Estima Diesel Fuel Consumption

Help! My 2006 Toyota Estima diesel is guzzling fuel! Power's down, and the check engine light is on. Mileage is at 152346 km. Could it be the turbocharger or head gasket?

Fluctuating cylinder pressure on a diesel Estima could stem from several sources. While turbocharger issues or head gasket leaks are possibilities, have you considered inspecting the timing belt or crankshaft? A diagnostic check should help narrow down the root cause.

Crankshaft, really? I thought that only affected starting. How would that cause higher fuel consumption?

It's more likely a consequential error resulting from another issue. These symptoms suggest a thorough inspection is needed. Visiting a workshop equipped to diagnose cylinder pressure issues would be advisable.

Thanks! Took it to a workshop; apparently it was a consequential error. No repairs required! I really appreciate your help!
