That sounds a bit more like the combination meter problem than a weak battery Did you also check that it was about 14 volts (charging) in ready...
I'm just coming up toward 300,000 km (290k miles) here, with no major failures and still on the original traction battery. :) Yeah, you...
Not a good sign for a "new" battery, however pretty much standard fair for an old worn battery. I've got a 2005 model with 300,000 km that's still...
I tried replacing my 12V battery with a condom, but it didn't work. ;) Ok seriously though, my OEM 12V battery lasted 7.5 years and its...
Just drive it for a few tanks full and then reset the MPG and see how you go. There are several things that they could have done, none of them...
Thanks Rennie. I haven't touched mine yet. I just had a cursory look last time I rotated the tyres. The thing that stood out to my was that it...
I've got a question for Rennie and MickyMatter. You guys both have a broken slide pins, so I'm wondering if this is a somewhat common issue when...
Be careful with this workshop, they shouldn't be replacing the hybrid battery over this. (Is it possible that they said the inverter but you...
Yeah I snapped that pic pretty quickly and it doesn't show the whole screen. For those not familiar with the Australian display, it shows L/100km...
I've just returned from a trip to some nearby mountains and I just had to share this pic of the MFD on the first 35km or so of the journey....
Not necessarily jadz. My Prius gets driven pretty gently most of the time, and my front pads went out (almost down to metal) at 275000 km, almost...
Don't ignore this advice cdGreg. If the invert overheats then the AC will (temporarily) stop working. It's often one of the first warning signs of...
Yeah, auto AC in the prius can be pretty efficient if you don't have the temperature set too low, and your results of 2.9 km sounds about right...
Hi 2005. If you're constantly up around 7 to 8 bars, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but it does indicate that you could probably get better...
Yes, but I think that there may be some kind of genetic predisposition in the family to doing exactly this. :sneaky:
Yep I can relate to that Lectro. My poor old battery now has 282000 km on it (driven a lot in hot weather) and is certainly showing it's age....
Thanks for the info guys. :) That tire rack test shows that it's definitely not terrible or anything in terms of rolling resistance, but probably...
these are on sale (4 for the price of 3) here at the moment and I need 4 new tires pretty soon. Lately I've been using Bridgestone Ecopia...
Yep it could be the battery. But at interstate speeds the battery will also discharge very quickly if the engine loses power for any reason....
It sounds more like a loss of engine power than a hybrid battery problem to me. The codes should tell the story when you get them read. (BTW....
