While we're at it, what settings will be lost during the 12v installation? I am aware there are ways to save them, but that adds a level of...
I haven't noticed any dropoff in MPG between my old original traction battery and the recon battery. In this case, almost all local driving on...
Thanks. The recon battery hasn't shown any issue; really, so I am hoping it's not that as I just installed this one in Nov 2017. Tires are at...
I re-read using the multimeter via the jump terminals today, and it came out around 12.8v. So still very healthy, apparently. That said, I went...
I also just tested with an analog Multimeter via the jump terminals, and with the car off, it read exactly 13.0v. Which means the 12v battery...
I tend to agree. And a 4-5 MPG drop has been mentioned as a likely outcome for new tires, so I think this is probably the answer. For sake of...
After the hybrid replacement, there was no drop in MPG until now. Which points to the tires (the most obvious culprit?), or the 12v which I...
Do you mean the initial reading should be 12.4 or higher? (I have it as 12.1 above, which is low). And, to clarify, I replaced the hybrid...
Lately I've noticed slightly reduced MPG in my 117k 2005 Gen2. Down from around 47 MPG to around 44 MPG, nearly all city driving, mostly short...
In 2012 I bought OEM, installed at the dealer. Cost was $307 ($200 for the battery and a steep $100 for labor). Can I buy an OEM battery somewhere...
What is the latest intel on a good 12v battery for a Gen2? I have a 2005 and I most recently replaced my 12v battery back in late 2012, so it's...
Thanks Mendel. I'm not set up to take the wheels off, so I can't really do this work myself. But good info for someone else, for sure. I notice...
Yes - I meant Michelin Defender T + H.
Assuming I did want to replace both the rotors and pads... how are these? $40 for the set, too good to be true? (I wouldn't want to get...
I like that - a low tech solution. And the screeching sound is only potentially bad for the rotors... which the metal is screeching against, right?
Thanks, that makes more sense! I definitely don't feel anything like that. I have a feeling the shop was trying to upsell me on new rotors....
I just had the Yokohama Avid Ascends installed, $330 after rebate. So far so good - will post back here with some feedback once I've put a bunch...
Thanks Paprius. I edited my post; I actually think the pads were slightly thinner, probably between 2-3mm. Do you still think your logic holds? (I...
Hi all, just back from getting a new set of Yokohama Avid Ascends installed on my 2005 Gen 2, and what do you know, the mechanic told me I needed...
I got the Yokohamas. Total was $330 installed by a shop here, after the $50 rebate - which is an insanely good deal; the total on my Energy...
