Hello dear specialists,
I'm still undecided about the engine for my next toy (78). It's a vehicle that will be dedicated solely to travelling, especially far away (around the globe).
I'm currently on 1hz turbo, so diesel, but I'm hesitating about 1GR (petrol). I know the differences in use(torque, power, consumption), but less as for maintenance and reliability. My questions are
- Is the 1GR's more modern electronics an insurmountable problem in some remote areas?
- Is it more complicated to maintain a 1GR engine yourself, because of its technology?
- In terms of reliability, even if the 1hz is unbeatable, the 1GR has clearly proved its worth too, if I've got my facts right!
Thank you in advance for your advice.
