Separate names with a comma.
What size bolt was it? My first guess was that somebody stuck a bolt in the end of some hose to keep it from leaking, for instance when changing...
That was indeed interesting. Is there a similar disassembly of a Prius NiMH battery? It would need to be cut open, presumably, but it would be...
Ever change the PCV valve? One that isn't working too well would (probably) eventually destroy the cat, although I think you would notice it...
I replaced the rear wiper blade for the first time (used car) with an OEM 85214-47010 part from the dealer. ($12.12 with CA tax, kind of pricey...
That's odd. I checked there a week or two ago and everything was sold out. Browser glitch or were there some hiding in the back room?
Well, let's hope so. However, my experience with similar replacement batteries when I owned a 2003 Civic Hybrid was not good. The packs made...
Evaporator leaks seem to be common in the 2nd generation Prius. It isn't clear to me that it is a trivial thing to see this leak, even with dye,...
Translation: outside cleaned, any corrosion removed, and then power cycled for best performance. For all I know these may be as good as any used...
I don't have a diagram handy, but doesn't the inverter coolant loop also run through the transaxle case? Not sure that is the right term, the...
What happened before the car started smelling like gas? Had it just been filled up? Does it still smell like gas? Assuming the car has not...
The formula that matters is: R = rho * Length / Area Where rho is the resistivity of the material. For a thin plating of nickel Length is the...
Might be a state crime in some jurisdictions unless all parties are informed AND agree to the recording. (Not that I ever get a chance to opt out...
I looked and could not find any. (Hardly proof that they don't exist though!) There were some with somewhat ambiguous descriptions, where in...
Regarding the current, here https://projectlithium.com/ it says: I had missed that before, thought it was just more AH, not more A. The issue...
Maybe. The bus bar resistance for copper is going to be on the order of 0.1 mOhm (my estimate), so 4.5 mOhm for steel. I have seen posts which...
Wait, more peak amps? I thought these were just greater capacity, so same peak amps for longer. Never mind the bus bars, how do we know that...
Seems like if the steel bus bars get hot enough to damage the LiFePo4 cells they are probably also hot enough to do bad things to the OEM NiMH...
Sulfuric acid seems like much too strong an acid to just remove a little corrosion. Try vinegar and a toothbrush. The rock tumbler would...
Right you are, steel, not stainless steel. Except maybe in vehicles with tubular frames, like a custom off road buggy or a dragster. Exactly,...
Well, the resistivity of stainless steel is 41X higher by this source:...
