great to read of your avid DIY history, God bless

Hello Mendel. I know you have provided some good information that looked like it came from a Gen2 shop manual. Do you have any insight into the kind of grease that is used inside the Gen2 steering rack? I am going to attempt to take off the boots and grease what I can get at. Local dealer did not seem to have this info.

Hi Mendel, bought the ctek 4.3 and was confirming where to hook up the negative end of the harness with the comfort attachment. Is it okay to hook it to the negative bolt or does it need to be hooked up to the part attached to the body of the cars grounding bolt? Also do you leave yours on continuously or disconnect once fully charged? Thank you

Where can I obtain an official Toyota repair manual for a 2020 Prius prime

Thanks so much for the response. I think I’m in the “final countdown “

Hi Mendel. In a 2021 post by Ilovegirls about head gaskets you explain why coolant blows out the coolant reservoir. Very helpful thank you.
I have coolant blowing out the reservoir consistently on my 2013 PriusV (237,101). Bars & K-Seal have worked since about 130,000 mi. Question- Is this the “death rattle” or are there bandaids that will extend the life without a full head gasket repair?

Hello Mendel. In one of your posts, you suggest that people send you a message and you will send back a link to a service manual. I could really use the service manual for 2ng gen Prius. Thanks very much! Lynn Kasdorf

Hi Mendel. I would like to replace my valve stem seals and need an in-depth, step-by-step guide on how to do this including part numbers. Do you know of any threads or videos that show this? I can't work with a general overview of the procedure. I need specific instructions. Many thanks for your help.

Mr. Leisk, is there a video on how to fill transmission fluid from above as you have done? thanks... CR

Hi Mendel,
I am considering a 2013 PIP with 58K miles. I am a DIYer, can handle EGR.
I will check the battery and test drive.
Do you have any other advice? bisco recommend not buying any Gen 3, so I'm wary.
Thank you,
Lee

Mendel you have regular Email mines [email protected] get in touch I've done pictures of my gen 3 intake w 240 or so K miles on it . I can almost push a ball point pen through all four EGR ports in each port of intake . But HG failed and very quickly too .

HI Mendel, thank you so much for the PDF guides for the 2016 Prius! Helped me change my oil for the first time on this car. I was wondering, do you have any of the PDF manuals for changing the engine and inverter coolants?

I'm not sure if this is the best way to ask, but you seem to be very affluent with information on the 2010.
I'm looking to block my grill in CNY right now in the winter. If I've read right, I need to keep the upper grill on the driver's side uncovered. Do you know if that's accurate? Thanks so much!!

I have a question, so my gen 2 is little louder than use to be and according to my research it looks like the crankshaft bearing is the culprit so the question is what I should do in terms of how to deal with this, can i keep driving like that, can this be fix or do i am about to need a new engine, any help will be highly appreciate

Mendel, my thanks to you for your many helpful comments to my PriusChat postings through the years. Can you suggest where I might find a pin-out diagram for the MAP sensor on a 2010? I'm trying to trace an open ground lead problem (P0108) using a wiring sniffer tool from my office.

That's it! Thank You Very Much!
