Recommended Posts

I brought an avensis in feb 2011 with a full service history, in may 2011 it started losing coolant, I took it to a Toyota garage for some tests and was told that there was a fault with the engine and it had to be replaced. in july 2011 Toyota replaced the original engine with a modified counter engine and I was told that the new engine would out live the car. just over a week ago the replacement engine started losing coolant again, I rang the garage who replaced the engine who told me to ring Toyota GB they advised me to take it back to the garage and have the test done, I had the test done today and on the paperwork they gave me it confirms the same problem on the new engine, and I quote "the repair required is a new engine " however Toyota GB are now saying that the car is over 5 years old and out of milage warranty. even though the car has only done approx. 68,000 miles since the new engine just over 2 years ago.

can anyone help or suggest anything ??

My engine was replaced about 4,000 miles ago and it has appeared to loose a little coolant out of the overflow. It was overfilled, but ill be keeping a close eye on it.

How many miles is on the car in total?
