Posted November 1, 2015. You should get about 14v with the engine on, so your alternator is probably good. Test the Battery voltage with the engine off, it should still be towards 14v, even after sitting for a few days. If it's down a bit your batty is probably on the way out, or there's something draining it. Quote.
Posted January 28, 2014. I bought Toyota Avensis 6 months ago. Previously it was serviced with 5W30 oil and there was oil consumption of 1L/1000miles. On my recent service I changed it to 15W40 because the owners manual allows it to -14 degree Celsius. Surprisingly the consumption dropped to 0.3L/1000miles. I looked at a few Octavia saloons/estates but in my budget equipment was poor, Toyota reliability and Hybrid really appealed to me. The avensis looked like a nice car. Was a 2016 diesel estate, for around 8k when I was looking around the Toyota dealer nearly 2 years ago. Looked roomy with black leather, 30k miles. pajZM.
