I dropped of my 120 this morning at Romford Toyota for a service with a list of things to check. Some of them were:
Smokes like battersea power station when accelerating hard after driving slowly for a while
Oil / diesel / soot around the ERG valve
Tailshaft thump
Also commented on what seems to be increasing fuel consumption and reluctance when flooring it.
Nigel, a very friendly service manager has just called me back.
New ERG valve being fitted
leaky injector (! ! ! ! ! !) and suspect they need to replace all 4 due to poor spray pattern.
Will confirm about the rest
This is still all warranty work so it should be covered.
If there is a leaky / poor spray injector(s), I would be so happy if they do change it.
Question: he said the ERG valve was leaking gases. I did not ask where to. Could they make their way into the crankcase or does he mean the internal valve back into the air in-take?
