Hey everyone,
I'm Steve, live on the northside of Brisbane and I currently have a 2000 ST 3L Turbo Diesel Auto Wagon.
I found this site/forum whilst surfing about looking up info about Patrols.
I'm having some issues with a serious lack of power when going up hills, blowing some black smoke and fuel economy isn't the best.
Recently had a basic service done. (oil, fuel and air cleaner, new oil) This gave it a bit more oomph for a little while but became sluggish again not long after. Also if I put an injector cleaner in such as Diesel Power, same deal...bit more oomph for a bit but then sluggish again not long after.
Have been told that changing the oil to 5W30 should fix the problem but have been laughed at from other people saying that won't fix it at all.
I have been told by a mate of mine who owns a spare parts shop to give the Three Bond Diesel De Coke spray a go.
Any ideas, thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Steve
