Avensis 2.2Turbo Diesel Died At 90,000 Miles

[GarminDave]

On Friday my 2005 Avensis 2.2 Diesel made horrible knocking noise and black smoke. Relayed back to dealer and bad injector fault shown. Today I have been advised the injector was OK but sump is full of broken metal so a new engine at £3,500 is required.

I have had the car from new. Had all the service done at the dealer I bought it from. Had a new block at 70,000 miles on a Toyota recall. The car has 90,000 miles now.

Do you think this is reasonable? Do you think I have any recourse? In my view the car is now a right off as it's only worth £3,000.

Hello David - welcome to Toyota Owners Club.

Moved to the Avensis club so you may get a better response

Thanks for moving this post. My dealer recommends I talk to Toyota Customer Care. I will let you all know how I get on.

Later

When you say 'new engine' presumably that's brand new from Toyota? You could explore other options - a second hand unit from a damaged vehicle.
