I'm a mobile mechanic, I'm not the owner so I'm only able to relay what was reported to me. I was asked to take on the job of a head gasket on a...
A few years back Mendel and ChapmanF were involved in discussions on bypassing a gen 4 Prius exhaust heat exchanger. I performed this mod in...
like denying the gen 4 heat exchanger coolant leak?
What happens if you search ‘gen 4 Prius exhaust gas heat exchanger repair’?
how is the coolant level? some gen 4's develop leaks at the exhaust heat exchanger
What years did the heat exchanger issue affect? Was it only the early Gen 4 models?

no argument that overall, toyotas are the most mechanically reliable cars on the road. gen 4 does sound like a good one, other than the coolant...
What's weird is gen 3 had the exhaust heat exchanger too, and theirs never developed any special reputation for springing leaks. Something about...
My 2017 has never leaked. Makes sense to put the heat recovery downstream from the catalytic converter. I never looked into the details....
i have 86,000 on my pip, 30k only on the engine, and i'm aready having problems. but we don't know the exact cause on gen 3, and we know nothing...
