    Hi Rod, if it is all wheel drive auto model which I assume (being Cruiser), I was told to expect around 8l per 100 km. I have the same issue with the same car same year / model. Someone from this forum said they get 6.5 l per 100 km. But it was from a same car model with manual gear box. Cheers.
  2. Hi All, An update from my side. Toyota ( the dealer) reworked on my Diesel engine RAV 4 2013 model AWD Cruiser model at the end of November last year. They replaced piston, gasket etc etc... A long list. The engine was put down for about 5 working days. When I got back my car, I was warned to be gentle with the acceleration as the reworked engines are like new ones. There was one more problem. The gasket was not properly fixed resulting in the minor external oil leak (I noticed at the bottom of the car). They recalled the car and replaced the gasket with a new one. So far I have done about 8000 km after it was reworked. No sign of excessive oil use. The economy is best ever achieved so far with all my drive all the time in Melbourne suburbs and City. I am happy with the reworked engine with the oil consumption level. Toyota dealer always gave me courtesy car in two of these occasions. I think it was worth to replace the piston. Any comments and suggestions?
  3. Hi All Great to hear from everyone. I look forward to hear more from Welshpomie as he progress with the reworked engine. My 2013 RAV4 was purchased from Waverley Toyota Glen Waverley and serviced by them as well. Cheers
  4. Hi All. My RAV4 2013 diesel cruiser is diagnosed with the same problem. I looked up in the Internet and found this forum talking about the same issue. In addition to this, my economy is worst with 8.5 l average. Toyota managed to do the sweet talk and booked to put down the engine for 5 working days to replace the pistons etc. Promised me that it will reduce the oil consumption by 60 percent. At first I was too worried thinking about the reworked engine. But I also thought having to live with oil hungry engine for forever. I only did 20th within a year and already refilled twice. Any way I just wanted to share this with you all. Cheers.
