Thank you, that's exactly what I suspected. I'll be replacing the coolant pump and calling it good.
As a result of an REMoD revealing a P0A93 code (inverter cooling system performance), I've received quote from the local hybrid shop for...
Thanks for this hint. I've ordered a new OEM Toyota pump off eBay for $85. Going to pick the car up tomorrow morning and have AAA tow it to my...
Yes, that's what I'm thinking. It doesn't look like a particularly tough job. Been reading some sketchy reviews of the cheap replacements, but...
Damn! I thought I was just going to tell the hybrid shop to do the work. [ATTACH]
Thanks for the input. I drove to the local shop. He has a Prius literate scanner and did not charge to read the codes. They are: P0A93 C2318 B1271...
The dreaded Red Excalmation Mark of Death appeared last night. '07 Prius w/ 142k, to the best of my knowledge original batteries. My wife's...
It's possible that the ATF had been changed at some point. It must have been done before it was purchased by the previous owner at 109 k. She had...
Changed the ATF in the wife's newly acquired '07. From the Carfax, it appears to have been the first time. Here's a pic of the old fluid compared...

I just paid $4300 for an '07 with 130k, clean title and Carfax. Minor cosmetic issues and needed tires.
The inspection was not done at a dealer, it was done at an independent shop that specializes in Toyotas and hybrids. I would barely trust the...
Again, I could be wrong, but I thought that was the vent for the 12v battery.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the traction battery cells are vented. As such, it cannot know what the outside air pressure...
I just paid $4300 for an '07 with 130k, clean title & Carfax. Minor issues revealed by pre-sale inspection got me $600 off the asking price. Of...
+1 on that. The difference between an M+S rated tire and one with a Three Peak Snowflake rating is HUGE! [ATTACH] Love my Blizzaks, no studs needed.
This is my approach. I live in the mountains of northern California and have a very steep driveway. My wife has been driving an '06 4WD Matrix,...
It's 42 miles to the nearest dealer, 1/4 mile to my mailbox.
Going over the Carfax for our recently purchased '07 with 130k miles, I found no evidence of coolant or ATF changes, so I guess it's time. After...
The 07 was a big hit Christmas Eve. My neighbor stealthily drove it up the driveway with a big ribbon on it just as I handed the gift wrapped fob...
