Is there a for sale forum here on the Prius Chat, I am not seeing one. Thank you Mendel. Troy

Mendel 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 a mic 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. What do you think?



Thanks,

Sean

She said she added sealer as the hg noise was bothering her

Look, I'll wait a bit. My left shoulder is "fubar" or " comminuted, compacted, 4 part, fracture of the proximal humerus " to be accurate. It will take about 3 months to heal.

Hi Mendel....this is Bill from Seattle. Do you ever drive south down to my area? I am close to Everett. Would be nice to meet for lunch! I love to talk Prius....you seem pretty knowledgeable. Many years ago I went to a racetrack for a sports car race....I think the track was near Coquitlam or Mission....is that right?

Mendel,
Any Idea where I can find the layout or specs for placing the side door guard moldings on a Gen 4 standard Prius?

Mr Mendel,

What voltage should my 12v be in? I was checking for codes with OBD the other day and my app said my 12v had 11.8v while it was on the on position checking for codes (pressed on twice) not running/started. Let me know if that's too low.

Can you tell me where the AC amplifier is on a 2020 Prius Prime?

You have a 10, would you buy another?
Would you mind looing at my "What to buy" post in Gen II?
BC is da best. Spent time in Squamish this winter. Best compliment I got was that I was the most Canadian American the people in the car had met. I blushed, I love that country. Originally from VT. Daughter in on V Island for a while this summer.
Cheers! Pete

Any thoughts here

Hi Mendel , sorry to bother you but, I am changing the sway link bars on my car. Part number Toyota 4882047030. Are they in pairs or is it the same part for both left and right ? Or are there different parts for left and right? Thanks for your help.

Mendel, news blurbs are stating that the fires from Canada are burning from the west to the east with the east side of Canada affecting the Eastern side of the U.S. Are there fires in the northern regions of where you live? Just trying to comb thru the fiction and facts.

Hi Mendel, I appreciate your comments on my coolant mystery leak awhile back.
My next big task with my car will be to fix the AC system, there's a leak somewhere.
Wondering if you'd be so kind as to share some repair manual pdfs if you have any.
Thank you, Carsten
P.S. I used to live just across the border near Bellingham

Thanks for all the help you’ve given the community Mendel! I could really use your thoughts on my head gasket post when you have a minute

You rock! I'm going to tackle the EGR cleaning process, and I'm going to Menards to buy some tools and didn't know if you had advice on what to buy to help remove the clamps and hoses?

Hi Mendel, 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 Mendel you look like the guy everyone goes to. Would it be possible for you to get a Prius v 2012 model repair and maintenance manual?

I am currently in the process of head gasket replace on my 2013 with about 212k and was wanting a good diagram of the timing chain markings. I always notice you posting links of them (diagrams) through Toyota's website. I have scoured it to avail. Could you please point me in the right direction?

Hello Mendel. I would just like to say how much I appreciate your wisdom and willingness to help everyone on this forum! Read many of your posts for years.
