Hi!2017 Prius I do have a coolant leak,dealer says is from my Exhaust Heat Recirculation System.The problem is that part is quite expensive and if I do it I just want to be sure is from there. How can I test it? I was thinking to bypass the exhaust gas heat exchanger linking those 2 water hoses with a metal pipe . I want to try this only to see if I still have the leak. What do you think about this idea?

I hope you/family are well. I appreciate the information you provided last time I posted. I have 2010 Prius, Base 2 with 25,800 miles. It's 10 years old and need service advice: Brake fluid exchange, Coolant exchange inverter, Coolant exchange engine, Trans axle fluid exchange, HV fan cleaning. Thanks.

Hi Mendel - got the Noco Gen1 Mini, but the dang thing comes with eyelets. My ground bolt is nicely rusted on and the front jump point isn't budging. Alligator clips would've been ideal here. Any ideas?

Hey Mendel, My kid want's to buy a Prius but doen't want one that burns oil. What year are we in the clear?
Thanks!
- Fix That Prius !!!

what is the son driving 3 years after the the last post about the wifes car?
I just finished babysitting a pack and putting the 06 back in service.

Do you recall the guy with his Prius (PIP)? He modded it to tow a small travel trailer. I searched but could not find him.

i'm struggling to find something interesting, and to be honest, the thrill is gone

Hi Mendel would you be able to share the wiring diagram for the Intelligent Park assist ECU for a 2011 Prius? I'm trying to get the back up camera on mine to work with my aftermarket ECU

Hey mendel, I have a wheel question.
I am interested in buying a wheel that is 15x6j 38offset. Would this work on the 3rd gen prius which are 15x6.5j 45 offset.

Never mind. I found what I was looking for.

(FYI: I had to break that up into two messages in order to stay under 420 characters.)

Can you use your Google-fu powers to see if the part numbers match up with the problem cars from the lawsuit in this thread:
https://www.classaction.com/toyota-oil-consumption-defect/lawsuit/
It would be from any of the following models/years:
2007-2009 Toyota Camry
2007-2011 Toyota Camry Hybrid
2007-2008 Toyota Solara
2009 Toyota Corolla
2009 Toyota Matrix
2006-2008 Toyota RAV4
2007-2008 Scion Tc
2008-2009 Scion Xb

Hi Mendel.
I'm reaching out to you re: the oil consumption thread in which I posted yesterday. In past threads, you've provided links that show the old and new part numbers for the rings and pistons in the Gen-3 Prius -- indicating that there was a change to correct the problem at some point (2015?).

Hey, you asked some scandinavian drama shows, try ”The Rain”.

Mendel, I need your opinion on braking system.
On my Prius V 2012 rear guiding pins are seized in caliper bracket. Is it better to remove the bracket and replace the pins only or just replaced the pins and bracket as a unit?
I can not seem to move/rotate the pin, even with a hammer.
