Prado diesel engine failure concern

The affected models were built between June 2004 and October 2007, so you should be wary of buying a 2005 model. There shouldn’t be a problem if the car has been serviced correctly and the fuel-injector seals have been changed as they are supposed to be, so check for a service record. If there isn’t one, or you would like to be sure about the car you’re buying have a mechanic drop the sump and inspect the oil pickup for an accumulation of carbon.
