4Ja1 Details:
Likely a 2.5L Diesel, common in earlier models. Exact HP/Torque varies by tune.
4Jh1-Tc Details:
Likely a 3.0L Common Rail Turbo Diesel, known for improved power and torque over the 4JA1. Exact HP/Torque varies.
6Ve1 Details:
Likely a 3.5L V6 Petrol engine. Exact HP/Torque varies.
C24Se Details:
Likely a 2.4L Petrol engine. Exact HP/Torque varies.
Diesel Systems:
Includes injection pump, injectors, high-pressure fuel lines, glow plug system (for diesel variants).
Petrol Systems:
Includes fuel pump, injectors, ignition system (spark plugs, coils).
Components:
Radiator, water pump, thermostat, cooling fan, hoses, coolant specifications.
Components:
Oil pump, oil filter, oil pan, oil specifications and capacities.
Manual Options:
MSG Series, MUA Series (specific gear ratios and clutch service details provided).
Automatic Options:
JR405E Model, AW30-40LE Model (specific torque converter, hydraulic control, and service procedures provided).
Transfer Case:
Detailed information on operation, maintenance, and repair of the transfer case unit, likely including 4WD engagement mechanisms.
Body Styles:
Single Cab, Space Cab, Crew Cab Utes/Pickups, potentially SUV variants (e.g., Holden Colorado SUV equivalent).
Gvw Range:
Typically ranges from 2,500kg to 3,000kg+ depending on configuration and engine.
Capacity Notes:
Towing capacities vary significantly by engine, transmission, and axle ratio; manual will specify these.
Ancap Notes:
ANCAP ratings from this era for utility vehicles varied; manual may not contain specific ratings but will detail safety systems.
Braking Systems:
Front Ventilated Discs, Rear Drums (common configuration); ABS may be optional or standard on higher trims. Manual covers inspection, service, and repair.
Restraints:
Front airbags (driver/passenger), seatbelt systems. Manual covers SRS system diagnostics and repair.
Audio Systems:
Basic AM/FM Radio, CD Player. Higher trims may have improved speaker systems. Manual covers radio, antenna, and speaker wiring/diagnostics.
ABS System:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) availability varies by model and market. Manual details ABS control module, wheel speed sensors, and hydraulic unit.
Lighting Systems:
Halogen headlights, standard taillights, interior lighting. Manual provides bulb types, replacement procedures, and wiring for all lights.
Oil Change Frequency:
Typically every 5,000-10,000 km or 6-12 months, depending on engine and driving conditions. Manual specifies exact intervals.
Timing Belt Chain:
Diesel engines (4JA1, 4JH1-TC) often use timing chains, requiring minimal maintenance. Petrol engines may use belts or chains; manual will specify replacement intervals if applicable.
Engine Oil:
API CI-4/CH-4 for Diesel, API SJ/SL for Petrol. Viscosity typically 10W-30 or 15W-40. Manual will list specific grades and capacities.
Transmission Fluid:
Dexron III/VI for automatics, GL-4 for manual gearboxes. Capacities vary by transmission type. Manual specifies exact fluid types and quantities.
Coolant:
Ethylene Glycol based, typically a green or long-life pink/orange coolant. Manual will specify type and mixture ratio (e.g., 50/50).
Diesel Engine Notes:
Potential for injector pump issues, turbocharger wear on high-mileage 4JH1-TC engines, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system clogging.
Petrol Engine Notes:
V6 engines may experience ignition coil issues or oil leaks; 4-cylinder engines are generally robust but require regular maintenance.
Chassis Body:
Rust in common areas (wheel arches, chassis rails), suspension component wear (bushings, ball joints), brake system component wear (rotors, pads).
Holden Connection:
Holden Rodeo/Colorado were badge-engineered versions of Isuzu platforms, representing Holden's entry into the light commercial vehicle and pickup truck segment in Australia.
Tf Series Significance:
The TF series (produced from 1997-2002, with overlap into the 2003-2008 range as the 'new' generation) represented a significant update, moving to more modern chassis and powertrains.
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily manufactured by Isuzu in Japan and assembled in various locations globally, including Australia for some Holden variants.
