My 2005 Corolla Consumes Too Much Fuel by Volunteer: 7:25pm On Jan 14, 2010 |
Hi Nairalanders, Had to travel from Lagos to Ibadan on a quick meeting today and was surprised at how my fuel tank virtually emptied. I left Lagos with my tank 3/4 full, and drove to Ibadan without experiencing any unusual traffic hold-up save for the many lorries on the expressway which slowed things down for me. Returned to Lagos immediately after my meeting and arrived home with my tank on reserve (reserve light on). This has me worried and gives great concern. What could be the cause of this? Does the car have a defect or problem? I used the A/C all through the journey but don't think that could be the cause. What do you think is the problem? Your urgent advise is appreciated. |

So many things can cause a vehicle to consume more fuel than normal.Look for an experienced auto mechanic to run a general check to diagnose what the problem is. |

If you have seen that 'check engine light' and ignored it, your car is now giving you heads-up. |

Thanks Behind bobo, i would get an experienced auto mech but from experience, walking to your mech without prior insight can get you messed up terribly as I have little trust for mechs these days. Thanks all the same. @sultaan, never had that light come on before, that would even have been more comforting. Other thoughts welcome. |

If this is the first time this is happening, why not observe it more closely to sure its really a fault!! It could be your reving habit was quite high or just something related!! All in all, i suggest you observe the car at least for the next 2 days and then report back onw hat you noticed!! |

Hello. Various factors on a vehicle can cause excess fuel consumption. As per the Corolla 2005, you will need to first ascertain whether you have a check engine light on the dashboard. If not, you will regardless need to run a diagnostics on the vehicle to ensure no part of the Electronic Fuel Injection system is malfunctioning. Once this is ok, then other systems must be checked, such as fuel injectors, injector seals, fuel strainer, air intake / filter, air flow meter, knock sensor, fuel system pressure etc. We have an auto service centre located at Iddo, near Lagos terminus. We handle Japanese, and Korean vehicles (mainly Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Kia & Hyundai). All the diagnostic equipments we have are current. If you wish, you may contact us to set up an appointment for your vehicle, on the numbers below: 08026158430 / 08098045555 Our address is as below: HAMA Enterprises (Nig.) Ltd. Iddo Railway park Chisco Transport Compound (opposite Leventis building / Iddo house) Iddo Lagos. We can forward you our Company profile / brochure via email to give yourself an idea on who we are , and what we do. If you require, please forward your email address. In the meanwhile, any further queries, I will be glad to assist. Best regards Manoj Dadlani |
