Hi All,

Those who took delivery of their new aurions, Do you guys remember what was you odometer showing? and What's the average fuel cosumption.

I checked mine, it was 36KM and average fuel consumption was 31/100KM, Far out. Is this common?, the average fule consumption I guess needs time to come down as I start to drive more. But 31/100Km is pretty high. Hopefully the dealer did not give it to some kid to rev up the car when they send the car for window tinting??

Can't really answer the first question for you, but as for the second, there is a little discussion if you want to dive in further.

Aurion average fuel consumption (preferably for manual calculations)

Fuel economy advice (mainly for trip meter readings)

As for the high level you have, it can be expected that it may be a bit off being a new car and all, but it should settle down after a few minutes of gentle driving or so. Also, if you leave it idle for quite some time and barely move anywhere, the readings can go up, but this should soon go away after driving some more. It is updated every 10 seconds and is calculated based on the distance travelled since last refuel in combination with fuel injection signals from the No.1 injector. In other words, drive futher, get a more accurate reading.

Yes it was a full tank of petrol! The petrol needle went pass full, so yes he gave me a full tank.

That would most likely be the issue then. Next time you drive it, leave it on the Average Fuel Consumption screen and watch it. It should go down over a short while. Since you have it new, you should retain your petrol receipts and keep track of your 'real' fuel consumption.

Ok Thanks ALL! I'm one paranoid owner,

Now have to sort my other issue. I guess you guys would have seen that post too.

Man I can't be the most paranoid owner. LOL!! :)

I picked up my new car 2 days ago and it had 17km on the clock. Average speed was 1km/h and consumption was 6.9lt/100 and under 1/2 a tank i was expected to get 300+km out of it according to the system :)

The fuel system will even out over time. I have reset the trip meters every time i fuel up in any car i have owned. Doing this gives you a better indication of how much fuel you are actually using. Just take note of the amount of fuel you put in and how many km you get. I have put 2 tank fulls of petrol through mine, and the whole shebang has settled in nicely.

As for revving it up at the window tinters via the hands of some pimply 17yo, i dont think there is a lot of damage he could have done. I worked in a car forwarding/holding/storage yard, and i can tell you, how those guys treat cars, its abysmal. Lets just say, be happy that's its an Aussie built car, and not one they would have unloaded from a ship.

As a security option all aurions are sent out in a mode which only allow minimal travel/speed. Once a car is delivered and processed for sale the dealer uses an activation software (this was explained to me by my sales person to unlock the car and set it up for use). In the case of my presara i witnessed and took part in some of this, at this time the car was running (activation of toyota-link etc) this may have taken 10 minutes or more. This indeed would impact on fuel consumption versus distance traveled.

Pre-delivery test etc may account for some distance fuel usage. Ask the dealer if you are worried.

Ok tonite was the 1st time I took my car out for a drive since I brought it home on tuesday.

And after reading the manuals, the average fuel consumption gets reset after a petrol is pumped.

So the petrol was full when the car was given to me, so when it was showing 31/100 , its just the computer not adjusting yet or not working properly.

I was just worried unnecssarilly.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
