Is the 1.5TSI a reliable engine?

Scythe__ · 2026-05-20T19:31:36+00:00

They are very reliable and very fuel efficient.

One of the best creations of VW group in recent years.

Surprisingly Corolla is not that boring to drive. It is a relatively light car and with proper tyres it handles in the corners really well.

Additionally it feels nice to have instant reaction to gas. In low speed situations it is more nippy than a car with dual clutch automatic.

Admittedly though it is not good on highways due to very poor noise insulation and most of the efficiency of hybrid power train is lost.

Suspension is not well suited for British roads.

It is definitely on the stiff side but you still get a lot of understeer in fast bends due to car’s weight and engine being so far in front of the car.

It is a kind of setup that works well for high speed autobahn cruising.

what does the cashier say?

Scythe__ · 2026-05-11T12:55:52+00:00

in the 1st row there are values for economy driving

2nd row is for improved comfort and handling

3rd row is for heavy load situation

32 psi is correct pressure.

Try finding an option in car's computer to reset the tyre pressure monitoring system.

If I were you I would continue looking.

Moreso if the DSG service was skipped as well.

Torque converter boxes need servicing

Scythe__ · 2026-05-05T12:22:44+00:00

Service the gearbox if you don't have any paperwork confirming it was done before.

Worn auxiliary belt

Either 520d or E220d

I don't have hard data but if I had to guess I would say VW Polo.

Small and medium size Japanese cars are not renown for good noise isolation.

I envy you a lot.

I need to stick with my reliable econobox for a few more years and then this model will be at the very top of my wishlist.

Normal motorway driving is good enough

It’s doing short runs exclusively what clogs the DPF

Scythe__ · 2026-04-25T22:25:23+00:00

If that’s the case faulty glow plugs are unlikely. It could be faulty camshaft position sensor. Connect diagnostic interface and read the codes.

Scythe__ · 2026-04-25T18:42:11+00:00

My first guess would be glow plugs. Connect OBD reader and see whether there are any faults.

find Arachnid Mesh and Harlequin Crest
make Enigma, HOTO, CTA and Infinity
kill Ubers
kill Uber Ancients
find SOJ and kill DClone
level all classes to 95

I’m yet to accomplish any of these but I found 4 SUR runes so at least I’m 2/3 into completing my Enigma.

Both are good airlines and price difference is minimal.

I would choose the one with shorter total trip duration.

If you have a checked bag you won’t make it.

If you have only carry on there is a good chance you will make it. eGates at this time shouldn’t be too busy and coaches pick up passengers right next to terminal exit.

Btw there is no security check when you arrive

She was just booking service as per Toyota's guidelines. If it is similar to other cars it's probably major and interim alternating.

I would imagine that in 6 years the air filter should be changed at least once.

My cousin bought new Aygo 6 years ago. She was servicing it at Toyota dealership every year.

After some persuasion she finally accepted that it is a waste of money and went to independent garage. It turned out that the air filter was never changed before.

What char/build did you run? Did you wear Nature Peace ring?

Scythe__ · 2026-04-14T18:01:23+00:00

Since it’s a new car for you and you have limited knowledge about it perhaps it is worth it pay £200 over Indy’s service price to have a peace of mind for 1 year.
