The airconditioning unit in a motor vehicle is attached directly to the engine so yes, when engaged, it does drain a considerable amount of power. If you've ever been in an old Lancer (The oldies with the 4g15 engine) and put the aircon on doing about 100k, you can literally feel the slump in power. 69Kw to begin with FTL! I can't remember exactly who on the forum is in a 4runner/ Hilux now, but they should feel the same effect, I know my fathers 1995 model does it.

I think it's 60 litres or could be 65litres, definitely either one of those two :rolleyes:

The sportivo's have 60 litres, whereas the other models have 55 litres.

noice, so basically the fuel LED is turned on as soon as there 20 ltr or less, is it correct?

That's a safe assumption. I did almost 100KM when the light started coming on. I just keep going and see when my Stivo would die on me....

3 liters left to the tank when I got to it .............. :D

Imagine if i LIFT. Engine would just die halfway through it. Hahahahahhaha. BTW, anyone know of any side effects if we run the car till the fuel is empty?

You risk damaging your fuel pump in the long term. Dont run it dry often if at all...

Just got back from a trip to Sydney and filled up about 50km after the light came on from a brimming full tank after an amazing 853.5 km. I filled up the tank to the brim again and it took 46.9L so thats just under 5.5 L/100km. It was 100% highway driving and a dream run but thats theoretically over 1000 km/tank!

VVT-i is hard to beat when it comes to fuel efficiency. My previous car a Corolla Levin ZZE with CAI and full exhaust was able to travel 450km using only half tank on 100km/h freeway zone. I was stunned.

My friend did managed to reached Sydney from Melbourne with 1 full tank with his zzt Celica. But I failed to achieve that with my Celica when I was on my way to Gold Coast from Melbourne. Could be because I was stuck in serious traffic that morning. So at best I did it with 1 and a quarter tank driving my Celica from Melbourne to Sydney.

Labouring the engine otherwise.

Wow really.... I'll give this a go. Just got back from the snow and did 588.8 km and filled up 49.75 L.

Going to be filling up tomorrow for the return journey

Winter isn't the best time of year for fuel economy.

Colder air = denser = needs more fuel to maintain the same AFR.

Gav.

Which is why cars have intake air-temperature sensors to compensate for the density change. And cold air should give you slightly more power, which means you can use slightly less throttle to get the same results, thus keeping fuel consumption roughly the same.

Of more impact would be the lack of AC being used, which sucks a substantial amount of power. Using the heater uses no power (apart from driving the fan), so keeping the car warm in winter uses less fuel than keeping it cool in summer.

My TX3 doesn't! But yeah, I guess nearly every car from early 90s onward would do...

AC still has a place in winter for demisting fogged up windows.

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt. The link is https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility I would appreciate any feedback from any owner who has taken this step. thanks, Bob See https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-land-cruiser-200-series-2016-2022-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I just had my Aurion ATX 2010 in for service today and received a call regarding oil cooling pipe has a prick hole and car is deemed not safe to drive till replaced. Service department bloke said they are taking photos and sending of for Warranty and awaiting a reply if it will be replaced at their cost or mine. I was informed it was picked up during service in 2020 and deemed safe? I will keep you updated on the outcome. my car has always been serviced at Toyota and only has 209,900 Kim’s

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.
