A warning to Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series turbo diesel owners. Toyota says you only need to replace the fuel filter when the warning light comes on — we shouldn't think that this will be part of a normal service. It's not even mentioned in the service schedules. It will stop the vehicle if not attended to within 300km-500km. This happened to me in the middle of nowhere with no phone reception. Before you start a big trip around Australia, spend $30 on a new fuel filter and carry a spare.

14 Dec 2015Toyota Australia spokesman Stephen Coughlan says a filter change is part of the 40,000km service. He also says the most likely cause of your problem is dirty fuel, which is common in remote areas, and agrees a spare filter is a good precaution for any vehicle tackling a long run in the Outback.
