Buying a 2014 Prius V

Welcome to Prius Chat! What kinds of tweaks and Mods are you looking at? I always thought it'd be cool to lower a Prius V with custom suspension and low profile tires and then modify the body and do custom wrap to make the car look as small as possible.

 

Egr Valve Kit.

04004-58137 with the updated egr valve part 25620-37120. The kit with gaskets costs less than the valve alone. There are wear parts in the valve so new is recommended.

Don’t buy the $99 aftermarket egr valves which use a different mechanism and are known to stick open straight out of the box. Many have JDMSpeed on them and no Toyota part number.

If you want to buy an egr cooler as a spare, get Toyota 25601-37010 new or used. These get clogged up in many gen3s. However it may not if your car has the revised pistons and rings.

Check the vin carefully as there were two factories with their own sequence numbers. Some info on this site shows only one factory.

 

Are there black marks on the front bumper of that car? Vin:... 8528

 

What’s the miles?

With 113k miles I wouldn’t order any replacement EGR components. The pliable gaskets on the intake manifold are worthwhile to replace, they’re only about $30 USD for the lot. I replaced them, the second/recent time I cleaned the EGR/intake on our ‘10. See attached for gasket part nos.

I would recommend removing the EGR cooler’s lower hold-down nut, in advance, any time. You can do this without removing anything else, disabling the car. Just take it off and leave it off. This nut is just really hard to get at, best dealt with first..

To further expedite things, also back out the stud it was on (requires an E8 Torx socket). It’ll likely be stubborn all the way out, and again very hard to reach. Keep the socket firm and square on this stud if you do this; it’ll be difficult to break loose, and you don’t want to round off the Torx ribs on it’s tip.

Once both these items are off, the later removal of the EGR cooler will not require removal of the two rearmost studs, at the connection to exhaust manifold. Also, those studs being left on, the gasket there will be much less prone to dropping, getting lost. And during reinstall you can hang that gasket on the studs.

Also worthwhile to preemptively remove and reinstall the more accessible nut and stud combo going through the EGR valve, ditto for top bolt on EGR cooler. They all tend to be stubborn, due to dissimilar metals. Torque values for these can be found in the top link in my signature, in the repair manual excerpts

Here’s a pic of the cooler and its fasteners:



Do also read through those links, lots of tips and links, suggestions for cleaning, and tricks to avoid coolant spillage.

 

cut off this Tang you'll never use it again And a removal of it makes reinstallation of this cooler easier

 

From Toyota:

 

Don't let it sit more than two weeks without a 12v battery maintainer unless the battery is new.
