I am intrigued by your comment that Gen5 Prius is hardly selling. Can you please explain how you concluded that.
Thanks for doing this, ii is a big help! I would love to have the download link, and "buy me a coffee" link. [email protected]
Traded my 2012 Prius Plug for a 2023 Chevy Bolt EV. Saw a 2024 Prius Prime Premium on a dealer lot yesterday and bought it. I'm back...
You did all the hard work, thanks for taking one for the team. Please send me the link for getting the technical manuals for a 2024 Prime. And where to find your buy me a coffee thing. Thank you! [email protected]
I'd like to have access to the manuals pertinent to a 2023 Prime. My email address is [email protected]
I would also like a copy of the repair manuals for the '24 Prius. Thanks for your effort and supporting the Prius family! My email address is [email protected]. How do I send you a tip via BuyMeACoffee?
I would like to get a copy of the GB file for PP '24 maintenance TSB's and all things. Randy Peterson [email protected] Thansks
Hello, I also have a 2010. She has 235,000 on her. I am hoping for another 100K. I can't help but wonder what a newer Prius might be like in the way of features, handling, reliability and reduction in road noise. If you were to consider a new Prius, what would you choose when viewed through the lens of quality of build, lack of factory issues, etc.? I was thinking somewhere around the 2019?
The base 2019 Prius still has a spare, that’s the only one I’d consider. 4th Gen had coolant leaks in the exhaust heat exchanger, which if neglected to the point of coolant starvation can cause engine failure. That “may” have been fixed by 2019, not sure.
Hi Bob, Hope yours are Happy Holidays! Remember your note:Unable to get your Gen2 into Neutral to get on a tow truck? I'm in a worse position: Key won't start car and its parked nose-in on a gravel driveway with no front or side access for a tow truck. I'm hoping you found a way to get your gen 2 on a truck ? PS For my "wont start" request - try a search for "2006 sks not starting"
Thank YOU for comments ! The whoop-whistle was caused by air in the high pressure line. It's GONE, but I am still not happy with my brakes. The fluid level rises 1/2 inch over night and the brake pedal seems soft. I can press it all the way down to where it "hits metal". Car drives fine and Toyota dealer says it is OK. Have U heard all this before [and solved it?]?
"The fluid level rises 1/2 inch over night" ^ That's normal. If you open the front passenger door, reach across and pop the hood, and then go around to driver's side and open that door, the brake pump will (typically) activate, and if you're quick you can see the level dropping down. About 1/2". The spongy brake could be due to air in the system. That said, the gen 3 brakes booster is failure prone.
Thanks for your comment, Mendel! I figured that out myself during the night as often happens. I'll test drive another Toyota asap and compare the brake pedal stiffness with mine.
What I mean is every time I barely touched the brake pedal it let out this loud whoop-whistle ! Dealer said he had never heard that noise before !
Replaced '13 Prius master cyl. & pump. Had Dealer bleed system but it whoop-whistled when braking. Replacement pump failed so put good old pump back in. As I loosed high press. line, foam & air came out. Whoop-whistle GONE. Was it bled properly? 1: soft pedal can press all the way down when pushed hard, but brakes work fine. 2: fluid level raises 1/2 inch over night. Dealer says ALL is OK. Is he right or will I die?
