I installed sound deadening material myself in my Auris.

I’m in two minds between this, vw Passat 2015 or Skoda suberb 2015. I’m thinking of doing PCO with some long journeys on the M way. Any recommendations please? Anyone?

I have the same battery issue with my 2017 auris hybrid. Leave it for a week and it needs a jump pack to start it. Use the car daily and it’s fine. I was looking to replace my 12v battery but if I’m not going to bother yet 😂

Interesting when you Google some results say winter tyres not as good in wet weather. Car I bought 12 months ago has 3 winter tyres and one landsail. Tread is approx 5-6 mm. I drive steady and haven't had any issues. Usually put 32 psi in honda jazz.

I've never had a problem of flat battery even after 2 weeks away. The parking assist is excellent.

That was a pleasant review. Reassuring because i just bought one

Very good Video, Thanks Buddy 👍Like

Subscribed. Very good in depth review. Cheers for sharing 👍

toyota is scam

The handling sleeps on winter tyres got Sava Eskimo m+s.. Best handling takes around 1.5 meters more to brake fully, but i get used to it..

I’ve used them on my two vehicles before. No noticeable difference on my ford focus 1.6 but on my CRV 2.0 i can feel better throttle response. Now in my 2018 1.6 TDI touran no difference 😂

One of the worst engines Toyota ever made. Had to clean the EGR every year to make sure it didn't go into limp mode. All the diesel emission gubbins can just go straight in the bin. Watch out for head-gaskets on these. Also the copper washers on the aluminium injectors wear down. An equivalent 320d came with it's own problems but it was a better driver. A Toyota/Lexus or a Honda NEED a petrol engine, they just stuffed that 2.2d in there for company fleet sales when Labour made diesel trendy. You want a real Jap diesel get an ISUZU. LEGENDARY oil burners. Up there with the VW 1.9 PD, old BMW and Merc diesels that keep on ticking.

Whine from CVT gearbox? I thought the hybrid had electric drive (ecvt) similar to the Prius?

Very good and practical information. Thank you!

Comprehensive, clear and unbiased review - thank you

Thank you, that was very enlightening. I do have an Auris Hybrid but I fitted a 12v socket in the boot beside the battery with a 2a fuse. This enables my 1 amp battery charger to be plugged in whenever it is on my drive. What I have never used is the automatic parallel parking system, one day I may drive it next to my neighbours’ cars and try it and hope not to regret it.

There is no difference! Worthwhile checking though. Well done and thank you.

Thank you so much for posting

I've been lucky to have seen this incredible man with his amazing machine a few times. Hes now retired. I dought there will be another like him for a long time, if ever again. Thank you Eric you truly have earned legend status.

Not replacing an engine air filter in 8 years 56k miles is insanity.

You don’t have to take the fender liner out at all. Remove the wheel, and the the circular access panel at the front of the liner twists off. Then you can reach in with one hand and remove the plastic piece with the hoses and then pull the filter out. There is a slit on the underside of the car in front of the wheel, where all of the washer fluid will drain out. You could probably do it without removing the wheel, but it would be tight and it only takes a few minutes to remove the wheel.

I love my 2023 Corolla Hybrid, everything I could ever want or need. 😊

Bit different lay-out on the 2022 model but all went well thanks to this video. If you have a 2022 model, the plastic clips on the bottom of the arch are single use. Four new clips only costs about €3 at the BMW dealer.

Oh that explains why it was so slow… 122 hp is abysmal. I did a 0-60 and I was like what is this absolute pile that can barely accelerate?

Interesting guide for DYI mechanics. Really helpfull. One recommendation for DYI mechanics and the professional ones, when, brake pads or discs have signs of bad worn, it's worth to check as well the guide pins. Usually they are stuck and doesn't allow a free movement when pushing the break pedal. The one that slides easier will take over all the presure. In the end will cause bad wearing if the disc and pads. Good luck.

Very well explained and so helpful. Thank you

Based on the results, I guess Diesel Turbo is king interms of MPG.. and it has more torque.

Thank you so much for the video. Saved myself £120. It was a very simple job. On a 2022 Mini the pump was even easier to remove just lift it up and didn’t need to unclip any cables. Only issue was I needed to buy 4 replacement black plastic plugs for the ones that were hit with the nail punch. I couldn’t see a way to get them back in using the original ones as they had deformed.

great review

When you put new K&N filter in, you must oil it first.

Great, simple owner's review! Well done, buddy! Considering buying a nearly new C-HR and this was the most positive 'owner' review I've watched yet. Many 'standard' reviews and reviewers seem to quote from a rhetoric/narrative - I'll always go by owners rather than more established, mainstream reviews as they're more realistic, poignant and honest.

I would recommend to anneal copper seals before installation. By annealing (getting them red hot) they get softer and are easier to compress by which you obtain better seal.

Really helpful thank you. I did the job just through the access cover but your vid was invaluable.

I've got a beautiful green colored 2018 turbo model. I love it. I travel 28km to work every day & yet only have to fill up every 12 days. My car takes off fast & beats most cars off the lights. I love it.

What a great review, you covered just about everything I wanted to know about the car. Thanks 😊

I will be more worried about low oil pressure warning 🤨

I am curious - why remove the hose clamp instead of drain out the fuid with the plastic drain screw on the bottom left side?

At 7:50 how do you make the funnel stay up like that and not fall down?

Thank you, I always let Lexus do it for me but I think I may have been ripped off.😳

Thanks for video, I guess I can replace mine too.

Iv done my brakes before on my last car but could not get the retaining screw out the disc. Before I rake my gtc that's probably on original discs at 50k... any tips? Yours just came off so easy..

Top video mate...very informative .It's extremely important for safety as had some near misses breaking hard with winter tyres during the Spring when temperatures are on the turn from 2-7 degrees but you get weird "freak" warm days of up to 19 degrees

I’ve just placed an order for a 2024 Aygo X for my driving school. I’ve read hundreds of reviews, watched many video reviews and test driven a good few urban miles. It’s very near perfect for what it’s designed to do. Used around town with occasional motorway use, enough space to throw shopping in, easy parking, great fuel economy, reliable mechanicals, it’s not expensive, and you get a 10 year warranty if serviced by a Toyota agent.

Fantastic video, thank you! Small tip, I found it far easier to access those 2* tricky manifold bolts by just removing the battery. Plain sailing after that!

I currently own both options and while my hybrid is a performance car, and far faster than my pedestrian diesel. The thing that I like most about its drivetrain is manouvering and low speed driving on electric only power. It feels a lot more refined and socially responsible than the noise of a diesel through our small streets. I've notoced a couple of hybrid taxis filling up on LPG near me which must be increadibly cheap to run.

Prefer diesel, no battery degradation issues and plenty of grunt for the hills.

Diesel is better for highway, hibrid is better for only city driving. Not in consumption, in reliability.

The vauxhall astra is well known for dpf, egr problems and the worst of all timing chain which is a major job

You take the electric and I'll take the diesel and race you New York to Los Angeles. Which is more practical in real world conditions?

Interesting comparison....I did skip a little bit, but was there any reference in the overall cost calculations to the Diesel fuel costing more than Petrol.
