Just to clarify, the Prius has a hybrid transaxle that contains the two motor-generators. I would characterize it as the single-most expensive...
go to toyota.com/owners and register. Good luck with your search! Prii in Texas seem cheaper than elsewhere. I know several people in NM who...
The TSB that applies to 04-07 quotes 3 years/36,000 miles as the warranty coverage. It's really odd that they can get away with basic warranty...
This is a problem with the inverter cooling pump, P0A93. This part was recalled. You need to have it fixed at the dealership, if you want it...
I think Taylor Automotive is the closest non-dealer hybrid expert to you. They are definitely Gen I experts, having designed a replacement HV...
I didn't see that the bottle was open. They might refund if it says 2005 Prius on the receipt. It never hurts to ask. Somebody on ebay has a...
Please list all services performed on your car other than oil+filter changes and tire rotations -- i.e. there should not have been anything else...
Yes, you want the Super Long Life Coolant. The dealer should let you exchange it, but I do understand that they are not close to where you are :(

A Jetta will not hold up. You already know that an '09 Prius could last 339,000 without major faults, and spare parts are widely available. We...
The IMA battery powers the DC-DC converter. If the IMA battery is dead, then the DC-DC converter will not charge the 12V battery.
Try 0w-30 synthetic every 10,000 miles. Otherwise stick with conventional every 5,000.

The ScanGauge won't show chassis and body codes, as far as I know. If you could set up the ScanGauge to show the hybrid battery voltage,...
This is a good thing since the IMA batteries tend to last only 50,000 - 100,000 miles. But don't forget that there is no alternator, so something...
My bad, I somehow had it in my mind that Bob traded up from a Gen II to a III. I know he still has a I and a III -- and no small amount of...
