Bob some people seem to be able to see a reply to a post and tell which posting the reply was intended to apply to. Is that the way you see the forum? I'd like: a b reply to a c reply to b d reply to a etc I see: a b c d and if a reply doesn't quote I have no clue which message the reply is to.
I'm looking to purchase a hitch mount for a 2012 Prius. Did you install it yourself? Was yours the 11276? I had read that the #11469 does not require trimming or removal of panel, but that is no longer available.
Hello Danny. M. Tideland linked me to you regarding my "limited access" to PM "due to inactivity" Can it be reinstated please?
Message part 1: Mr. Mendel, my 2013 Prius 3 died slowly slowly as if it were running out of gas in the Florida heat on the way home about ten miles out last week. On the way out there had been a warning on the dash: "park in a safe place". I had obeyed, looked under the hood and then continued ten more miles out to a meeting.
Message part 2: On the way home after it sat in the ditch 3 or 4 minutes it cranked right up and took me home but I drove easy with NO air conditioning. I have done two 5-mile test-runs and now the "park safely" and "check engine" signs are gone. A friend's analyzer suggests water pump over-rev. Maybe it is the hybrid water pump ? Autozone OBD says water pump B. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
THANks, Mr Mendel -- first i changed the cheaper difficult-to-reach hybrid pump -- STALLED AGAIN along the highway so I drove slowly w/o a/c to dealer for diagnosis. Changed more expensive, easily accessible main water pump... 4000 miles ago ! ! PS: Toyota could have positioned that hybrid pump in a VERY EASY TO REACH spot behind the left headlight = lots of space there ! ! ! GRRR !! !
3013 Prius now has 214,000 miles. I am considering bolting 3/4" plywood sheet under the car to try to make for a quieter ride. [with large cut for heat from exhaust piping] We can hardly converse on rough blacktop. I already put two layers of 1/2" carpet padding in all the doors and floors, and I sprayed many cans of tar in all the wheel wells and underbody --- all to NO avail.
Yeah I was looking at the inverter coolant pump from below: it's right there, could readily be dropped out, except the fasteners can only undone from the far side. Which entails removing the entire blessed inverter. Very frustrating.
Yeah I think I know what's wrong but I can't type that much 919-892-0363 I'm Tom this has been tried right here at my shop by a Russian kid and I can only tell you what happened
Hi there. I saw in your post that you cut the metal to allow for the seats to fold flat. I am doing the same thing with my 2012 Prius V but I can't access the metal on the larger bench seat. I posted pictures in the original thread. Would you happen to know how to access the hinge to cut the metal on that larger bench?? Thanks. https://priuschat.com/threads/rear-seat-modification-to-fold-flat.253244/
