I recently purchased a Toyota Hilux and I've noticed that the engine makes a ticking sound when it's running. Is this normal or should I be concerned? I've heard mixed opinions from friends and want to know the truth.
ReplyHi Samantha, congratulations on your new Toyota Hilux! The ticking sound you hear from the engine is most likely caused by the fuel injectors. This is considered normal and nothing to be worried about. However, if the sound becomes louder or you notice any other unusual noises, it's best to take your vehicle to a mechanic for a check-up. Otherwise, enjoy your new ride and happy driving!
Hey Samantha, it's great that you're proactive and seeking information about your new vehicle. As for the ticking sound, it's likely just the sound of the fuel injectors and not anything to worry about. Just make sure to keep up with regular maintenance and your Toyota Hilux should give you many years of reliable use. Enjoy!
Hi Samantha, I have a Toyota Hilux as well and also noticed the ticking sound. After doing some research, I found out that it's a common issue and nothing to be concerned about. It's always a good idea to get a second opinion though, so I recommend taking your truck to a Toyota dealership and having them check it out. Happy to help!
