Things haven't really changed, there were always some makes/models/engines that didn't burn a noticeable amount of oil and some that did. People...
Now to your actual issue. It appears that everything here is linked to the relatively common problem of low of SOC (state of charge) during the...
First up, congratulations on following the instructions for measuring the 12V battery and correctly reporting all three values. You'd be amazed...
Hi John. We're strictly metric here, so km and litres etc. :) On these forums however I often use quarts (US) in place of litres. This is...
No problems Rob, that's the way to do it. (y) Over the various cars I've owned I've noticed that oil consumption is often slightly greater at...
Seriously rob, you seem to have an unrealistic expectation that your Prius will never consume any oil. This could cause you to run low on oil at...
Hi Susan. My understanding is this. Because this key does not fit snugly into the slot, then you have to hold it in there while you start the Prius....
Hi Boppo. Yes it's normal behavior to see the charging voltage sometimes drop to 13.3 volts. Mine does it when the weather is warm and after about 25...
Yeah you need a healthy 12V battery in there. The price sounds a bit steep though, others in the US have mentioned prices ranging from about $220...
Thanks for the update Danny. Let us know how the rebuilt one turns out.
Hi ovni. Do you know if this will work in Prius localized models outside US. For example the right hand drive UK or Australian models? Also, just a...
Disconnect that 12 volt battery and get it out of the car as soon as possible. It has failed catastrophically.
RAL. You're referring to a specific case of someone who previously never saw more than 6 bars SOC, but now suddenly sees 8 bars regularly. I just...
Sorry RAL, you've lost me, I'm not sure how this relates to the current discussion. You seem to be referring to some particular case here, but...
Chris, I think it's to be expected that not all oil consumption issues have the same origin. In the lower mileage unit that Avi treated with Seafoam...
Yep, it's giving high gas prices "the finger". ;)
BTW el-man, you didn't answer my earlier question. Roughly how many km per year do you drive and what is the approx fuel economy (in either L/100k...
In some sense it's both of these. NiMH batteries deteriorate due to both calendar aging and also cycle life aging. We don't have a lot of...
No that was a more recent case. That guy had the problem before he even took it in for the recall. The case I'm thinking of was about a month...
Hi 06Commuter. They don't need to take the steering wheel apart to damage the clock-spring cable. It's called the "clock-spring" cable, because it's...
Separate names with a comma.
