Character
M15A-FKS
"The non-hybrid 1.5 three-cylinder petrol in the Yaris (XP210) and Yaris Cross: no turbo, direct injection, chain-driven, 120-125 hp. Too new for much used-car data; German guides say little is known yet. The weak point named so far is the water-cooled EGR cooler, which can crack and let coolant into the cylinders. Watch the coolant level and look for white smoke."
1NR-FE
"The 1.33 petrol in the Yaris XP90/XP130, Auris and Corolla E150/E180, iQ, Urban Cruiser and Verso-S. Chain-driven, port injection, no turbo. German and French used-car data rate it durable, but it is known for oil consumption that grows with mileage, and engines run low on oil can fail. Check the dipstick and the service history."
