I own a Toyota Townace 1989 F reg 2.0 Turbo Diesel.
My question is where can I obtain a manual for the engine, and also some sort of handbook for the vehicle in general.
Sorry if this queston has already been asked but there seems to be quite a few references to various manuals on this site and just wondered if there was a recommended one.

A full technical manual doesn't exist unless you can translate Russian. A Toyota engine manual can be obtained by ordering from a dealer part# RM025E at about £8.50.

I endorse Ian's recommendation. The engine manual which he mentions is excellent and gives all sorts of information re engine overhaul, alternator/charging system, fuel system, cooling system etc. There is an owners handbook which gives basic information re switches, 4 WD operation etc but it is only basic and costs around £20. It is available from NorthwestImports and others but, in my opinion, not worth the money. - (#1394) John Davis, 7 Nov 01
Can any one recommend a manual for my 1989 (F) Toyota townace 2.0 turbo diesel.Also I could do with laying my hands on a handbook for the townace so that I can find out what all these buttons and lights mean.
Thanks

I understand you are trying to get a manual translated from Russian. Could you put me down for a copy please? - (#2681) Louise Groves, 8 Apr 02
A great manual for the TownAce engine is under Toyota Number RM025E. A cost of approx £6 from the main dealer and they apid the postage and sent it out.

I heard that in Japan all turbo charged diesels are to be taken off the road once they are over 10 years old and I think but im not sure but the last Townaces were made in 95 so-they only have 3 years left . we could end up being flooded with them here .. which is not bad news in my opinion . i wonder if it would be a good idea to get hold of a Jap workshop manual as well because there is a higher chance of getting it translated . we have a pioneer factory close to in Yorks and the staff are often Japaneese (technically minded Japaneeese at that! )- I dont see any Russian factories about

Well if you find one Penni, be sure to let the rest of us know. We've only been searching for the past 3-4 years.

Ron, there is no manual as such and, anyway, who needs a manual when this splendid forum is available. However, Toyota publish one of the best engine repair manuals (which takes in engine/fuel systems/cooling system/lube system/starter & charging etc with a wealth of settings, torque values etc) It's part No is RMO25E and it is available from local Toyota dealers at less than a tenner. (No VAT on books)

what's with the SPARE manuals, guys- one for the garage, one for the bathrooom (er, or wherever...)
- (#6859) david miller, 23 Jan 03
David,
In my case, it was the "scare" a short while ago that the manual was going out of print, but, I suppose, you can't have too much of a good thing !
- (#6860) John Davis, 23 Jan 03

Following links from previous post found this supplier
http://www.car-handbooks.com/
which lists town and liteace handbooks
I'm pretty much resigned to never finding one for my hiace supercustom - If the day ever arrives I probably wont need it anymore as I'm learning things I hoped I'd never have to learn! - in fact BOK is the only reason I still have it (which I am grateful for)

Hi
I’m from South Africa and the 2ct engines are now getting popular here. The problem is that we can’t get any technical info on these engines here and there are no dealers that can give us the RMO25E manual. I blew my engines turbo and I think that the rings have also collapsed after overheating, I would like to know what the compression must be for these engines and what the torque settings are for the bearings big ends and mains as well as the correct torque for the cylinder head? I also have one other request if there is not maybe any one on this forum that has got the RMO25E on PDF format or that can E-mail me any info on these engines.
Thanks.

where can i get a manual for toyota townace or details of spec. for it as reading some stories on here do the garages know these cars? My car when i sffer loss of speed on a slope and i try to put my foot down i do get a noise don't know if it does come from the turbo. I did get the auto gear box checked he said the oil had never been changed for years but no evidence of problems just dirty. i have had the car about 15mths. I do get a service done on it regular but no suggestion of anything only engine oil change. is there any other things i should change regular? is the turbo problems if that what it is expensive?

There is an engine manual, but I guess you are after a hand book (have a look in AceAnswers, Dave Mason has started to put one together and making a good job of it). In fact have a look through most of AceAnswers. You mention using oil, perhaps it was a cheap brand that was used? Loss of power, have you changed the air filter, fuel filter? May help and certainly should be done.
Turbo noise will be a whistle/whine that may well be high pitched, on power up and maybe power down. should not be overly noisy all the time.
Lots on turbo in AceAnswers.

Try Dave Coombs at Wight Motors (Isle of Wight) for Toyota manuals etc. via post
Tel
01983-405565
No fuss, quick, honest service - my local Toyota dealer wasted months of my time telling me nothing was available that could be related to my hiace -
Once I contacted Dave - no such problems
