Separate names with a comma.
Coming back to this thread; I see my reply doesn't make complete sense. I was reading another thread where a member put a hydroxide (sodium or...
Back in the days of NiMH phones, I remember the advice to drain it to empty, and fully recharge it, every so often, to bring capacity back; the...
You have probably already found this, but, the master warning light / red triangle of death comes on when the car is in drive and the driver's...
P.S. I don't know the details, but the module with the dead cell (where it went to purple then fully charged again) shows that the dead cell is...
They are great cars, and secondhand transaxles are dirt cheap, simply because they fail rarely - there is an excess of 'good' engines and...
Actually, I see you fixed it! Did you manage to use the old battery ECU, or just use a new one? As it looks pretty well corroded!
As a note, instantaneous voltage swings can be related to HV ECU problems. My my one burnt through the connector, it would swing from +14 to -14...
I'm sure it is already mentioned, but do check the engine oil regularly; these cars do (or most of them do) use oil - cleanly burnt - to enable...
It would be awesome if, when you get a chance, to get a pic of the cells and upload it here. Admittedly it requires a lot of dismantling to get to...
I've carried full-height fridge freezers, replacement VW engines (not for *my* cars!) and many other things - these cars are awesome for shifting...
I just re-read your post... The bus-bars with corrosion associated with the corroded connector / pins... Will you refurbish them? If not, I would...
I would be very happy to open up the ECU! I will send a PM (I actually am going to look at an ECU or two that strawbrad has - I have been so busy...
Please post pictures of the voltage connector corrosion on the connector, ecu pins, and the state of the ecu itself when you open it up...
I wouldn't actually do it, but, I imagine something like a Leaf motor connected to a diff for the rear wheels. It would need another battery, a...
[MEDIA] (Am about to watch - Car Wizard examine a Corolla, but finishes teardown of Hoovie's NOSed engine. Given that the cylinder head and the...
Tetraethyllead is interesting as if has hydrocarbon and metallic structure. Lead is still concentrated in hedgerows etc by many roads. Now,...
The Prius is up and running again from the latest video, and it would seem the transaxle survived. MG1 is tougher than I thought! (will put link...
I agree you have made a good choice; there are still things that can fail, but there are many spares available. I saw somewhere else that...
I don't know if this is to me, but it might be, because my idea of using a small 7AH battery for the 12v is ridiculous - exactly the reason I...
I think the flack is due to it being such a contentious topic! I am probably very guilty as I drive my Prius daily and my Leaf is just parked up,...
