Hi @AVANTE I saw you comprehensive answer on Peugeot 406. So I submit a question and if you could, could you have a look on my post(· 0 replies
) I would like to have your opinion on that. So my obvious choice was Peugeot 406 D9 diesel one. but what i heard was, probability of some one selling it due to considerable issues, and it has hard time of reselling and repairing and spare pats finding and cost may considerably high. Seeking advice on this.
Thank you

Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 4 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

Question

Hi Guys,
I've been following AL for sometime now but this is my first post Not that happy about it being another thread about fuel consumption but I really need the help from you guys.
I have been using a 1999 Corolla AE110 (1500cc petrol AT) for about 5 years now and the current milage is around 155k KM. From the very first day the consumption hasn't been that good (around 8 km\l) but I didn't care much about it since it's an old vehicle, an auto and my first vehicle (i.e. not very driving style). But with time I was feeling that the pick up was getting slower and I have to accelerate a lot to get the vehicle up to speed, which in turn wasted more fuel. First I tried with things like fuel system cleanup and fuel additives but that didn't help. So last year I went to A$N* to get a tune up. The guy there also felt the low pick up and I got the injectors and throttle body cleaned and air filter and spark plugs replaced. There was an improvement in the pickup (though only for a few months) but no change in the consumption (in fact I think it has gone even lower now, around 7). Now after about one year the pickup is slow again and I took the car to a baas in Kesbewa and he cleaned the throttle body again and said if it doesn't help the next option is to check the fuel pump because the problem may be related to low amount of fuel coming from the pump (the reason why I have to accelerate a lot). Meanwhile I checked with T*y*t* L*n*a about whether a checkup would help, but a guy there said the problem is probably due to the age and the milage of the vehicle and if there are no warning lights no use plugging to the computer, and even a tune up may not help as I have already done it.
Now my last options are checking the fuel filter and pump but I'm not sure whether that will help either. Do you guys have any opinions about what more I can do? If this is really due to the age then I might as well have to live with it, but I know other vehicles of this model do at least 9-10 within city.
Any help is much apperciated!
Thanks.
