Engine knocking. I just bought a 1992 Toyota landcrusier Turbo Diesel Prado SX and it just started knocking on the Right side of the engine only on low RPM. When I am going over 50-60 kmph it stops. But it Just started knocking during idling. This is a rhythmic knock ...not a tap or slap. Anyone got an idea to help guide me when I take to the shop?

Diesel knock at low RPM and Idle is usually an injector that has a leaky seat or has a needle that has jammed up. The knock can normally be heard quite clearly as being at the top of the motor, run the motor at idle and loosen the injector pipes one at a time if the knock disappears on one pull that injector and have it checked.
If one injector is faulty the others may soon go, better to have them all done at the same time.

Hi,my 92 prado started making a knocking sound recently,we couldn't pin it down to one spot in the engine.
The knocking was constant at low revs and then disapeared.
Turned out to be the tourque converter knob had bust of and eventually destroyed the fly wheel and the transmission pump.
Definatley check under top cover and also drop off the sump to check for loose nuts etc.
hope this helps.

Please make sure earth/ground points are tight and free of dirt and corrosion. especially knowing this is off road car. fuses are clean. charge relay is working correctly, main fuse CONNECTIONS are good. the fact that it happens when you move , means most likely a loose connection.

It sounds like the turbo has gone out. That will make a diesel sluggish and burn oil out the turbo. replace the turbo and it should be fine

the japanese have only just started to make a decent diesel engine.so its no wonder your old toyota is gutless,even with a turbo.(check out its bhp/torque figures) only option is check out a website called "diesel tuning.co.uk",(or others),and fit a small black box that can give you an uplift in power......

Toyota Landcruiser 4.2lt diesel OR 3lt turbo diesel prado

The cruiser as long as its the turbo diesel, direct injection (4.2td), be aware though that this model has inherent "sag" with the IFS suspension, so if buying secondhand then upgrade the torsion bars(and factor this into your buying price).
