There was a report in this weeks Auto Express regarding problems with a couple of Toyota engines.

The 1.8 VVTi apparently is suffering from piston ring problems at 50,000-60,000 miles, causing excess oil consumption, and requiring new short engines, but Toyota are only paying where there is a full Toyota service history.

The 2.2d engine has apparently been suffering from injector problems.

Does anyone have any experience of either?

Check out the following site:
toyotaownersclub.com/forums

lots of accounts on the above site of 1.8 problems.

From what I have read it was supposed to affect only pre-04 1.8 VVTi models.
Strange thing is that this problem has been highlighted several times in the past few years, so not sure why Autoexpress have made it a news item now.
