Separate names with a comma.
Now that I've thought about what you're saying - I went down that type of logic a couple of years ago. I concluded that the EGR was a symptom of...
Thanks - I'll look for it. Sounds like something I could send my favorite independent mechanic searching for.
Tried it 2 oil changes ago. I thought it helped at first, until I put some miles on it. Same oil usage. I could try it again.
I'm a rare lurker on this group, but did post a couple of years ago about my 2010's (purchased new) excessive oil consumption. This has been...
This is my favorite Prius subject - oil consumption! My 2010 has almost 160k miles on it and has been using quite a bit of oil since 90k miles....
As the OP (never heard that one) - I'm declaring this thread dead and buried. The Prius in question runs so much better with a 1" square piece of...
It reached 93 this year in June. When I went on my usual bike ride I thought I was going to die! 10 degrees with a little snow is the most...
If someone else will confirm what you say, I'll take out the EGR block. It runs a lot better without any stumbling. It has returned to its former...
Update - the Check Engine light came on after 100 miles or so. I'd bet it is the EGR code. It still runs fine. I'm not going to worry about it.
I can almost declare victory over the engine misfire problem! I blocked off the EGR pipe with a roughly 1.5" square piece of thin sheet metal...
I've been driving this car (my wife's car) for a couple of weeks now. I think about the EGR problem while I drive. I have a new theory! We have it...
This is a dangerous question and I deny ever having asked it. I must have read it somewhere or picked it up from a Dodge website. What are the...
Good point about the cooling of the EGR. Now that I've chased through a couple of threads, I'm convinced this is going to be a constant problem....
OK - I've read up on the EGR valve and watched a YouTube video about how to get to it. I'm convinced that is what is going on. PlumbersCrack - the...
Your engine compartment sure is clean! Mine is full of dust and leaves.
I'll give that a try as soon as possible. We used to hope for 400k miles out of this car since our two of our last three Toyota's we sold when...
The oil consumption started around 90-100k miles. My wife mostly drives the car so I just check it and fill it without keeping track of mileage....
Was it solved? My 2010 Prius has had a gradually increasing misfire that sounds like this same problem. I do OK in self-diagnosing engine...
You should move to Wyoming! We leave our keys in our unlocked cars almost all of the time. We leave the engine running on grocery trips when it is...
Update: The damaged Prius in the photo has been driven 5000 miles since the accident. It still runs and drives like new.
