• Toyota Hilux N70 / KUN26 – 1KD-FTV 3.0L 4-Cylinder Turbo Diesel | 2005–2010 (Pre-VSC Models)

✅ Engineered specifically for early-model N70s with 1KD engines (Pre-VSC 2005–2010)

📝 Note: Universal model catch can for Pre-VSC (2005–2010) models. For 2010+ models with VSC, please check alternative kits.

How It Works: Installed between the fuel tank and factory filter, the PreLine-Plus provides ultimate fuel protection with 100% water separation efficiency. The multi-stage in-cab alarm provides both visual and audible alerts when water is detected—no manual checking required.

Key Features:

• 100% water separation efficiency (150–300μm droplet size)
• 98% particle removal — keeps injectors clean
• Multi-stage in-cab alarm — visual and audible alerts if water is detected
• Spin-on filter design — easy maintenance and replacement
• No bypass system — only clean fuel reaches your engine
• Protects against corrosion and abrasive wear
• Prevents injector and pump damage

💡 Why This Matters: The 1KD-FTV common rail system in early N70 Hilux models is highly sensitive to water contamination. With repair costs exceeding $10,000, the PreLine-Plus with integrated water alarm provides superior protection and automatic alerts—keeping your engine safe from costly fuel system damage.

How It Works: The ProVent separates oil mist and blow-by gases before they enter your intake system. Clean intake equals long engine life—protecting your turbo, intercooler, and intake manifold from oil contamination and carbon build-up.

Key Features:

• 98% oil separation efficiency
• Prevents blow-by contamination
• Reduces soot and oil in intake
• Protects turbo and intercooler
• Regulates crankcase pressure
• Enhances engine reliability
• Minimizes oil consumption
• Less oil in your intercooler and intake
• Reduces exhaust smoke
• Improves emissions and driveability

💡 Why This Matters: Oil vapour causes carbon deposits that restrict airflow, foul sensors, and reduce power over time. The ProVent keeps your 1KD's intake system clean, protecting vital components and maintaining optimal performance for the long haul.

PreLine-Plus Pre-Filter:

• Water alarm will alert you automatically when water is detected
• Drain water when alarm sounds (simple drain procedure)
• Replace spin-on filter element per vehicle service schedule
• No manual checking required — alarm does the monitoring
• Fast filter changes thanks to spin-on design

ProVent Catch Can:

• Check oil level every 5,000–10,000 km
• Drain collected oil via drain tap when needed
• If using sump return line, oil automatically recirculates
• Replace filter element every 40,000 km (replacement elements available)

💡 Pro Tip: The integrated water alarm eliminates guesswork—when it sounds, simply drain the water in minutes. The spin-on filter design makes replacements quick and easy. Keep your 1KD protected with minimal maintenance effort.

Q: Will this void my Toyota warranty?

A: No. Aftermarket protection devices don't void warranty under Australian Consumer Law. These systems protect your engine without interfering with factory components.

Q: Does this fit all N70 Hilux models?

A: This kit is specifically designed for 2005–2010 Pre-VSC models with the 1KD-FTV 3.0L engine. For 2010+ models with VSC, different kits are recommended. If unsure about your model, please contact us.

Q: What does "Pre-VSC" mean?

A: VSC stands for Vehicle Stability Control. Pre-VSC models are the earlier N70 Hilux variants (2005–2010) before Toyota added VSC as standard equipment. This kit is engineered for these earlier models.

Q: Is the water alarm included or sold separately?

A: The multi-stage in-cab water alarm is included with the PreLine-Plus kit! It provides both visual and audible alerts when water is detected—no need to manually check the filter.

Q: How does the PreLine-Plus differ from the Fuel Manager?

A: The PreLine-Plus offers superior 100% water separation efficiency (vs 95%) and comes with an integrated water alarm system. It also features a convenient spin-on filter design for faster maintenance.

Q: How often do I need to drain water?

A: The water alarm will alert you automatically when water is detected. Simply drain when the alarm sounds—no scheduled checking required. Frequency depends on fuel quality and conditions.

Q: Can I install these systems myself?

A: If you're mechanically competent and comfortable working with fuel lines and basic wiring, yes. Most DIYers complete installation in 4-5 hours. Otherwise, any qualified mechanic can handle it. Detailed installation guides are included.

Q: Do I need both systems or can I buy them separately?

A: You can buy either system separately, but the combo kit offers better value and comprehensive protection. The PreLine-Plus protects your fuel system, while the ProVent protects your intake system—together they provide complete engine protection.

Q: Does the ProVent return oil to the sump automatically?

A: The kit includes components for an optional sump return line. You can configure it to either: (a) collect oil in the catch can for periodic draining, or (b) return clean oil back to the sump automatically. Your choice based on preference.

Q: Why is protection important for older 1KD engines?

A: Early 1KD-FTV engines in Pre-VSC Hilux models are just as sensitive to contamination as newer diesels. As these vehicles age, protection becomes even more critical. This system helps extend the life of your engine and avoid expensive repairs on a vehicle that may already have significant kilometers.

Q: Will this improve performance on my aging N70?

A: While not primarily designed for performance gains, keeping your fuel and intake systems clean can help maintain the performance your engine still has. Many owners report better throttle response and smoother running after installation.
