LandCruiser Fuel Filter Heater Issue

I'm having trouble with my 2005 Toyota LandCruiser diesel. It's got about 50000 km on it. I think it's the fuel filter heater. I'm getting an error, reduced power, poor response, higher fuel consumption, and rough idling. I checked the fuel filter and lines, but I can't find anything obvious. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my LandCruiser. Check the cable and plug connection to the fuel filter heater. It's a common problem. Is the engine stalling?

Thanks, I'll check the connections. Were your symptoms exactly the same? Did you fix it yourself, or did you need a mechanic?

Yes, the symptoms were the same. Since it's likely a bad cable or plug, and you've already looked at it, I'd suggest a workshop. Could be a deeper electrical issue.

Thanks for the advice. I checked the connections myself but couldn't fix it, so I took it to a shop. It was a defective connector, like you said. The repair was 95€, which is pretty good. Your help was really useful.
