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

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.

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

10k fuel every week?
What distance do u ride to daily??
I normally buys 15 to 20k fuel every blessed day. There's no day I haven't bought fuel in this life, every single day, I buy fuel.

I bought 25k fuel today, and 5k as back up on a gallon.

BlindAngel:
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.

erico2k2:
Go on line, check for the fuse the controls those things you mentioned and check if they are blown or not or just change the fuse and watch what happens

EMIOMOADEOYE:

Judolisco:

ceejay80s:

BlindAngel:
It's just 6L, I bought 1350 per liter at the filling station.

Judolisco:
u have to forget d idea that corolla don't consume fuel... I've driven uber before, for you to test if your car consumes fuel or not, you have to fill the tank.... And check how many days it takes for d fuel fuel guage to drop.....also note dat 8k fuel is like 7 litres now and 7 litres is nothing... Na reserve tank u jst put fuel

Also if you're in d city, maybe Abuja or lag, forget about all dis mechanics, they'll jst eat d hell out of your money.... If you're in Abuja, go to minna to fix your car, if you're in lagos, enter ibadan or ilorin to fix your car.....

Tochi360:
