Toyota Avensis Hatchback (2003 - 2008) 2.2 D-4D T180 5d (06) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
In their own words
Plenty of room in the boot . The only problem other than the DPFilter was a Traction sensor required renewing. The main problem was the Diesel Particle Filter blocking, resulting in the VSC , TRCOFF and Malfunction indicator light all coming on at the same time.
I believe there are two filters -one in the exhaust tube and the other near the engine, the latter requiring the engine to be taken out for repair, consequently an expensive exercise . Perhaps if I had been told to rev. it at 4000+ regularly it would not have caused problems.
How reliable do you find the car?
DPF blocked - perhaps due in part to no long journeys being done - I now rev. it at over 4000 rev on a regular basis to clear.About their car
