LPG always kills old lamda sensors, get them swapped, 20 min job for a mechanic to get his hand in the engine bay and change. Had the same issue with the bank sensors and know of others.. usually just the one. But both can go. If you look at a live OBD reader you can check the live readings and compare with each other, will will see one will be out compared to the other. new sensors should be fine after that

They are great cars indeed. Perfectly practical, powerful, gracious and expensive on fuel lol. But a 1st class ride was never the cheapest.

@andyc Do you roughly know what gear the car is in at the time it judders? ie. count the gear changes? i am wondering if the car is in it's overdrive gear and it changed down to it's driving gear, these can be clunky. Also, you have tried this in to gear 2 as well? i used to get it when the car was rolling doing 30, come off the gas and then get a jolt while it changed in to an overdrive gear. this was some time ago so trying to remember the sensation, but never felt good.

Toyota Alphard Shaking
Alphard Club replied to sby148's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
Sorry Andy my reply was for the original poster as his shakes and not judders. Lack of Transmission oil will make the car shake I did respond to your thread earlier. -
Toyota Alphard Shaking
Alphard Club replied to sby148's topic in Toyota Alphard Club Forum (2002 - 2008)
have you checked the transmission oil? it may be low and not enough getting round the torque converter when hot. This will cause it to shake going up hill. -
Hi Andy, see you are local to me. I cannot see why driveshafts or CV's would make the judder I have owned a 10 series and used to get juddering from the transmission and particular times which was weird, never did work it out but never affected the vehicle as such, and yes that had all new transmission fluid and filter. I always used to wonder if the speedo conversion affected the way the transmission worked but never got to the bottom of it. I also think it is a common thing with 10 series as have seen complaints similar, but never many failures.

Jap Imported Mileage check
Alphard Club replied to MalikToyota's topic in Alphard & Vellfire Club Events
on the document do you have any other types of codes? As mine was GGH, it was only the luxury spec (one with airline style middle seats) -
Anyone think the chinese got their inspiration from the Alphard for the Maxus Mifa9? Even the door beep is the same. What do you think?

Thanks: IMPERIUM MOTORS https://www.instagram.com/imperiummotors_msk/ https://imperiummotors.ru/ https://t.me/ImperiumMotors_ltd https://wa.me/79855405050 2025 Toyota Alphard/Vellfire gain 2.5L PHEV variants – 306 PS; 73 km EV range; Executive Lounge; fr RM306k Just over a year after the global debut of the fourth-generation Alphard and Vellfire, Toyota has now announced that it will begin selling both MPVs with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain in Japan from January 31, 2025. According to Toyota, the PHEV version of the Alphard and Vellfire will have an electric-only range of 73 km following the WLTC standard (more accurate than NEDC but with less procedures as WLTP) Said PHEV powertrain has similarities to the series-parallel hybrid (HEV) system already on sale, including the use of an A25A-FXS 2.5 litre naturally-aspirated inline-four petrol engine and an E-CVT (electric continuously variable transmission). However, the PHEV’s engine has lower outputs of 177 PS (174 hp or 130 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 219 Nm of torque at 3,600 rpm. By comparison, the HEV’s engine serves up 190 PS (188 hp or 140 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 236 Nm from 4,300 to 4,500 rpm. Another difference is the battery capacity, which is listed at 51 Ah for the PHEV while the HEV’s unit is 5 Ah. The PHEV’s lithium-ion battery is mounted under the floor in the centre of the vehicle, which Toyota says reduces the centre of gravity by 35 mm compared to HEV models. The new PHEV models support both AC and DC charging, the latter capable of getting the battery to an 80% state of charge (presumably from 20%) in 38 minutes. In the footnotes, Toyota says rapid charging is with a charger capable of delivering an output of 50 kW or higher at a maximum current output of 125A. An external power supply delivering up to 1.5 kW (AC 100V) is also equipped as standard, and the vehicles also come with a vehicle-to-home (V2H) system. With a full battery charge and a full tank of gas, this system can provide enough electricity for about 5.5 days of use, assuming the average household consumes 10 kWh daily. While many aspects of the PHEV powertrain differ from the HEV, the electric motors are identical between the two. All Alphard and Vellfire PHEV models come with the brand’s E-Four system as standard, which features a 5NM front electric motor rated at 182 PS (180 hp or 134 kW) and 270 Nm, while the rear 4NM electric motor serves up 54 PS (54 hp or 40 kW) and 121 Nm.

Caravan towing

I know this is for landcruiser but same principle for all automatics. -
Caravan towing
Alphard Club replied to Phil Tivney's topic in Toyota Alphard (08-15) Technical Guides
The heat in the transmission comes from driving in the overdrive gears where the torque converter is not locked in. When towing with an automatic you need to select something like 4th gear or S and do not let the vehicle go in to 5th or higher. avoid the top cruising gears, these are weak gears and do not use the torque converter to assist. some autos have 6 or even 8 gears and need to find the non-overdrive gears and stick to it which helps fuel economy (believe it or not) and prevent heat in the transmission where it cooks the oil. You will be suprised how quickly it will heat up on fats roads going uphill when using the wrong gear. -
