This is a specialised repair service for the electronic turbo actuator used on the Toyota Hiace with the 1KD engine, and other Toyota models using the same actuator design.

  • Rattling or clicking from actuator assembly

What Our Service Includes:

  • Testing and repair of the positional (TPS) sensor

  • Cleaning and lubrication of internal gear drive
