  1. 2003 efour hybrid whirring noise got louder from engine bay engine stopped and wouldn’t restart engine turns from crank pulley not seized selected gears and gearbox turns how does hybrid drive work and could a bearing have seized
  2. I've unplugged both camshaft and crankshaft sensors while engine is running and both times the engine stops good sign the sensors are working unplugging the oil valve solenoid brings up a PC fault code straight away good sign this is working as I said earlier I managed to get the oil valve filter out and a good clean gause filter in good condition once cleaned dirty shitty oil leaked out left to drain . Looking at the rocker assemblies lots of varnishing on rockers and camshaft wondering if the vvt on end of camshaft is gummed up and not working that's my next task if it's not the problem ECU ?.....
  3. The signal plate on my 2003 hybrid has 3 teeth on the plate not one do you know what voltage should be produced by the sensor when it passes the tooth also voltage sent to vvt oil valve during normal operation
  4. Over the course of a few months I've fixed hybrid batteries blown cell I've changed both o2 sensors had steering rack brushes changed had new battery fitted still management light illuminated showing p1346 vvt issues changed camshaft sensor checked vvt solenoid cleaned vvt filter (nightmare) still the dam management light illuminates once its reset and the engine runs it stays off once the ignition is switched off and the engine restarted 15- 20 seconds later the light illuminates again also changed engine oil and filter I'm in sunny Suffolk north east any one out there know of any local mechanics who could help
  5. lambda and o2 sensors have now been changed as said before crankshaft sensor changed have disconected battery left it off over night cleared any fault codes and started afresh wasnt long after starting orange engine ligth came on showing o2 and vvt camshaft sensor faults It went into garage to have new steering rack bushes fitted and although thje management light was on no fault codes were showing on their machine
  6. have also changed the camshaft sensor but it is still showing p1346 fault code any ideas
  7. just the front one advise from garage was to use only oem parts is this correct will cheap copies work as well as
  8. Like an idiot i found a cheap alphard 2.4l e-four hybrid with issues i thought i could fix engine management light was on as was red engine light with ! throught it found a fault code reader for £100 iCarsoft i905 Fault Code Reader Toyota / Lexus / Isuzu works a treat .Anyway the hybrid system didnt seem to charge and then had burning smell coming from under passanger seat , pulled the hybrid socket and disconnected the battery , went through YOUTUBE looking for hybrid battery repair didnt look to hard so off i went ,seats out centre console out seat bracket out finally got to hybrid batttery anyway to cut a long story short one of the 30 batteries had go bang and blown a small hole in itself and slightly damaged the one next to it no probs ordered two replacements no probs refitted it back together leaving seats and frame out just in case and gingerly turned the key everything to my surprise worked checked everything all good cheap fix for the first problem only £48. the next problem is MOT failure with high emissions ive changed o2 sensor fault code of P1346 vvt camshaft sensor, changed this as well, the orange engine management light comes on after a few minuites after start up and goes out after the ignition is switched off .Could there be an underlying problem with the camshaft or the wiring loom im running our of ideas , thinking of putting another cat in to help reduce the emissions just to get it throught the MOT my patience is wearing a bit thin its a lovely motor and all i want is it on the road hopefully someone out there may have some ideas
  9. i brought one for my2004 2.4l alphard hybrid e-four worked fine
  10. 2003 Toyota Alphard Hybrid ATH10 road tax cost?????
