Separate names with a comma.
Yeah it definitely sounds like it just needs a new 12V battery. You should get it done sooner rather than later, as you're pretty much dicing...
MPG goes down as speed increases, so at 70MPH that really doesn't sound all that bad. Other factors like headwinds (or even crosswinds) and...
Yes it's interesting Yamamoto. This is with "transmission" in P so that it's trying not to generate any torque right. My guess is that MG1 is...
Yeah that was exactly what I was thinking too Andrew. It's just pretty deceptive the way they listed this item. It should read something more...
I'd be interested to know exactly what this step entails. Normally this would require reboring the engine and fitting oversized pistons and rings,...
A set of poor rolling resistance tires can easily account for about 5 or 6 mpg loss, so presumably just the two tires can account for half of...
Interesting story mpg1, thanks for sharing. Oh well I guess there's one consolation. The 170,000 miles driven by the "old guy" (actual previous...
That part at least is perfectly normal behavior for the Prius. When you turn on the headlights it automatically dims the multifunction (LCD)...
Thanks for the info jefe. Hmm, that sounds a lot like the combination meter problem. Apparently this was a not too uncommon and often...
Hi jefe. Can you give us a final update on how your replacement (rebuilt) HV battery experience turned out. If I recall correctly, you had an...
Hi DanT. Be aware that some amount of oil consumption is not all that uncommon with the Prius. So don't assume that you'll have zero oil...
Yeah that sounds about right DanT. Unlike in the US, probably not so many used Prius engines readily available in Romania. So replacing the rings...
Yeah I knew that. In the past when I've had head gaskets replaced it always included skimming (machining) the head to make sure everything was...
I once had small local engine workshop replace the rings on one of my cars. It was quite a long time ago on an old Mazda 626 that I used to own....
Yes it's seems to be a little risky if the HV battery is out of warranty, as the Prius does often give some warnings (if you drive it all the time...
Yes, this was my first though when you said it didn't show any problem on your wife's Prius. I'm guessing that your battery was pretty far gone...
Take it to an exhaust/muffler workshop and get another quote. Don't tell them what the dealer quoted.
Hi Bisco. Why don't you try measuring it from the service menu (all three measurements exactly as I've outlined above) and let us know what...
Yeah, from memory the direct voltmeter test on the battery was pretty close to the service menu displayed voltage. Maybe about 0.1 volt higher but...
Well most people would say that my readings are too low and I need a new battery or the wheels will fall off. ;) However those are about the...
