P1238 INJECTION VALVE on '07 2.0 D4D

March 8, 2016, 1:42 pm

Hi, hoping someone can help...

I've recently (within last 2 months) noticed that my 56 plate 2007 Auris 2.0 D4D (1AD-FTV) has become a little louder at idle - the engine seems to 'tap' over a little louder than usual.  I thought that this was just due to the colder winter conditions and the car getting a bit older (56,000miles) - plus the fact that I've never properly serviced the car since 30kmiles.

I've also noticed that the car (most noticeably upon starting but also during general driving) is emitting blackish smoke rather than the normal exhaust fumes.  Additionally, the car was struggling to start more than usual. 

Otherwise, there's no noticeable difference in driving - perhaps a slight difference in the idling (it sits happily at 900rpm but not quite as 'steady' as usual)

Within the last month the blackish smoke was getting to me so I:

1. Removed/cleaned the EGR valve - caked in carbon but symptoms persist

2. Changed engine oil, filter, air filter, fuel filter - symptoms persist

3. Replaced battery, spark plugs - symptoms persist (though starting improved but not perfect)

4. Added Redex/Wyne's diesel cleaner to fuel - symptoms persist

Today, the engine management light appeared on the dash with 'CHECK ENGINE' displayed.  Rather than ignore I called the RAC (free VAG check!) and they confirmed (as attached pic shows) that the engine is reporting " P1238 Injection Valve " error.  RAC guy also thought that the tapping on idle and revving was excessively loud and he suggested that the 2nd injector was blocked or not spraying properly.  He recommended googling further and perhaps trying Forte Advanced Formula Diesel Treatment as a last shot before taking to dealer or diesel specialist. 

Questions:

1.  Has anyone else experienced this code and what was the outcome?

2. Is there anything else worth trying before taking to garage? - is the Forte diesel treatment likely to unblock the injector?

3.  Is it possible to 'clean' or 'unblock' an injector?  I have a diesel injector specialist garage not too far away (Argyle Diesel Electrics in East Kilbride) so i'm likely to take it there but would like to know in advance what is the likely course of action - and the typical cost of cleaning/unblocking/resetting a faulty injector.

4. How much is it (ballpark) to replace an injector if faulty?

5. Where are the injectors located and is it possible to DIY?

Any other comments, hints, tips or suggestions gratefully appreciated...

thank you.

Hi all...

Just a quick question that one of you will probably know..

I turned on ignition in my Auris today and I heard for the first time a kind of whistling noise...

Opened bonnet and it was quite loud, I have added a file which I did a 10 second recording of the noise.

Can anyone tell me what this is as I have had the car for over 12 months now and have never heard this before..

Thanks for taking the time to read this post...

Car goes forward when in Neutral and Reverse mode by default?

Hi all,

Whenever I put my car in Neutral or Reverse it goes forward by default.


I have to hit the break pedal in Neutral to stop it.
And I have to press the accelerator a little to make it go in reverse in the Reverse mode.

It was on a slope mind you so don't know if this happens to you guys.

It is an automatic Toyota Auris VVT-i model.

Is this supposed to happen with Toyota Auris cars? Do you get the same thing?

Engine is not always stopping when it should, been on long run, everything charged and nothing demanding power or heat.

And when pull away slowly the engine starts below the half power mark when it never did this before.

 

Seems ok after a rest, just been serviced (40k) was doing it sometimes before service also.

Auris 1.4D4d Idle Revs (2011) Engine Pinking Problem.

Hi again...

I have checked the idle revs on my car and they are at about 770 when the car is warm.

However there is a pinking sound and slight judder in the car when the revs are at this speed.

If I press the accelerator slightly to 800 revs then the pinking and juddering stops...

Does the car have to be adjusted on a computer at a Toyota garage or is there any way of doing it manually..

Thanks and look forward to any help that I receive...

Connected (Live) Services Renewal

I have a 2014 Auris Exel Hybrid Touring Sports, with sat nav touch and go system. My connected services (Toyota real time traffic, tom tom places etc) expired at end of January 2016. I'm currently using map 4.3.0. I cannot work out how to renew my live services. I really like the live traffic updates. I've checked via my Toyota account where I can see they are expired in my previous purchases section but no obvious means to renew. I've checked the e store and again I can't see anything obvious there to renew or replace. I'm missing something really obvious but what?. I don't want to upgrade the map yet  to 4.5.0 as I was going to wait on the next release as I think 4.5.0 has been around a while now. Any help would be appreciated.

Whistling noise at certain speeds and certain times

I drove to london on the weekend and I noticed a whistling noise between 50-70mph, it was not persistent it came and went sometimes at a50 sometimes at a higher speed but never when below those speeds or say on a normal road and never when idle.

Is this some sort of tyre issue or poor aerodynamics. I just drove to leeds and there was no noise so not sure whether its due to the road surface. I did have a new tyre put in (had a nail in the passenger front left.

The car drives fine, there is no noise from the transmission or breaks or clutch.

Tuning Chip Review From Germany

Hi all,

I have recently purchased a "Tuning Box" from a company in Germany - I wont disclose which at this stage as I want to test it first so I know whether to rate or slate them.

The company claims an increase from 126bhp to 165bhp, and 300nm to 383nm or torque, this is on the pre-facelift 2.0 D4D.

Personally I have found vast improvements with the drive-ability of a diesel engined car after a piggy back box has been fitted, for example my previous Jeep Cherokee.

I'll let you all know how it goes when it arrives.

As always kind Regards,

Chris

Hi all

Can anybody tell me how to fold mirrors in Toyota Auris 2008?

I see no switch for it in the car and I don't think they fold manually without breaking them.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Seems like a silly functionally to have been dropped by Toyota.

Hi

I have been problems with my EGR valve (2.2d engine) every 3 months. I have cleaned the valve to make it look like a brand new one, but the problem keeps coming back as a error message on the dashboard and the engine goes on limp mode with carbon being built inside EGR valve. I drive the car on the motorway everyday ( 15 miles ) and been using shell v power. I have also used BG244 diesel cleaner. Car has only done 49000 miles. 

Please can someone help. 

Many thanks

Hi

What kind of tyre pressure you have use on your Auris Hybrid? Tyre size 225/45/17.

According to the manual, the pressure should be 2.3 bar (on high speed drive 2.6 bar). If you use higher pressure, you can achieve better fuel economy...

Hybrid too risky for a budget driver?

March 30, 2016, 3:11 am

Hi all,

I am looking to get a “new to me” car to replace my aging and no longer trust worthy car.

I have a budget of approx. £8000 tops and have basically narrowed my choice down to a Skoda Octavia or an Auris Hybrid.

The reason for changing my car is that I previously had a car that I was tinkering with too often, so basically need something that is ultra-reliable and will basically just need servicing and fuel for the next 5 years.

My father has a skoda superb that I really like and so I have been swayed to the Octavia but whilst searching have found a few Auris hybrids on budget, and I have to say these things excite me, I love technology and they seem so alternative and cool… and yes I am a bit weird!

I sit in a lot of traffic and doing so with the engine off and crawling in ev mode really appeal but I am very concerned about the life of these cars and worry about taking to a regular joe mechanic for servicing etc.

I know that this thread is a bit rambling but I’m finding it difficult to get any reliable information on how hybrids work in the real world.

I know it’s a new technology but most people seem to be under warranty still, if I am going to buy a 2010 car I need it to last for the next 5 years at least so am looking at a car that will see me to 2020 without any big bills, so it’ll be out of warranty and I know nothing about the lifetime of the battery tech (propulsion batteries not the 12v)

I worry that there are things in the hybrid engine that will be catastrophically expensive to repair and loads of dealer only servicing things that will negate any fuel savings that could be made.

I need an honest opinion, with a tight running budget, whether I would be better off with getting a regular diesel car or risking the hybrid

Thank you

new to the forum so admins please feel free to move this topic if there’s a better place for my questions.

57 Auris T180 Grumbling noise

Alright,

I've owned a Auris T180 since August 2014 and had no issues as yet but my auxiliary belt on the engine has started to squeak which disappears as soon as I squirt a bit of water on to it, however I still have a grumbling noise, has anyone else had this, not sure if I've just notice it since the belt started squeaking and it's just the noise of the engine. I'll take a vid and try and upload it. Car has only got 62000 on and has never had any issues yet. 

Cheers.

Mudflaps, what a surprise

We've had the Auris Touring Sport (1.6 VVT Icon Plus) for a whole four weeks now, and we're just getting everything set up the way we like it. But one of the things we didn't like, after our old VW Passat estate, was the amount of dirt and stones that were getting pinged up against the floorpan - and  against the 'scooped' sill and lower door edge. Maybe it's just down to our living in a rural area, but the car was making quite a racket down in the country lanes. We were starting to wonder if we'd done the wrong thing?

But my goodness, what a difference a £33 set of mudflaps have made. It's not just that the floorpan isn't getting battered any more. You're welcome to say I'm imagining this, but the whole car also seems quieter and more 'composed' in the way it rides. There seems to be less wind noise around the front door seals too - but hey, I guess maybe that's the power of aerodynamics for you? Money well spent, anyway.
