really if its zero maintenance car then why did Toyota Indus stop producing diesel car? we had home car 2.0D 2004 corolla n kept it till 2010 with healthy engine also i had my own 2.0D saloon 2008/09 previous shape corolla sold it last year with no issue at all why i sold it coz the cost of maintenance with diesel prices were going high.....let compare with 1.3 Gli
Gli corolla 1.3 2nzfe:
oil filter cost 500rs
oil 4 liter minimum 2500rs
air filter toyota genuine 1500rs
changing fuel filter depend on u after 40-50,000km: 2500rs
acid battery after 2.5 years 40ah 3500rs
2.0D 2c diesel:
oil 5L: minimum 3000rs
oil filter toyota genuine:1000rs
diesel fuel filter after 15-20,000km to keep running 2c healthy: dont remember the cost
acid battery after 2 years 60ah :4500-5000rs
overhauling 2c after 75k km price minimum cost 50,000rs
now the diesel price is also high so tell me is it cheaper to run petrol car or diesel car? my 2.0d saloon used to run 550-600km on 55L tank....i dont want to continue on audi Q7 3.0tdi maintenance costs
