Separate names with a comma.
So, sometimes in my life as a techie troubleshooter I get strange calls. But this was a new one: A local dealership that I've occasionally used...
As they say, "Aha!" Helped out a co-worker a year or so ago. He was complaining that his (conventional) car kept on losing charge, weird things...
OK, let me take a whack at this. First, if I understand this correctly, one takes one's wireless fob and places it near the car. Let's say the...
May as well put on my Maxwell's Equations hat and make a few comments. First: I have my doubts about metalized bags. Once upon a time it was my...
This is one of the things that drives the impatient crazy. On Auto (the normal setting) the Prius won't blow air until the coolant is warm enough...
Let's be clear about the numbering scheme here. From late 2009 to the present we have the Generation III Prius; that's the funny hatchback shape....
Just read through all the responses. And it occurred to me that nobody defined what "adjusting the tie rod ends" did; and, if you didn't know,...
I drive back and forth to Boston at 70 mph from NJ. I get around 45-50, more when it's warm, less when it's cold. Play jackrabbit and you'll get...
And, just so we're clear on all this: A watt is power and is the rate of energy use. So, one Joule per second is a rate of energy consumption of...
So: If you have a conventional car with a conventional engine, and engage in short trips, yep. Bad gas mileage and increased wear. For that...
Just wanted to add something to your diatribe. I've had an occasion or two where I overhauled an engine, from the ground up, and spent some...
It's like this: There are reports all over that the Gen II would get stuck on snow/ice at the drop of a hat. I've got a Gen III; I've been...
Hm. I think I recognize that letter. That's the letter that one got after the warranty was extended. Long before that letter appeared, you should...
Tiffany, Now, that is a pile of horse****. You've got a 2011 Prius; the update didn't show up until 2014; of course your car was subject to the...
Tiffany, odd that they didn't find anything. for something as major as a hybrid check engine, loss of power, and all that jazz, you'd think that...
I'm driving a 2010 III, built November 2009 and bought December 2009. 87,000 miles. Reliable. Things done: Oil door. Got the dealer to replace it...
Not that I have one, but the intent is straightforward. In places like the southern U.S., where it can be 95F (35C) or greater air temperature,...
Well, I'm a-gonna make my argument. Asbestos suit, check. Helmet, check. When one reads about 0W-20 doing a great job in cold weather, it strikes...
Got a 2010 III. I like the Prius; but if there's one serious demerit it's the view out the rear. There's small kids in my development. One of my...
So, you've got an issue. No surprise there. Going back to my rough numbers du jour, there's wild handwaving guess that any given Prius has a...
