Break actuator replacement.

Hello ! Mr. ChapmanF
On this same subject, We were told by our Lakeland Toyota Dealer 11/3/'22 that our 2012 Prius V-2 VIN# JTDZN3EU9C3105757 needs a brake master cylinder Part# 4705047110 They are telling us that part alone is $1,683.00 ?? Labor = $600.00+
We have purchased parts from the Stuart, FL Toyota Dealer Certified Used in the past for a more economical price and they are telling us that they need the Actual # off of the Part that is to be removed to be sure of the Compatibility of the Replacement part due to the electronics involved ?
The Mechanic at the Independent shop does not want to remove the existing part until he has one that will be shipped to replace the one that he is removing (that we need the Part# off of ?) Is there anyway that we can tell by the above VIN# what the actual part # would be on our 2012 Toyota Prius V-2 ? Or do I just Crap Shoot and order the:

Or the :

Which the above both items from Treasure Coast Toyota of Stuart, FL list my Year/Make/Model as Compatible but this Dealership says to be sure they need that Part # that my Mechanic does not want to remove to disable (the already disabled[had to be towed] Prius) Please Advise as my Economical Nature says to order the $624.99 part and then the Mechanic will pull the Part (then we will have the Exact Part Number) and if the $624.99 part does not work, I will return it and have the Information that the Stuart, FL Toyota Dealer needs to Cross Reference the Original Part # to the Replacement Part # to find the most economical exact match of the Part needed ? Why is this so Complicated ? [email protected] a.k.a. 4-robinsnest

 

No, you can't find the exact part number by pulling the part, because the number you can find on the part itself is not the part number. The number you can find on the part itself is the "mark".

Sometimes, when you look up a part on parts.toyota.com, the listing will tell you the part number and also the "mark" that will be on the part. Here are two examples (but they are for a 2010 liftback, not your 2012 v):


2010 Toyota Prius Brake Master Cylinder. Brakes, Leak, Repair - 4705047140 - Genuine Toyota Part



2010 Toyota Prius Brake Master Cylinder. DISC, TIRE, WHEEL - 4705047150 - Genuine Toyota Part


If you click the first link (part number 47050-47140), you will see on the page MARK=47210-47310, MARK=47210-47140, meaning you might find either one of those numbers on a part number 47050-47140 brake actuator. But looking at the actuator itself will not show you its part number, 47050-47140.

Likewise, if you click the second link (47050-47150), you'll see how that page says the mark on the part could be 47210-47320 or 47210-47150). So sometimes you can match up the mark on the part you have with what the actual part number is, but there's more than one step to that process, and you have to look stuff up.

But a lot of listings in the parts catalog don't even tell you what mark might be printed on the part itself, so you don't get much help with those.

When you look up a 2012 v, for example, the only choice listed there,
2012 Toyota Prius v Brake Master Cylinder. Brakes, Leak, Repair - 4705047110 - Genuine Toyota Part
, does not show any MARK= information for the part.

On the other hand, that 47050-47110 part number is the only one shown when the car you are looking for is a 2012 Prius v.

Can you find any photos online showing an actuator and where exactly on it the "mark" appears? Knowing that, is there any way with a snaky camera or a mirror on a stick to read the mark while the thing is installed?

 

47050-47110 (selling for $1229.99) is the one you need. You can find it for a little less here:
https://parts.serratoyota.com/p/4705047110.html

The other one (for $624.99) bears the part number 47050-47180 and does not fit the Prius v wagon.

 

@4-robinsnest did you manage to find the right part , i am in the same situation dont know what actuator i need .
