Hi,
My G2 was bought in Sep and has done 5K kms now ( yesterday I took it to Nandi Toyata for 5K checkup). I have not noticed any problems so far ...Engine remains as peppy as it used to be . Good acceleration even on 5th gear and it touches 100+ Kms very quickly.
A couple of observations:
My friend who brought a G2 at the same time as me was complaining that his vehicle is not going above 120Kms . I have actually touched 145Km once on Tumkur highway . We are planning to switch the vehicles for a day to find out if there is any change in performance.
Another friend who has a G1 purchased aorund April 05 ( done 14K) came to my house yesterday . When he started the engine I could sense that the noise level has actually gone very high .
Last weekend I travelled 1100Kms ( Bangalore-Cochin-Bangalore) and was really happy with the performance. Did two fillings with normal diesel from Reliance Pump. Interestingly somewhere near Salem I was following another Innova and was surprised to see a lot of black smoke coming from its exhaust when that car was accelerating. Thought that he must be running on bad fuel ..but now I am thinking ...
I am curious to know the outcome of your interaction with Toyota.
Once of the reasons I bought Innova was for the "legendary reliability" that Toyota is known for . I owned an Indica Diesel 99 model for more than 6years which almost made me to switch my career as an Auto mechanic !
If you would like to discuss it further please send me a private message. |
