Reliability And Workability
A used car buyer should know that in diesel and petrol based variants, there are different tech involved to ensure reliability and workability with quality such as Toyota units from the particular D-CAT family are one of the sensations of today's diesel engines because they are characterized by a very high work culture. The plus is also excellent dynamics and acceleration. The use of a maintenance-free timing chain, designed for the entire life of the engine, reduces maintenance costs. You just have to remember that the durability of the chain depends on the quality of the engine oil and its level. Please note, It is also worth changing the air filter and fuel filter as often as possible.
A Precise Cost-Benefit Overview
The D-CAT engines use special injectors that are expensive, as well. In lots of cases, injectors cannot be regenerated due to the lack of parts. Injectors are very sensitive to the quality of refueled fuel, so you always need to refuel at certain stations and replace the fuel filter as often as possible. D-CAT engines also suffered a serious disadvantage - burning of the gasket under the head. The failure was visible after a black coating on the connection between the engine block and the head. In addition, there were standard symptoms - the escape of the refrigerant fluid and its mixing with the engine oil which leads to engine seizure, as well as the characteristic white smoke from the exhaust pipe. Mechanics claim that the reason for damage to the gasket under the head in the D-CAT is overloading the engine, for example, frequent driving at very high speed. Buying a modern diesel car is always at high risk and you have to take into account a number of additional expenses. Unfortunately, sometimes they can match or exceed the amount of the car purchase. However, that cost-benefit type of situation can be addressed when you prefer used Toyota land cruiser icon price or any other type of used vehicle.
Drive Outside the City
Almost every particle filter clogs up during continuous city driving. Toyota in D-CAT chose a very complicated solution; that is the another injector, whose task is to supply fuel directly to the catalyst, which allows to burn off the soot deposited in it. This does not mean that the D-CAT will not get clogged during a continuous urban driving, accelerating from low revs or tolerating damaged injectors. In the same way as other cars with DPF and FAP, it requires frequent driving at high speed outside the city. However, it is too durable. Obviously, due to the very complicated construction, the exchange is very expensive. Fortunately, companies dealing in the professional regeneration of DPF filters also undertake DPNR cleaning, although it is more expensive than cleaning a standard DPF.
