Total on the selette: the Toyota do not like its diesel

(Belga) Some Toyota brand models do not start or have starting difficulties if you fill them up with Total diesel, "Het Laatste Nieuws" said on Wednesday.

"These are cars equipped with a D4D diesel engine which was fitted from 1999 to 2006 on the RAV4, Previa, Avensis and Corolla," says Anne Potemans of Toyota. "Some 30.000 cars in Belgium run with this engine. We do not yet know the cause of the problem. It is surprising to note that this defect only appears with diesel from Total", she adds. (NLE)


I invite you to see this topic on skynet and take a look at the reactions of readers:

It is perhaps linked to the "magic" additives to consume less, which TOTAL advertises, the famous more expensive "Excellium" fuels. : Lol:

Not stupid: to consume less there is no better than screwing up the engine :) Are greener than I thought at Total! : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:

Bad :?

I rather believe that it is about an unforeseen incompatibility between certain parts of the direct injection of D4D and certain chemical compounds of Total fuel, known for its "high technological level".

I can see a guy with a D4D who picked up the shit from the Erika. Advertising, he must hear it like that

Total, you will no longer come to us ....................
inaudible [by chance] : Lol:

This ties in with what people said about engine sophistication; by force it becomes so sensitive that it behaves as for Formula 1 which does not start at the start of the race : Lol:

Exactly, moreover their logo sums it up perfectly:
Total, you will no longer come to us by chance
