I just replaced all 3 of my coolant sensors and am in the process of adding a aftermarket temperature gauge on my 1995 Hiace KZH120G I appreciate your videos
Do you mind helping me out in finding these 3 sensors? I think I know where one of them is (close to the rad cap) but don't know where the other ones are
Thanks! The HiAce has always had an engine overheating reputation. I am currently rebuilding a 1999 LH112 that has quite some issues. Albeit I want to repair the coolant level sensor as well!
@@mrbunga989 no there's stuff out there for the normal HiAce which is basically a different car entirely. The standard workhorse van. Even if you go to Toyota Japan's historical site for old models these don't exist. It's as if Toyota removed all evidence they made these.
Yep two radiators. Both flushed same time, auxiliary is connected to the main. I did mine when I first got it as cheap insurance. Then I'll get it done every timing belt change.
We had overheating problems with our super custom van the bottom radiator was completely blocked took them out and took it to the radiator shop to pull it apart and flush it properly fix the problem now we can tow trailers a big hills and temperature seems normal
I’ve got a 13psi cap on my 97 Hiace diesel 2.8. It sounds like I should have a 16psi one instead, is this correct? All the auto shops say the 13 is the one but they’ve never got much idea
@@nathansharma87 is it 2 rubber hoses about 20cm long connected to some solid metal ones via hose clamps? There's solid metal pipe on each end of the rubber. The furthest back part goes up into the side of the van.
Trevor from Cairns i have a Toyota Hiace Cruising Cabin 3.0D EFI turbo full time 4 W D Custom import could you answer 2 questions for me please is it best to drive with the OD of all the time or just use it at about 70.80 kls and what fuel consumption on average should i expect with the van running well if you can help it would be fantastic sorry 1 other the little red button on the gear select case what does it do cheers watch you all the time
Hi Trev Overdrive is fine for normal driving. The only time you'd want to switch it off is long steep hills or if you need more than 40% throttle for longer than 30 seconds. For fast hills like 100kph if you feel the van labouring and it's working too hard and your struggling to maintain speed, drop back to 80, turn overdrive off and climb it in 3rd gear with the torque converter locked up (will lock automatically with od off and ECT power off). Average fuel consumption is 14l per 100. Red button on gear selector panel is emergency shift override. You know how you have to push the brake pedal in to change gear from park? Well if that solenoid ever fails you can push the red button and simultaneously shift the gear lever out of park.
@@nathansharma87 Yes and the red button is for if you need to unlock the shifter out of park so that you can push the van around if you had the battery disconnected or flat.
No-one mentioned how damn clean this man's vintage truck engine is. Minty.
Awesome data dump. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Nice looking engine. That is really clean.

Do you have part numbers for those coolant sensors
Where did you purchase all of the sensors from?
Awesome dude. Do you know where I can find the bleeder valve for the cooling system ?

Great tips!
You could eat uni off of that powerplant
Robust. You stole that one.
Thanks for the info!
Do you have a parts number for the sensor and cap?
Good ol' Kiwi accent . . . nice!
Hey Nate,
Where did you buy the gauge water temp sensor?
@@barrybetha660 bursons. But they're just 1KZTE sensors from Triden. Any retailer has them.
Great video!
Do these models Hiace's have the extra radiator mounted up under the front.
Yes one flat one standing up
@@nathansharma87 Ok well they should be pretty good with that much fluid.
I got 1999 Toyota hiace turbo diesel imported
Automatic
3 lt kz H106
Need the throttle sensor
Yes they do and they are very expensive
I just ordered one that smaller than one damaged
With one radiator you must be very careful gets hot
Do you have wiring diagram?

Does your model have 2 radiators? If so, when you do a flush do you have to do both at the same time? Don't know much about the system to be honest.
Yep two radiators. Both flushed same time, auxiliary is connected to the main.

Hi
Where can I find the throttle position sensor?
Maybe the cleanest Hiace engine I've seen.
I’ve got a 13psi cap on my 97 Hiace diesel 2.8. It sounds like I should have a 16psi one instead, is this correct? All the auto shops say the 13 is the one but they’ve never got much idea
Look up the diagram and part number on Amayama or megazip website
@@nathansharma87 thank you sir!!
Try Redline water wetter
Where are the 2 heater hoses under on the drivers side that make for easy flushing?
Under the car...behind the drivers side door.
@@nathansharma87 is it 2 rubber hoses about 20cm long connected to some solid metal ones via hose clamps?
There's solid metal pipe on each end of the rubber. The furthest back part goes up into the side of the van.
