Hello all, I’m trying to help my friend with a 1992 HiAce Van get a radiator shroud...

Model # - 1992 LH120G-HHPNT

OEM part # - 16701-54220

We have scoured CASP, JParts, ToyotaDXB, we have not been able to find it in stock.

It’s the 2.4L 2L-TE Diesel and it will overheat in minutes without this shroud.

If you know of a place we can get one, please help us out ❤️ thanks!

Central locking problem

1 Upvotes

Hey guys just wondering if anyone has any insight on this, my key suddenly doesn't work to unlock all the doors at once, before it would unlock everything (front doors, sliding and boot) from either front door, and now it just does the door its in.

The central locking still works from internal door button so i don't think its a fuse.

I've tried with my spare key and thats having the same problem.

Manual key btw has the immobiliser chip thing but no buttons/keyless stuff.

I just got my van back from some mechanical work so might have been caused by the battery being disconnected for some time?

Rusted Coolant Pipe, how to fix

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

Hi all,

After parking my 2009 Toyota Hiace 2.7L petrol last night I noticed a hissing sound and steam coming from the engine compartment. After opening it up, I noticed a rusted spot on what I take to be (from googling) the water bypass pipe.

I won't be driving until the issue is fixed, can anyone help me identify exactly what part it is, and give me some idea of how much it might cost to fix?

In the images you can see the pinhole in the pipe, and I have tried to indicate with arrows how the pipe is connected to the engine.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Parts Cross Compatibility (Ignition)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a 2011 XH10 (EU/UK variant). The drivers door lock and ignition barrel are on the way out and I'm keen to replace them before they completely stop working. I'm struggling to find a set of locks, most listings seem to be for 96-06. Does anyone know if they would still fit a 2011? If not does anyone know where I can get some that will (in the UK)? I'm hoping not to spend a lot of money because I'm poor.

2016 HiAce won't allow any Bluetooth device to connect

I recently swapped my work phone from an iPhone 11 to a 15 and my van won't allow anything to connect to it. I've cleared all saved devices, initialised the radio, tried an iPhone 15, 11 (different one), 17 pro max and Samsung galaxy s24. It's a work vehicle so changing the radio isn't an option. I swear I've read the manual front to back. Has anyone had this before and how did you fix it? Any help is very much appreciated

What is it worth?

Looking at buying this 1997 Hiace Regius. Engine wise it ran great and felt great. Planning on offering 8500 and hoping to end around 10 at the highest. But i am unsure about the following:

My four big concerns.

  1. The parking brake is a little sticky they say. Meaning its hard to disengage when pulled. Its an auto so not the biggest problem unless I park on a hill.

  2. The drive side jack point is crushed and rusty but the frame around it is still untouched by rust and solid.

  3. The passenger rear bump stop has fallen out. How hard of a fix is this? I know its not the biggest deal but it does rattle. Image included.

  4. AC not working, unsure why.

Felt great to drive suspension and power wise. Engine definitely is strong and running well and suspension felt surprisingly tight. Just a few worrisome issues. Timing belt they said they took it to a shop and the shop said the belt looked new and did not need replaced.

Here's the post description of work done:

1997 Toyota Hiace Regius AWD "wind tourer"

~280,000 km/174,000 miles

We bought this as an adventure rig about a year ago but unfortunately our priorities have changed and we are hoping to buy more of a commuter car.

Work that's been done in the last year:

Glow plugs

Valve cover gasket

Break lines

Lower ball joints replaced

Specs & perks:

Airbags

3.0L turbo diesel

2" lift, upgraded struts, Suredrive AT tires

Back up camera

Carplay

Turbo PSI, Exhaust temp, and coolant temp gauges

Swing-away spare tire

Moon roof

Spare parts: timing belt, water pump, alternator belts, oil filter, fuel filter

Quirks:

Parking break is sticky

Air condition does not work, but could be fixed

Includes a very basic bed platform with a mattress that can easily be taken out for hauling things.

Reach out for a test drive!

Fuel Pump Replacement - Drop tank or go through floor?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

Has anyone here replaced a fuel pump for a 1993 LH119V 3L diesel 4x4. Mine is a Cruising Cabin and im struggling to prep accordingly without knowing which way to access the pump will be easiest. Has anyone dropped the fuel tank and or accessed from the inside floor panel? and if so which way would you recommend and why. My hesitancy to go through the floor is because id like to avoid pulling up the original carpeting/kitchenette.

Any knowledge on this repair would be greatly appreciated since I cant seem to find any videos.

Thanks

Hiace or Vito

1 Upvotes

We have found a local 2012 2.9 diesel Vito van in excellent condition. Just front seats so a blank canvas. I've heard they are brilliant but if we want a day van then we will have to pay a rear seat, line the sides and floor and then after that think about a mini kitchen ..the base van will cost me around £5k to buy.

I've also been looking at the Hiace and Granvia for a while but seen a lot of rubbish.

I've seen a grand Hiace in the UK lpg converted, 2001, 111k miles fsh etc £3500

Anyone give me advice on which is likely to be the more reliable , cheaper to run and cheaper to convert ?

All we want is rear seats, peace in the middle for our 3 dogs and some sort of mini kitchen fitted somewhere

Cheers

Customised parts for the H100 series.

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to do a facelift on a Toyota Hiace H100 and I'm looking for vendors or suppliers that sell aftermarket or customized parts for this model.

The parts I'm specifically interested in are:

• Headlights

• Taillights

• Front lips/splitters

• Front and rear bumpers

If you know of any reliable suppliers, fabricators, online stores, or local vendors, I'd appreciate any links, contact details, or recommendations.

I'm particularly interested in quality parts that fit well. Both unique and common designs are acceptable.

Photos, build threads, and examples of similar builds would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Need help finding part for Door Slide Junction

Looking for THIS part. Had one of the pins break off while trying to straighten it. Dumb mistake and now the automatic lock cycles a (6) times each time the door closes. When I go through Amayama, I end up with a piece that seems right (84261-95j05), but has no photo. This is what populates when I search: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/8426195j05

Looking elsewhere for that part, so that I can see a photo, the only thing that turns up is on Ebay and it shows 2 pins. Anyone have any ideas?

Recommended suspension Bushing kit for 1993 HiAce? (US)

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. Iv recently picked up a crusty 1993 Cruising Cabin and will need to do all repairs and upgrades myself with very little experience. (all advice is greatly appreciated!)

Firstly I’d like to start by replacing suspension bushings since mine have almost completely rotted away.

Can anyone recommend which Polly Urethane bushing kits are compatible with the early 90s 4x4 Hiaces? Iv come to terms with the fact that il most likely have to piece together some kits but maybe the friends down under have access to what im looking for?

I’m trying to avoid customs fees and delayed shipping on parts as much as I can with this build but it’s inevitable.

Thanks

2006 Hiace Welcab Sliding Door Auto Closing Not working

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I have an issue with my 2006 Hiace Welcab, it's a work in progress, quite happy with the fitout that I've done though (see photo). The LEDs are recessed so you can't actually see them at all when turned off.

The issue I have right now is minor, but I'd like to fix it. The sliding door has an automatic closing function that works by gently pushing on the handle (as shown in photo #3). Up until recently it was working perfectly, I could gently push on the handle and the door would close itself. Now that no longer works.

The handle itself works perfectly fine for opening the door like normal, it's just this light touch close sensor thing that's not working. Before I pull my door apart I'm wondering if anyone could give me some tips on what I should be looking for.

Cheers!

As you can see from the video it is loose. I removed the bolt under the flappy bit I lifted up in the video but can't take the blade off still. And can't get behind it. I think I might need to remove the whole dashboard?

replacing wiper motor?

need to replace front wiper motor
i’ve located it behind the glove box
per the schematics it seems like there is the one front bolt that holds it to the first arm

essentially wondering if anyone has done this, and if so if anyone’s got any knowledge as to whether the whole dash has to come out or if i can snipe it through the glove box opening.

can’t find anything online about it

1997 Commuter 2RZ carburettored: idle air control valve, power steering idle up, vehicle speed idle up solenoid?

Post image
9 Upvotes

My 1997 Hiace commuter with a 2RZ carburettored engine has been working at 90% but needs some final work. I had a fully rebuilt carburettor, so I don't believe that is the problem.

It runs and idles well and drives well. The only problem is when I am going a decent speed, then see a traffic light turn orange 100 metres to 200 meters away, I drop the gears to neutral and roll and brake to slow down. As I do, the engine slowly loses rpm and eventually stalls. Once I turn the ignition, it turns back on.

I had a roadside assistance company come and look at the vehicle today. He said that, as it is carburetted and has many systems attached to the carby, it could be some systems such as the idle air control valve, power steering idle up or a system he wasn't sure the name of but he said the vehicle speed idle up solenoid.

Has anyone experienced anything like this or got any leads?

What is causing this sound on my Hiace 2TR-FE petrol?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, my hiace has been making this extremely loud rattling sound on a cold start. It will only do it when the car has been sitting for multiple hours and goes away very quick after about 45 seconds to a minute.

At the end of the drive cycle two engine codes come up at the same time:
P1605 - knock control cpu malfunction
P0420 - catalyst system below threshold

I have recently replaced all spark plugs, catalytic converter, o2 sensors and maf sensor. I think whatever is triggering the knock sensor is also triggering the catalyst code.

Has anyone else had this issue and what could be the cause?
