Good morning Nairalands

After my never ending fuel gulping battle with my Toyota Camry, I later ended up buying a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

I went with my mechanic to a car stand to get it, when we got there we saw different kinds/types of corolla. My mechanic told me some are 1.8l engine while others are 2.0l and a lot of the corolla uses venza engine.

I wanted to buy any of the corolla of 1.8L engine but my mechanic told me that they're old model, that I should get a recent corolla with Venza engine, but I refused when I heard the word "venza engine"

I told my mechanic that over my dead body will I jump from frying pan to fire, from Camry to Venza. I said so because since the corolla is using Venza engine, it'd surely gulp up fuel like Venza, which would be a lot worst than a camry.

But my mechanic assured me that what I said is very false, that it won't. That a corolla is a corolla and corollas doesn't eat fuel.

His words really calmed me down and I bought the 2012 corolla.

So I bought 8k fuel to test the fuel usage and see how long it'd last, I know I should have bought more, but I needed to get a faster result.

Well, it turns out that my mechanic tricked me and I'm in so much pains right now, my 8k fuel only went for 31km before the fuel got exhausted, I later realized that I was very much right and shouldn't have listened to my mechanic that a corolla is a corolla, venza engine or small 1.8L engine.

From my observation, it seems the 2012 corolla is gulping up fuel like a venza. Yesterday, I took it to a mechanic and asked them to fix anything that'd make the car to gulp up fuel, they changed the plugs, cleaned the filter, I will be testing it today with another 8k fuel, I pray and I hope that it won't be as bad as it was yesterday, because I'm so depressed right now, after what my camry did to me which made me went for a corolla, now I'm having same issue with my corolla. I'm really so down right now.

An 8k fuel which is around 6 and half litre for 31 km ride was too much for now unless you tested it during buhari regim.

Corolla with venza engine. You’re telling me that a venza engine rides on 2.0 litre engine?

You should have done personal research before trusting a mecho, they are bunch of deplorables.

Yes, we saw lots of corolla that are using venza engine.

You mean the fuel usage was OK or I'm the one not understanding what you meant? Is it OK?

It's really so unfortunate, I'm so down right now.

BlindAngel:

Impossible.
Only highlander and venza can share engine.
Plus maybe hilux and fortuner.
No corolla will be able to use a venza engine.

Edit:
I've got so many mentions of camry 2010 upwards using venza engine. The engine covers and format of the 4cylinders look thesame but the strength and size of the mechanical materials inside are different. It's a 2.5L for camry to 2.7L for venza/highlander.

You should be specific
All these corolla engine venza engine is half information
Engines have their model numbers
and it's not only one engine that's in all Venzas
It depends on the year.
Is it the 2AR engine u mean?

Even the 8k fuel is half info
How many litres did u get from the 8k

8k fuel is how many liters

8 k fuel small na.

Oga how many liters do you think is 8k? To me I think the fuel consumption is fine if you drove around town and busy roads.

Op that engine is 2.5l. I am not sure there is a venza engine with 2.0l capacity.

It's like you have too much money. This one you're Jumping from one car project to another car project. If you want maximum satisfaction Kukuma sell the venza engine and buy 1.8L engine

This op na wahala person, he dey find car wey go use 10k fuel travel lagos to Enugu . Stingy man go buy bicycle

Venza engine nor b V6? V6 go drink fuel na

BlindAngel:

Very ok at the current price of fuel.

Some muscle Camry as well. My in-law uses one that comes with an engine like Venza

Me I bought 7litres ,just to go to mechanic to help me gum back my exhaust gasket,in the process of doing it,the idiot cut my injector mouth wire,a rewire came to just fix it but I'm not comfortable, now I have to buy another plug that will be going into the injector mouth. However out of the 7litres,seems my fuel pump has gone bad as the sound of the engine sounds weak,so I know its fuel pump,cos na 6 and 7litres I dey manage almost 2months now. I will have to buy another pump and another plug connector going to injector .budget like 10k..out of 7litres,in left with just 4litres,due to bad pump and dirty nozzles.

Agbado topic

Which kind wahala u put ursef now @OP. If u are in Lagos, hot me up. Or mention me here, I have a mechanic dat will fix it for u here, it will reduce the fuel consumption, but won't be 100% Sha.

I'm at Oyingbo, spare parts market.


Since u just bought d car, there should b a return policy na, so u change it to d one u want, den u n d dealer can do it plus and minus.

First the engine is not a venza engine, it 2zr smaller to venza engine
Secondly you can have the car scan you might have a bad oxygen sensor and can lead to fuel consumption. So please scan the car first be4 doing anything

I scanned it, the issue wasn't oxygen sensor, the scanner told me it was exhaust sensor. I searched for it throughout the whole of today but I couldn't find it, tomorrow I will continue Mt search.

Boss, it's a venza engine, my mechanic confirmed it, lots of camry are also using this venza engine, if u want I can snap it for u to see that it's purely venza engine.

No, it's purely a venza engine. Lots of camry are also using it, purely venza engine.

How many litres did u get from the 8k

I got 6L from the 8k fuel.

Curious346:

It was 6L

Nicepoker:

It's venza engine sir, 100% venza engine.

If you can drop the scan result we can help you get a solution sir

Please do sir🙏🙏🙏

BlindAngel:

if its actually a 2.0l engine fuel consumption should be 8-9 liters/100km. That's why I say that engine could be 2.5l

Abbeyismo:

I do not have the scan result, the person that was scanning it told me it's exhaust sensor. I told my mechanic and he told me that all cars uses two exhaust sensor that's close to the bunnet, I can't find it anywhere, my mechanic told me it's expensive that one is 23k that he has one for sale and I should look for the other.

The scanner man didn't tell me if it's two that's bad or just one, that's the problem right now, but nevertheless I'm searching for the two.
