Finally after 2 peugeot cars I decided to swap to something else.

My first one was 2019 308 with Puretech.

Good:

- Engine was actually peppy for its size.

- Ok ride quality

Bad:

- Engine had some issues with overheating which had caused to misfire occasionally. it was cooking spark plugs.

- The infotainment sucked

My second car was 2022 308 with BlueHDI

Good:

- Nice interior, the physical buttons was an upgrade.

- Good handling, well balanced.

Bad:

- Continuous adblue crystallisation issues, had to dump tons of anti crystallisation liquid and the error still comes back every week or two.

- Fuel consumption on highway is not much better than Puretech. (above 100km/h consumption skyrockets)

- Infotainment system while nice, tends to freeze, drop CarPlay for no reason, few times the entire gauge cluster had to restart while driving.

All in all I don’t think I will be back, the adblue issues were the last straw, the service didn’t even want to do warranty repair of the system, just removed the error.

Hello, I’ve got a Toyota Land Cruiser J70 with a 1KZT engine (mechanical pump). Over the last year the car has been mostly idle as it had some issues with passing the government inspection (non homologated exhaust). I have just picked up the car last week and everything seems fine except for one thing. The fuel consumption went from 12l/100km to about 25l/100km. the car is running fine, no power loss, no smoke, no leaks, no weird noises (except brief ticking sound at 2000rpm). what could be the issue? injectors? fuel pump?
