Separate names with a comma.
Yes, well done. Keep an eye on the engine oil level. That car at that mileage will probably start consuming oil soon if it hasn't already (not...
If your meter gives a voltage readout, it may work okay, but I would check it against another meter before using it to make a $200+ decision. You...
If you don't have the capability to lift the car safely for inspection, take it to a shop that does front end alignment and get an estimate. They...
I know exactly what you mean, it took me over a year to get to mine. What finally made me do it was realizing all the time the CEL is on from the...
Cable "stretch" is a bit of a misnomer. A steel cable may stretch a little over its life, but it should not stretch as much as you're describing....
Ditto the above. It sounds like you have a minor engine issue, maybe a tune-up item. Have you ever cleaned the MAF sensor? Also check and...
If you have a lifter seriously out of adjustment, you could burn a valve. That will light up the CEL and you'll loose power, but it won't blow up...
No. As I understand, they're different systems, MAF on air intake, air fuel (O2) on exhaust.
Here is a troubleshooting procedure for the system. It describes a procedure to make sure there is actually a problem with the sensor and wiring...
I don't understand a) why those DTCs don't show up in my manual, nor in a Google search for Prius codes, and b) they seem to denote a wheel speed...
Though it is comparatively easy to bleed the inverter coolant system, it is critical to get it right. Do not drive the car if you do not see flow...
Given the symptoms, it sounds more like the exhaust. Valve noise should be noticeable on cold start. Exhaust noise will vary with manifold temp....
It may be a valve lifter out of spec. Someone skilled with a mechanic's stethoscope may be able to verify that. The Prius maintenance guide says...
And for what it's worth, the fluid in the reservoir that's "the color of honey" is brake fluid, and it should be clear. That's probably never...
Is it definitely from inside the cabin? If so, get someone else to drive and sit back there and listen around. And as mentioned, at least flip...
Good tip about anti-seize on the mating surfaces. I see the temp rating is plenty high. My rears seem to get stuck more than the fronts. Worst...
I enjoy stories like this, even more when they happen to me! Good job.
Yep, check for sticking caliper. Any brake shop can do that, no need to go to Toyota, and it should be minimal cost to repair. Do you use your...
This does not sound good. I'm no expert, but I still think you have an actuator failure and if so, it should be covered by Toyota. Re: the...
Since a new battery will transfer into the '08 when it needs it, I'd say it's a no-brainer. It seems I've heard of batteries available for under...
