2010 Prius CHS (Check Hybrid System) Alert Round 2

Well before all that we need the codes You have every light lit up on the dash apparently I didn't even know the generation 3 2010 up had the coolant heat storage tank but doesn't surprise me I guess. But there will be specific codes for the coolant heat storage tank and anything else that's going on.

 

If the water pump is within price then go for it. Since the water pump failed on the replacement engine, it must have a lot of miles on it due to water pump mileage life. You should join the egr cleaning team and warm up with practice swings. You got more things with the engine coming.

 

Sounds like the fun’s already started?

@chrisscott did they say which cylinder’s piston connecting rod was broken? What was the miles on the used engine; did they disclose?

 

Code P261C is for the engine water pump, not the inverter coolant pump.

 

Do ensure the EGR system is clear of carbon. This entails cleaning every from the connection at the exhaust manifold, to the small diameter EGR passages in the intake manifold, one at each intake port on the head. Repeat every 50k miles max.

I subscribe to an oft disputed idea, that it’s the carbon clogging of the newly-minted EGR system on the Gen 3, that’s causing the head gasket failures.

more info on EGR cleaning in the top two links in my signature (on a phone turn it landscape to see signatures).

couple that with the low-tension piston rings (employed till partway through model year 2014); that’ll do in the block.

 

That's pretty good so in South Carolina USA in the last year or two I don't know when this happened You got an engine from a used broken wrecked American car possibly in South Carolina with 76,000 real miles on it if that's a real thing you did pretty good usually it's hard to find those under $150,000 and I mean you'll be scouring the whole US looking for a US federal engine not an import JDM thing but one here you got you did very well if those are factual numbers If not oh well I don't know but that's pretty good lick especially now the car is 20 some odd years old basically That's almost impossible go to any other car model and try to find a under $100,000 mi engine for whatever it is a Volkswagen Jetta or something popular that you folks used to like be near impossible in the United States to find that engine because we we kill them quick we have 150,000 mi on stuff and 7 and 1/2 years 8 10 12 out you would be buying somebody's well taken care of whole vehicle that they want real money for
