hi mate

- check with both SCV;

- check with fuel filter;

- Battery changed -- why ??? only 2 years have gone. this is a signal of glow plugs relay inspection -- somethere an electricity lose is available.

Hi,

2008?

Your car is still under warranty, so ... have Toyota fix it.

And if Igor's suggestions don't help, I seem to remember a bad series of starter motors, all replaced under warranty.

Not sure what year those were though.

My car T3X 2.2 08 has had three batteries in 85000 mls. Starting when cold below 0 is always a problem Mr T always says the stop starting of taxi is the problem I dont, I think the car is the worst car I have had the misfortune to own and the starter motor and Battery system is poorly or cheaply designed. I have nothing good to say about this car other than only 9 months left to its replacement.

Hi, Igor and Thermal have given you good advice, my car has the same engine as yours and started first piston up today in -7c (and always does) after being stood for 4 days. My car was built in 2006 and has the original Battery so I think you really need to speak to Toyota to get your starting problem sorted before the warranty runs out as possible fixes and parts required could cost a small fortune. Do Toyota service the car on time everytime and have you tried another dealership ...... I certainly would!
