There's different levels of "bad for the planet". Tobacco and cyanide are both "bad for your body", but if I had to pick one I know which I'd...
It's all relative to what you're used to. My gen4 Prius is significantly quieter than my previous vehicle (a Hyundai Accent).
There will almost certainly be codes. If you want to check them yourself, you can get a cheap bluetooth dongle that plugs into the OBDII port and...
i was surprised when they claimed they couldn't find a leak, a totally empty system means there's a significant leak *somewhere*. hope they look...
I think your prius is haunted. Call an exorcist.
if the pressure switch is tripping without the compressor turning on, it indicates that the system is flat (all the refrigerant has leaked out)....
that's how my mechanic diagnosed my leaky heat exchanger. not sure if he used an extra-long borescope probe, or just disconnected the cat to take...

they could have just stuck a borescope up the tailpipe. if coolant is leaking, residue will be visible.
some part has likely failed: either the compressor itself, or the start capacitor, or the relay that turns it on. if you have a multimeter you...

This is correct. Mine is a 2016 model, with the old design, hence my leak. In 2019 Toyota redesigned the heat exchanger and put out a TSB to...
This is exactly what my mechanic did when my exhuast heat exchanger failed and started leaking coolant into the exhaust. The replacement part had...

Polyurethane clear coat works well too, cheaper and lasts longer than BLO.
i don't mind breaking federal law. is there an easier-to-access wire i could just disconnect?
NINTH prius? what do you do to them??
used a cheap Chinese OBD2 dongle and Dr Prius app to finally disable the annoying beeping while in reverse. now it just beeps once when i put it...
They didn't mention it, and unfortunately I forgot to ask. However I've been driving the vehicle with the exhaust heat exchanger bypassed for the...
