    (Non) Charging Issue.. Hilux

    I had a similar issue on a VW Microbus: no charging but no light. Diagnosis was that a small stone got into the alternator and chewed up all the windings and the brushes. No feedback to the idiot light.

    Men - Wild at heart? Not so much anymore...

    The actual question is are there still Real Men? I have Millennial kids (born 1988, 1990 and 1995) so I have some perspective. My daughter grew up having rides on the tank of my IT490. We camped the Wild Coast when it was frigging WILD. My sons could tie and bait a hook by the time they could...

    Hope you had a pro do it. Most turbo shops in ZA wouldn't know a proper A/R graph if it slapped them.

    Electric fan won't help with the low speed performance IMHO. That's the character of the engine.

    High EGT is generally caused by diesel overfuelling and/or excessive boost. The 250D wasn't known for either. I've tweaked a Nissan TD27T and as long as you don't fiddle with the fuel pump, EGT should be within specs. Apart from that, EGT will cause more piston/turbo issues than overheating...

    Works VERY well on a diesel. Most NA diesel run quite cold anyway. In fact, my 2024 GWM Steed only has electric fans. No mechanical fans at all.
