@koco @jerrymil @vvillovv - thanks for the posts. They reminded me to post back - I had called Dynasty earlier today to ask whether or not my...
Hmmm...I'll ask them what they think about how "renewed" that brake fluid is. Thanks so much.
@jerrymildred @koco Regarding a failing seal or other mechanical component within a failing brake booster, the technician who changed mine out...
Thanks. I do hear an occasional buzz.
I haven't hardly heard a sound out of my car in a few days now! Maybe a tiny buzz here and there, pretty faint. I think it's the "normal"...
I'm happy to report the repair is done - my 2009 Prius (Gen 2) has a new ABS Modulator valve/brake booster/accumulator/actuator (how many names...
Thank you very much for the response. Maybe the P1121 is the code thrown when the valve is bad? I haven't seen that code in the last few weeks but...
@ChapmanF @jerrymildred @koco Update: My 2009 Gen 2 Prius is sitting at Dynasty Automotive awaiting replacement of the brake...
I'm always impressed with people who can handle this type of repair on their own. It's going to cost me about $2350 for a new one to be installed...
Wow! I just watched the video above on the replacement of the ABS Actuator. Definitely quite involved. I need a lot of faith in my mechanic!
And here is a Gen 2 Prius making a similar sound. Sounds much like mine. It's entertaining to read the comments. Everyone was very clueless years...
This is a link to a Gen 3 Prius with a very similar sounding bad brake booster. Ugh. My fate is sealed. [MEDIA]
Oh, well, that makes me feel better about spending $2350......I wish I had a code to go with it. I do want to thank you for taking your time to...
@ChapmanF - I want to add that while driving, it makes just the buzzing sound for about 5 to 8 seconds, then repeats. I haven't recorded while...
@ChapmanF - OK, here is a second video. This particular video is the sound it makes when I sit in the car and push on the brake repeatedly. You...
OK, I put the video on YouTube so hopefully you can hear this. Turn up your speakers. This is the sound it makes after I turn off the car. [MEDIA]
I have the recording, I just can't attach it to the thread. I think only videos from certain places are allowed. I could put it on YouTube, then...
@jerrymildred @vvillovv @ChapmanF - I'm back to square one (my original post). I've replaced the hybrid electric water pump (aka inverter cooling...
I'm replying to my own post because when I had an "event" on Thursday night, I posted that the brake booster failed. But it was not the brake...
@koco - thank you for the comments, they are greatly appreciated. I had read so many comments that Optima batteries aren't what they used to be...
