Bought my Avanza 2yrs ago ,I'm in the transport business,knowing the vehicle is used to its full capacity .At 228000km ran a bearing knock which is is not due to a lack of servicing but due to the fact of quality of engine is not a Toyota engine it is a Diahutshu engine beware which is very inferior. cause to bearing knock is sludge which builds up in the engine due to the oil pickup which gets blocked with sludge.A number of my coll in the indusry has picked up the same problem with these Avanzas.People please be aware when purchasing these vehicles .it is a serious matter at 200000 Km Beware!!
