DPF problems.

[Dr. Martin Gooter Bling]

That Smoke number is low for a car with DPF problems just a few weeks after the test .Did your Spanner Jockey ever say what caused your Turbo to give problems ?you said your oil was 3/4 full thats a lot of lost oil it has to go somewhere  it might be effecting your turbo and clogging the DPF .

I put half a litre of oil in it yesterday to top it up and haven't had to put oil in to it in about 4 weeks prior to that. The spanner jockey who did the DPF clean last year I don't trust at all, but he was charging 600 fer a full clean while Toyota were looking fer 2.5k fer a DPF replacement, I talked it all through with my own regular mechanic and he agreed it seemed the best option at the time.

If you need genuine Toyota parts let me know, as my cuz is in the parts dept. 20% off usually.

I had an old diesel that was hard to get through emissions,1 litre of Dipetane and Dublin to Portlaoise and back  in 3rd at about 4 thousand revs worked every time.

Thanks Marky but I tried all that and much more, it works fer a month or so.

I'd a D4D avensis for 5 years. Never an ounce of trouble from the engine.  The electric handbrake went once though. Thank fcuk I don't have one of them anymore,  an electric handbrake that is.

Worst car I ever owned. It paid for the mechanics' family skiing holidays several years in a row.

I had a 08 D4D fer 10 years (no DPF), best car I ever owned.

The D4D went pear-shaped when the poxy DPF filter was introduced,
I will never buy another diesel car.

If an Avensis petrol hybrid was available, I would gladly buy a new one today !

Knew a bloke who had one. Went into pick up a Chinese takeaway and when he came out the car was way down the road. Automatic handbrake went and of course Toyota said it couldn’t happen.

Ken, the next best thing to avensis is corolla hybrid. The reviews are great. If you could buy avensis today why not buy corolla and be done and dusted with diesel.

Notice that there are a few old Avensis, still on the road but they all seem to be petrol.
