this is an engine destroyed Corolla GLI 3ZZ FE engine 1596 CC, purchased brand new in 2005 sent to Islamabad for work use clocked 98000 km only and see the engine. Apparently driver was responsible for maintenance. the driver log book shows well maintenance record and engine transmission speaks otherwise.
It runs on gasoline no CNG
The last oil change was 700KM before paralysis of engine. Have brought the car and dedicted driver along over NLC trailer.
Toyota 3S in Islamabad submitted an estimate of Rs.195000 lumpsum for engine rework only after opening the head-cover & oil chamber. Transmission I will touch only after engine is firing up, asked them to pack it back and relieve the car paid Rs.2500 for such job. They bragged too much about policy this & that but i ensured car does't stay in their premises at any cost. called in recovery and delivered to NLC trailer yard near ayub park, she is at workshop i trust in Karachi
- for sure driver was pocketing the maintenance -
LESSON: Never trust your paid driver for car maintenance, double check for evey job he gets done & stay in touch with workshop he takes the car for any job. This paid-driver class is HARAMKHOR - we pay him over 12000 plus residence & food and yet he conned me
