Finally 100000 broken. MILES. Engine runs like a charm, some Ford Probe wanted to play with me and Auris broke 220 km/h easily with well over 4000 rpm. American wannabe sports car left far behind by family diesel :-)

Valeo flat wiper blades are crap, driver's side started to melt and back to Bosch 813S:s...

On my vacation we packed Auris with 4 persons + luggage and I started to think about something bigger instead. New Avensis got worse seats than Auris and it's cockpit layout and ergonomy is awful, new Mazda 6 HB with 2,2 diesel seems interesting and it looks very nice compared with Ave... or Whalensis. An brand new Auris or bigger 6...

Is yours chipped?

Stock family car, just careful run-in (166000+ kms today) B) and missing air intake tube before filter, that crap piece of tube is 2 cm thinner than intake hose between filter and turbo.

I've dumped Nokian Hakka V expensive mistakes last week and driving Continental ContiSportContact now, they are at least quiet ones. Original Dunlops and Goodyear F1 asymmetric lasted a bit over 30000 kms, Nokian crap 25000 kms ( less than oil change interval ) and 205/55-16 Continental ContiWinterViking was absolute winner, two winters and over 60000 kms. 225/45-17 is wrong size, if you drive a lot. In Finland a set of 225/45-17 costs 500-800 €, 205/55-16 about 400 € in Goodyear/Michelin/Continental class. Korean and chinese tyres are cheaper, but... I've tried some winter Kumhos under my old Volvo 240, it's one of the best winter cars but that winter was scariest in my life, I've driven almost 1000000 kms with 240:s and there are a couple of winters in that period ( 12 years ). Snowy winters.

Thanks

What is your fuel consumption like over there in Finland with the air intake hose off? I haven't tried with the hose off but fuel consumption for me is 42 - 44mpg calculated from brim to brim. I think thats 6.4 l/km - 6.7 l/km

About same numbers ( l/100 km ), that hose doesn't have any influence on consumption. It allows to rev a little higher on bigger gears and I clocked 222 km/h with navigator easily, easy numbers to remember. There were no flat spots in acceleration, just raw linear push all the time. We have speed limits here too and I think that nice little 122 km/h over allowed means about 1 year without licence and I stopped playing. Maybe local police doesn't believe their radars because combination Toyota + diesel + 222 km/h is impossible with "normal" Toyotas. Most Auris and Corolla diesels here are 1,4 and they need free falling and rocket fuel to broke 150...

59500miles =95551km

164g CO2/km = 15.6 tonnes of CO2.

to offsett this :

6 trees per tonne of CO2= 95 trees...i think this now classes as a small forest... I shall name it the Forest of Aurissimo...

next target plant a jungle!!!

179000 kms.

She's running like a young girl, no faults anymore and willing to do a bit better job.

Seriously, no faults and consumption has lowered too, 6,0 - 6,5 l / 100 kms BUT I have winter tyres, Nokian 4 205/55/16 and those serious noise-makers seems to roll better than 45-series. Average speed hasn't dropped, more than 70 kms.

I think that my Auris is for sale in next months, I'll buy a younger version of her. Same specs, nothing to praise, but reliability is awesome.
