bisco

Hi there again. Two weeks have passed and I got some brake trouble codes today. They went off after I stopped the car and haven't come back on yet just driving back and forth a few car lengths. Would you be able to take a look at my thread on it please?

Hi Bisco. Sorry to bother you. Would you be able to look at my post on leaking brake fluid and offer any advice?

I sent a note to the moderator about a duplicate post. I also asked the moderator how they are doing.

Bisco you can probably identify this issue! I have a 2011 Prius and on January 20th of this year, this loud hum noise started http://link.www.ridesharedriver.blog/Prius_hum_noise. That is from an instant on the "Shotgun seat" While I am driving on Interstate 275 in Tampa, FL. The noise is very loud in the car. When I get over to the left or make a left turn the noise goes away.



Thanks,

Rideshare Sean

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Bisco, Glad you're still around. Ordered Prime over a year ago for marathon trip across the country. Selling 2017 Prime when get new car. I'll try to sneak by and say hi. Visiting bunch of family in N Carolina, Florida, Texas, God willing and creeks don't rise, health holds out, hurricanes & fires stop, & crazies stay off roads. Take care, play my music, and enjoy yourself,

So what is up with your car buddy All this shaking and carrying on?

I did a lot of editing while writing this post, but missed removing (can hardly even call um hills)

Those regen observations to me makes it seem even harder to get back into the usable EV range. especially on multiple smaller mounds like the ones around here, after running out of EV range all together. Was how I wanted-it to read.

Hi Bisco, could you please have look at this thread? https://priuschat.com/threads/abs-brake-and-traction-lights-on-with-codes-c1252-c1253-c1256-c1365.240159/

Much appreciated.

HI Bisco. So because I'm busy and a super planner. IF the day comes in the next 2 years where my GEN 2 gets totalled and I need a car in a hurry and cant get a BEV I might have to get a PIP. what is the last year of the Gen 3? 2013? I know Gen 4 it became a Prius Prime. and instead of spending 26K on that I'd rather spent 36K and buy a Bolt. So If I do buy a quick PIP with a 19K budget what would you buy?

I’m in your neck of the woods working. Did you order a BZ4x? I’m on the fence about it.

Hi bisco! Do you have any suggestions for an inexpensive cat converter brand for my gen 2? Ours was stolen, as you saw on my thread about it all. I've tried the search engine here, but some product links no longer work, and some cat's had bad reviews on Amazon or Ebay (they don't work after a few months, etc.). We're in VA, so no restrictions like CA has. Thanks for any help! Roger

@bisco I scanned a Prius a d it came up with c1203 code. What do you think could be the issue. The abs light is on. The break is very had to depress and the brake is not working well. Hope to hear from you soon

Hi Bisco, You had given some answers previously regarding the engine failure on a 2012 Prius V in the Seattle area. The car had the cold soak rattle a handful of times from 1/17 to 9/19 when the engine finally threw a rod. The head gasket leak wasn't diagnosed until late in 2018. I watched the videos from Gasket Masters on the cold soak rattle. Do you have an idea why the symptoms might be so infrequent.

Thanks for the help

Here’s the link to the diagram in the manual

What's that new profile picture you got there? So kind of high voltage something of some sort?

Can a Prius Gen 1, HV Bat. be recharged by rolling downhil in Drive? Or being towed in D?
