bisco, that is for Boston, correct? If so, then it is probably close to CA prices.
This is the same service as the 30/60/90/120000 mile services with the addition of replacing the engine & inverter coolants, and the spark plugs....
Jeff, what did it sound like? Based on your sig, you didn't have it repaired but just replaced the entire car?
chefHawk, no timing belt to replace as the Prius has a timing CHAIN. (Click on the word "chain")
Yes, I did. I didn't need one in 2009, but was considering getting the kit for the Optima battery to have on hand. Unfortunately, I dawdled too...
Hmm. I see I never made a follow-up post on my Prius 12 battery. It just died one day in early January 2012. I went down to the local dealer and...
OK, here are the results: Passed, of course. Cost $35.00. I saw that this is the cost for 2000 MY and newer; older is $5.00 more (as reflected by...
True, I've had smog techs tell me that they have checked OBD II cars using the non-sniffer test and they would pass. Next they repeated the test...
Just received my renewal notice and as expected I have to do that joke of a test. I figure it will be even easier than my Jetta TDI since hybrids...

Mendel. I used your schedule and the 2004 service book to come up with a version for my 2004. For 130,000 miles, I just need the oil...
Thanks for that link to the files. I'll probably use the Excel file as a boilerplate and then enter the appropriate info for the 2004 model.
Plan on keeping it until it dies. $2000 is roughly what we paid for the initial steering repair back in 2010. We are actually in a better...
Yes, the 100K service was the most expensive periodic maintenance service. I had the serpentine belt replaced early also. Thanks for the chart,...
The inverter pump broke several months BEFORE the recall (Toyota later reimbursed me for the repair). The steering first broke in November 2010...
The HPFP is only in the 2009 and on TDIs with the CR engine. In 2004 it was the PD design. Another drawback to 2009 and later TDIs is the DPF...
2004 Prius, 11.583 years old What services other than the 5K oil change and tire rotation should be done? Should I just halve the mileage and use...
Yes, I did as a matter of fact if CARB had not banned the sale of diesels in 2004, I would have bought a 2004 VW Jetta Wagen TDI. The "Pry-us" (as...
Haven't been here for awhile, but I saw this thread. We still have the Prius we bought in August 2004 and I have a 2005 Jetta Wagon TDI I bought...
