I'm trying to figure out how to private message too. I haven't been messaging on here sonce like 2013 when the dealership "stole" my plug in Prius
Can i get your contact info? My friend that is not a prius chatty member yet has some questions about the car. Can he text you? It’s taking a long time for the moderators to approve his request to join, and he wants to make use of the weekend if the car is right for him
sorry didn't see your June post to my profile - it looks as if you found your answer from your picture of your Cutting Edge Prius
Thanks for all your assistance in wheel-bearing replacement advice. I couldn't "crimp/indent" the axle-nut. mark was directly downward and I couldn't get enough force to create an indentation. I was going to drive it to move it. Is the viable or does it always point downwards now? How to crimp it as well? I used a small hammer and screwdriver to no avail. Thank You.
I am going to try again. I think I was just too apprehensive about hitting the axle for fear of breaking something.
I have a 2010 with 235K and want to add an OCC to it. Do you sell the 3D mount you made? I am guessing I can get the OCC off amazon. Thanks,
I have a 2010 prius w 130,000m,and a booster pump running every 10 sec. I plan to change the brake booster/actuator. 1. Would you advise me to steer clear of BAM Auto. 2. Can I use techstream and complete bleeding procedures without a scanner? 3. If I go forward w the Techstream plan what dongle and cord would you recommend I buy? 4. At some point I would like to buy a scanner. Do you have a recommendation
I would suggest to start a thread. This would be best location: https://priuschat.com/forum/gen-3-prius-care-maintenance-troubleshooting.97/ Look for blue "post new thread" button, in upper/right corner of page. :)
Mr. Mendel I installed a new master cylinder because changing the booster pump and accumulator did not prevent the pump from running every 14 seconds. Now the new master cylinder emits a chirp [sort of a whoop sound] most of the time when I touch the brake pedal. Have you run into this problem before ? I think the Toyota dealer should exchange it for me.
Yes, I did all the work myself; brakes and head gasket. I can feel the vibration in the red brake line. I will try damping it. THANK you for your help. Our retirement village has been built and maintained mainly by Canadian SnowBirds !
Replacement booster pump failed so I put the good original back in. In this process, air escaped from the pressure line and the "chirp-whoop-whistle" sound is GONE ! Hallelujah !
Now the fluid level rises 9/16th inch over night. That indicates there is air in the m/cyl. & Toyota Dealership bleed failure. Do U agree ? What should I do ? Car drives FINE 2700 miles.
Hey Chapman this is Bryan from the U0293 post I’m having the same issue again code U0293, I wanted to see if there’s more issues I’m not aware of related to this could the 12v charging circuit cause this?
Jim. Someone here on PriusChat forwarded me your profile, as you're in E. Stroudsburg and know of a certified Toyota Tech. If so, would you mind sharing his number with me? I need to get my blower motor replaced as it's dying. Thanks, Joe
The climate control blowers are not blowing (outputting) any air at all. Don't appear to be firing. That's as of this morning. They might start working again, which has happened a few times. All of this leads me to believe that the fan motor is dead, jammed,etc. The cabin air filter - even if clogged - wouldn't stop the blowers from firing, and I would surely hear them, but, I'd have little to no air coming out.
Mendel you have helped me in the past with my Prius. I need your help again. I have 2013 Prius Plug-In with 20k miles on it. after thw replacing thermostat it started gi=ving warning :check hybrid system stop vehicle safe pace" It seems like something happened during the repair caused it. i t was working
20k miles?? That's the thermostat right next to the water pump (engine coolant pump)? Did you do a coolant change as well? Not sure: check all connections, and that doesn't work turn anything up get the codes read?
