Toyota fixed price repair list updated with a few more things

[fordulike]

In their attempt to provide a bit more transparency to the fixed pricing of certain repairs, Toyota have added a few more items to the list.

One of them, which undoubtedly will be of interest to us Aygo owners, is the clutch change at £495 for the manual gearbox. Doesn't quote for MMT.

Weirdly, I changed the drop-box to an IQ and the same clutch job is £695 . Considering they are both tiny cars with tiny engines, is it because the IQ has awkward clutch access?

For the Aygo, they show a cost for a timing belt change (£495) -as far as I'm aware the 1KE-FR has a chain. Will drop them a comment on Toyota UK blog

The diesel model had a belt

My word Dave, you are indeed correct. According to Wikipedia, they discontinued the diesel in 2007.

That version must have been hideously slow and front heavy . At least the petrol can be revved to 6k rpm, for those occasions you need a bit of zest.

Not a big seller as no real benefit over the petrol version in economy and poor power output!

Yeah, they *really* should have used the Toyota 1.4D instead of the PSA one...

I sometimes wonder how hard it would be to retrofit one into an Aygo...
