two years ago CR-V into door oil sales fell to freezing point, and was ruthless on the opponent posters ridicule. Today, the “fate has turned,” Toyota has also been involved in the increase of oil, emulsified event, “Toyota does not really bad” and therefore subject to question, in the absence of official government response, the event continue to simmer on the network.
but this time there is no response to Toyota’s “procrastination”, Toyota China recently responsible person to respond to an event for the oil Road (described below after finishing):
Toyota official: is normal and does not affect the use of
Toyota Chinese official said in response to domestic media interview: is normal, vehicle use and safety will not cause impact, customers can rest assured that the use of vehicles. If the vehicle is involved in consumer phenomenon is still uneasy, it can be a vehicle to a dealership to check. And in particular stressed not received any consumer feedback on the above cause vehicle failure.
In addition, self FAW Toyota vehicle 249 oil increased, no one case of failure. The oil may be increased and the response to the following four reasons:
In an engine plant oil injection F tick subject, but there is a certain tolerance. There are actually exceeds the F-line injection of oil, but still within a predetermined range.
2. In addition to new car factory, vehicle maintenance when changing the oil, the oil level is also likely to exceed the F-line.
3 from the engine operating principle point of view, when cold starting, very small amounts of unburned fuel through the gap between the piston ring and the cylinder into the oil.
4. Measurement of the height of the oil level, the ground is flat, oil temperature also influence the liquid level.
As to why there will be engine oil emulsification?
FAW Toyota response: engine warm-up is not sufficiently repetitive, when used in a state below 80 ℃, a small amount of dew condensation water can not evaporate and mixed into the engine oil in the engine. In this case, the oil filler cap will appear emulsification. whenAfter the high-speed driving, when the engine is fully warmed up, the engine oil is mixed into a small amount of water evaporation, emulsification will disappear.
and this increased focus on carrying oil A25 series hybrid system models, system hybrid vehicle at low speeds, and the petrol version of the model compared to hybrid version of the model gasoline engine starts more frequently and stop, so the phenomenon is more likely to occur on hybrid models.
Although the recall in North America, but the country does not involve
Not long ago, Toyota and Lexus recall over 40,000 hybrid vehicles in North America. Thus some domestic media will be combined two things, doubt there is a gap inside the engine, resulting in coolant or oil may leak from the cracks.
In response, Toyota Motor (China) to make representation: the parties concerned the recent North American models RAV4 recall, for the manufacture of a particular engine manufacturing plant overseas that occurred during a given period problems. Confirmed by the investigation, FAW Toyota RAV4 series production models, Avalon models, due to the different engine supply plants, the same problem does not exist, it is not subject to the recall affected.
Previously CR-V, CS75 increase in oil how to solve?
Reviewing the previous Honda oil scandal –CR-V design reasons, the vehicle continued a short distance driving, the engine oil level will be increased at low temperatures, oil level increases to a certain extent engine failure indicator light will, if continued operation of the vehicle in this state may cause engine damage.
Dongfeng Honda’s solution: a vehicle within the scope of the recall free replacement air conditioning control unit, FI-ECU upgrade software, equipped with CVT transmission models also replace the heat pipe assembly, TCU software upgrade under control, inhibit oil level increases, eliminate hidden dangers. When the vehicle recall embodiments within the target range free replacement of the engine oil and oil filter, and add the engine cleaner.
Further problems also appear increased oil Chang, part of the engine mounted 1.5TGDI CS75 models, the engine electronic control unit (ECU) software missingFuel injection engine control strategy to adjust the vehicle under extreme conditions, when the vehicle is long-term and short-distance driving in a low temperature environment, there may be an increase in the oil pan of oil phenomenon.
and Chang solution is: the recall of vehicles within the scope of the inspection, upgrade ECU software and engine cooling systems, and the implementation of a free warranty for engine-related parts and components.
Consumers are not the solution
Return to the consumers themselves, Toyota did not give the consumer a satisfactory solution can even be understood as “not to a solution. ” Toyota on the official website and official accounts, did not see any “relevant statement,” more than the “official response” very passive, and only “relevant person in charge of Toyota” accepting responses when the domestic media interviews.
so the dealer can only wait for news of manufacturers, will extend the time limit for maintenance free engine-related parts and components is still unknown. The current solution is: the dealer to help owners a free replacement (solution is not given by the manufacturer) new oil.
If compared with the previous CR-V and CS75, in fact, the Toyota A25 Series “so much noise is not large,” not a large number of vehicle owners rights, the only piecemeal owners in the social networking site ” seek help from the media, “it is not a matter so much noise it is not big enough? Assuming that the event is no longer continue to ferment, or will finally let the matter rest, new car sales will not be affected.
