I think most cars we get here would be eudm. But interestingly it's just called the 86 here which as fr as I know is JDM?

Ah crap.... well... Hope it makes out thisaways. As far as nomenclature I couldn't tell you...

It changes the spray pattern of the injectors to a wider spray for the fuel to atomise better with the air. There is a verrry slight ping[pre ignition] on some of the cars on gear change. You can hardly hear it. Yes, our fuel in SA is THAT cr@p.

Hey guys, got hold of a service manager at McCarthy Toyota Table View (021 521 5700)

They have the update and are happy to do it for anyone.

Apparently it helps with a *ping* on the change of the fuel injectors and slightly improves performance.

My car is in for its 15000 km service today at Market Toyota Culemborg, they didn't know about the update, but are looking at it for me. (Obviously don't like being behind McCarthy)

Will let you know either way if I get mine done.

i went to toyota culemborg just before lunch to ask them about it, and the service manager was adamant the rough idling is a gear box issue and that i should bring the car in for a service. They're going to take her apart while i;m overseas, which i'm not keen on.

I guess i'll give the Mccarthy guys a call...

Hi,
I phoned Imperial Toyota Kempton Park and looks like they can do update next week for me. Guy from service dept. told me to contact Jacques on Monday to arrange it ( 011-9703930 ). Will keep you updated :)

Hey Vladror, I cleared things up with Judd the service forman, after getting Gino to go and look through their bulletins. Gino found the right one and is going to download the software.

They have offered to do my car on Monday after they have had time to set it all up.

Not sure I want to volunteer to go first !!! ;-)

after reading through the various idling posts all over the forum, i think i'm going to get the software update first before letting them take the gearbox apart. It seems to be the only thing that has fixed the issue (so far) for most people.

haha, good timing on your service, he probably felt outnumbered :)
as i posted earlier, i wasn't too keen on his suggestion to 'fix' the gearbox.
i'll be out of the country for next 3 weeks from tomorrow, so happy for you to go first and share the experience :)

McCarthy Toyota Table View (021 521 5700) they might be able to help with what to ask, i just asked for the software update

I'm taking my car in tomorrow for air filter and TRD gear knob install. I will speak to my dealer's head technician and see if Barloworld know anything about this. If not, I'll hop over to Table View to do it some time next week.

I haven't noticed these issues though so it's possible it's already been done during PDI (finished last week Friday, so could have been in time) or maybe the automatic just wiggles around these issues already.
