Is this similar to the VW scandal, or just a difference in peak output measurements? Anyway, URJ202 ftw.

They all do it, just have to follow a late model diesel at highway speeds and you can see them puff out black smoke every few minutes, they would all be cheating the system in some form or another, VW got caught, now they are investigating Toyota because they fudged some crash data, If they went and checked every manufacturer they would find discrepancies in all of them.

It’s worrying because the problem is across multiple plants and engines…. |

I have found it quite interesting that on Youtube etc, a reasonable number of Youtubers have been gushing all over the new 4 cylinder 70 series Landcruisers. It's as though they are on a mission to promote the new engines. Apologies, but I'd rather have the V8. Will be interesting to see how these Youtubers/Influencers deal with egg all over their faces over this little fiasco.

I’m sure that positive messaging doesn’t go unrewarded…. What we used to refer to as some annoying fanboi is probably getting paid to push the messaging as a grass roots type thing |

So if you are one of the unlucky ones(and there are a lot) you will have replaced the turbos and injectors all before reaching 150,000 klms. But if you drew the Toyota short straw, you will be replacing the motor because of a dusting issue because of 2nd rate air filter system. There must be a high number of these, as Toyota bought in 3 containers of pre paid V8 motors in 2022.

Is that the naturally aspirated one that takes about 30 seconds to reach 80 km/h...and will only go any faster downhill with a tailwind?

I think you will find the only people that care about emissions enough are the people trying to enforce it, the average Joe Blo just wants the equipment to get the job done to feed his family, emissions of his equipment is the last thing on his mind

They're currently in a full scale war on American utes, news articles hitting the mainstream media every 2 seconds drumming up Greens voter outrage about how dare people own such preposterous vehicles, and they're trying to take them from their owners cold, dead hands. You know how WA wants to become its own country? How about we make Melbourne its own country instead and kick it out of the federation |

It's almost as if Melbourne needs something tangible around it, a wall perhaps, of something strong, like steel. A wall of steel. And not for any virus, either. Here's the latest, can't even work out the motivation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR65U0Z--OU

Surely an error in journalism. Like, Toyota can't do wrong. They're the best.

Just have to look at it as you burn diesel it gives off whatever, how do they separate the whatever and make it clean out the back pipe, like where do the nasties go, do they just disappear?
