Looking a used Toyota Hilux 2.4 2L Engine for sale?

The Toyota Hilux is one of the most durable workhorses on the market today. The reason for this is simple; they are built to last! Another reason why people love these vehicles is because they're multi-purpose vehicles (MPV). If your heart desire was to hike into some amazing terrain or park up near a waterhole and set out with game spotting binoculars, no other vehicle does so much so well.

What are some of the most common problems with these machines?

Engine failure is not one of these. That's because they are designed to last for at least 10 years or, in some cases, even longer. There are numerous automakers out there that do not actually offer their cars in South Africa with guarantees that long! If you check with your local Toyota dealership, they will tell you that under normal operating conditions, a reputable mechanic can expect at least 200 000 kilometres from an original engine.

However, this does not mean it does not happen! When things go wrong with your vehicle - especially when it comes to the main power plant - it often spells financial ruin. Not many people have R50 000 or more in their pockets just lying around to fork over for a new engine or high-performance turbo.

If you're lucky, there's a way that you can save money and still get the job done as smoothly as possible! This is where EngineFinder.co.za comes in.

? Ensuring that you don't make too many enquiries at once;

? Evaluating your options carefully before making any final decisions.

What are some of the most common causes of engine failure? There are numerous factors why engines fail but these 3 are probably among the more common ones: OIl leaks - it's relatively easy for oil to be lost if not checked regularly. It can happen suddenly, so regular oil checks are essential! No matter how often you check your vehicle's oil levels, it's never enough. Sometimes you might lose quite a bit without knowing it until it's too late and the damage has already been done.

Clogged filters - since oil is used to lubricate moving parts in an engine, you will need to make sure that dirt does not mix with it. If the filter is clogged up, even for just a short period of time, this can cause major problems down the road because all that gunk has now made its way into every nook and cranny where it does not belong!



Failed water pump - since the engine is cooled by coolant (water) circulating around it, any malfunction of the pump will result in overheating. The most common causes for a failed water pump are: lack of proper maintenance, old age and clogging filters.
