

A catch can helps stop oily residue getting into the intake system. Is a good idea though to put 1 on a turbo diesel.
EGR is a emission control system where exhaust gas is recirculated into the intake.

To remove the EGR on a common rail engine it requires a specialist to do as the ECU needs to be altered. Its not a diy thing where you can simply block something off. If its not done properly it will fuck shit up.

EGR blanking on an older diesel like a 1KZ Surf or Prado is easy and recommended to help reduce the risk of cracking the heads

Eh? I thought the whole point of an oil catch can was to remove the oil from the recirculated crankcase vent, which would otherwise mix with the hot EGR gases and bake the oil into hard crusty deposits around the EGR port and the intake manifolds?

Basically the oil residue from the breather system gets into the intake via the breather hose from the rocker cover to the intake hose, which is normally pre turbo. It does cause oily carbon deposits in the intake as well.

EGR is emission control for the EURO5/6 rules. PITA and fucks the intake up with horrible crap as you can imagine. Its a separate system to the engine breather. All ends up in the intake though.

Was impossible to remove on CR diesels until recently with some smart cookie coming up with ways to do it.

I spose we can give the aussies credit for the term ute. Them Remuera tractors are a laugh though, I see so many flash harries driving around in most likely ticked up gin palace utes with all the 'serious' 4wd accessories attached. clean as the day they drove off the lot, and fancy alloy wheels.... Makes me laugh, I cant wait for the day when I get to tow some clown out with my van (then pretend im not stuck when it happens to me)

Noticed a black Ranger Raptor in front of me in town today, looked a bit overly pimped out I thought. Sadly I wonder what % will actually be used off road to anywhere near their potential. Am picking most will just be impressing milfs on the school run

the
that's all those new rangers are good for take em off road give em shit youll end up blowing an engine, the D maxs blow half shafts and rear diffs a lot. better off buying of tech 4wd with out the bells and whistles, just get a v8 land cruiser. that said I own a 08 ranger at 240k with egr removed and inlet cleaned it goes great
