Hopefully these "new" old HPFP work well for the folks who experience the chirp...and crossing my fingers that those that chirped are just a bad batch.

It's already been talked about... Those who don't have the problem usually don't come on here and complain about how theirs are working perfectly normal.

Ticking is normal. Chirp sounds like a loose belt on an old car. If you don't have that sound at warm idle - don't bother with this TSB.

The high-pitch chirping; however, is NOT.

500 (really a lower bound) cars out of a few thousand cars sold that made it to 1k miles as of yet - is still a very high incidence rate.

I do have the chirp and went to the dealer 2 weeks ago. was told it was normal and that mechanics had worked on a previous fr-s for "hours" and found nothing wrong. So, hopefully by taking this to them, they'll see that the chirp is not normal.
thanks for confirming!

Like I said, I don't know how a Toyota PN is structured. It could be that the rev and the version aren't shown in the PN. The TSB would then still rightly call out the same PN, but their MRP/inventory system would certainly call for the current revision. I would be loath to draw statistical conclusions from forum data. My build date is 4/14, took delivery 5/29. I was down for a month for the CEL/slip P0019 cam sprocket/ECU business. The only thing I haven't seen yet is the taillight moisture. Trust me, I'm last in line to apologize for Subaru or Toyota. By the way, the "80%" you refer to is 80% of those responding to a survey in the issues subforum specifically regarding the chirp (or the hirp as I like to call it). That's not exactly the place to build a statistical argument, for obvious reasons.

With full statistical backing I can tell you that if a survey of 10% of vehicles sold shows 80% incidence, then a true incidence is at least 8% which is already large.
So I really hope they revised the pump w/o changing the numbers. With TSB out they will have no choice but to repair'em again is this fix doesn't work, and then, after a few more tries, have to buy back those cars. Even MBA grads can calculate that it will cost dough, which is why I think they revised the pump. |

The ticking is normal DI sound, the cricket chirping is not normal. What they told you is standard practice when they don't know what is wrong with something. It makes most people go away and stay away. Dealers do not like performing warranty work, something about pennies on the dollar versus what they could charge a customer at normal rates. |

I'll be damned.
I've been very clear about where I figured things will go and this was not it. I just figured chirping was going to be one of the quirks of this car. Wow, just wow. Now here the 64 million dollar question... WHY was the TSB issued? Was it due to complaints or did they find something that actually presented a possible mechanical failure/issue? Interdasting. |
