Separate names with a comma.
I don't know about these 'ratings', but I know owners here have spoken. It could be fixed. It's not Rocket Surgery. An owner shouldn't have to...
I highly doubt that would be the reason. Do the math.... Trickling a 12V up to a decent SOC would be X kW's, probably not even a kWh. This would...
1* What does 'properly maintained' mean to the typical owner? Some word of mouth extra procedures? 2* A 'Technical Manual'...? o_O Does the...
I'm pretty sure other manufacturers figured this out. The 12V is monitored, Load Shedding begins at X SOC. When necessary turn on the DC-DC to...
I believe you will get a CEL code with blocking the flow or unplugging the valve. Two different codes, possibly. The system is expecting a...
I would want a SW update so the 12V does not go dead. Is that too much to ask from a modern car. 1. Many EV's will keep the 12V charged when not...
Other than the issue of plugging in your 'modern' PHEV TWICE. I'm sure this takes way more than twice the time to simply plug in the J1772, just...
The module (s) controlling the 12V battery can not have updated SW added? Doubtful.
Are you serious? Can you name a good 'reason' to run the 12V down to nothing ? Can toyota? From here, that is UNEXCEPTABLE. And yet, it seems a...
That battery is toast. Lead Acid batteries chemically die when left discharged. Other chemistries can handle it, but not L/A. A modern car should...
Thanks for awakening an almost 10 year old thread! I recently bought a '19 L Eco. I'm at 240k miles on it. I put ~8k on it since buying it. It's a...
Yeah, the screw comes out a bit then the whole fastener needs to be pried out like other plastic fasteners. Get ready for some gross chit.:eek:...
I agree, which some say is where the imbalance of mixtures in the most clogged cylinders, usually 1 and 2, is where the head gasket problems...
My Gen3 definitely was smoother when I unplugged the EGR valve for testing. When adding light throttle while driving, it just responds without a...
Yeah, this is not a thing with any modern car. It's nice for the driver if it's 15°F. (y) Keep an eye on the coolant level and swing by an auto...
Some old crap had the Big'ol oil fill cap as the 'filtered' inlet of air. It had a wire mesh inside. I doubt there was any measurable lower...
This is so true! With the pcv valve tubing directed to the atmosphere there is NO FLOW of air in the crankcase. The crankcase blow-by gasses can...
Again, it's cool that you're a good tipper to techs! I posted my lifetime numbers. How about yours?
It smells. Just because you don't smell it doesn't mean anything. There's a reason that PCV was one of the first emission controls that became law.
Open Crank Case Venting..... Straight out of the 50's. It stunk then. It stinks now. No thank you. :mad:
