Now the real trick is to see if anyone can get it down to $500 a month...good luck! :)
I wouldn't bother with the TSB it doesn't fix the issue.
The manifold replacement doesn't fix the issue...just fyi.
Thanks for the update Paradox. I really look forward to that show! :)
On my youtube channel I have a video of my 2011 Prius knocking. A vistor who has a 2012 Prius left this comment: "Quick update, i watched the tech...
Haven't heard / seen an episode since last September. Is What Drives Us podcast over?
Wash the car...let it sit at least two hours. Start the Prius..then right when the engine kicks on power it off. Next morning start it up and it...
I had both TSB's done. First the engine mount then a few weeks later the manifold replacement. The TSB's didn't make much of a difference other...
Like others posted I also had the new manifold installed (per TSB) and still get the knocks. In my case the knocks now only last 3 to 6 seconds...
Looks like a nice bike ride! :)

Although not exactly the same issue, I had a similar problem when I had two key FOBs from two different Prius (2010 and 2011 MY) in my 2011 Prius at...
You can file a complaint with Toyota Customer Care. That's what I did and they asked what I wanted done to fix the issue. I explained I wanted...
The Fram one you see in the video you can get at Walmart for about $18. Price may vary by area.
Mine seems to always happen when I wash it also. Water / moisture is getting in somewhere and causing the knocking.
I had the TSB for the manifold done on my 2011 Prius a while back. Just last month had the knocking noise come back. Although before the knocking...
Mine groan fairly loudly when parking brake is engaged and I get in or out of the car. It's annoying but learning to live with it.
All these pictures are just amazing! Nice work! Put's my 59.9mpg to shame :barefoot:
Oh..yeah...way over 400 miles to a tank. Who says a 2011 Prius Five with 17" wheels can't get good mpg? :) Although I'll admit I'll be filling up...
