- Possible cause described
- Recalls the guide says are closed: oil in the crankshaft sensor (the engine can stop), a B-pillar damper that could ignite with the pretensioner, a stiff accelerator pedal, airbags, seat runners, a corroded brake master cylinder and the steering column.
- Check for the garage
- Check by VIN that the campaigns were done; check rust, leaks and MMT clutch wear.

Injectors, dual-mass flywheel and oil consumption on the 1.4 D-4D (1ND-TV)Injection / turbo
- Engine / equipment
- 1.4 D-4D (1ND-TV): Yaris, Yaris Verso, iQ, Urban Cruiser, Corolla, Auris and Verso-S
- Period mentioned
- Approx. 2001–2018
- Symptoms
- Hard starting, rough idle, smoke and loss of power; noise or vibration from the flywheel when starting and releasing the clutch; oil consumption.
- Possible cause described
- Soot builds up in the injectors and EGR valve, especially with many short trips. The dual-mass flywheel wears and, in the worst case, damages the gearbox. Failures of the rail pressure regulator and oil consumption through the turbo or crankcase ventilation are also reported.
- Check for the garage
- Read the codes, run an injector back-leak test and check the EGR. Listen to the flywheel at idle with the clutch released. Measure oil consumption.
- Cost cited in the source
- Approx. €1,000–1,600 for dual-mass flywheel and clutch (German guide).A rough figure from the original database, not an up-to-date quote.
