Toyota Avensis T3-X - Toyota oil consumption Short block replacement - Frann
I have a Toyota Avensis which has had a short block replacement under Toyota warranty for the oil consumption problem in July 2009. The car had done 42,405 miles at replacement. Serviced in Feb 2009. Serviced in Feb 2011 and then in July 2011 suffered a complete engine failure apparently due to the timing chain failure. The dealership are saying that this can happen at any time, the car has only done approx 60, 000 miles. Has anyone else had this problem?
