Toyota LC200 4.5 BiTurbo diesel and facelift: part to add to the kit

Why a diesel LC200 needs special attention

If you have a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 with the 4.5 BiTurbo diesel engine, during a facelift you need to separately check the plastic piece under the intercooler. It’s a small part compared to the whole kit, but if it’s not taken into account, the installer may stop the installation.

Standard facelift kits usually come with the plastic for the petrol version. For the 4.5 diesel, a different part is required. That’s why before buying a kit you must tell the manager: is the vehicle petrol or diesel.

Which part is needed for the diesel

For the LC200 4.5 BiTurbo you need to add plastic under the intercooler for 4.5 diesel. It’s best to include it in the order right away, rather than looking for it after the vehicle has already been taken apart at the service shop.

When it’s critical

Which kits this applies to

This nuance is relevant for all main facelift kits: 2016 Comfort, 2016 Executive, 2019 Executive and 2021 Executive.

Why it matters for the customer

Customers often think that if a kit is large and complete, it automatically includes everything. But the engine and vehicle trim can affect individual components. If you don’t specify дизель, the risk is installation delays, extra shipments, and stress at the service shop.

What to tell the manager before ordering

• Vehicle year.
• Engine: petrol or 4.5 BiTurbo diesel.
• Which kit you need: Comfort, 2016, 2019 or 2021 Executive.
• Whether the vehicle is after an accident.
• Whether you need additional headlights, tail lights, side steps, mirrors, or moldings.

Summary

If the LC200 is a 4.5 BiTurbo diesel, it’s best to add the plastic under the intercooler to your order right away. It’s cheaper and safer than stopping the installation process. Facelift kits and add-ons are in stock, delivery is free, and the комплект can be configured for a specific vehicle.
