Shops says about $8K for an engine replacement as used engines are hard to find and may have same issues. I see the JDM engines on ebay for $1500,...
Not sure I understand. If they replace the failing gasket and machine the heads, won't it be good? It runs well after the start. Doesn't overheat....
I told them new head gasket. The local mechanic saw coolant in the oil. It's had the cold start knock for a year, various fixes were tried (new...
Did you get it fixed? Where? How much? I have a 2012 PriusV with the same issue, Leo & Sons quoted $4500 over the phone, seems high.
I was using standby to mean the mode where you press "Start" twice while your foot is off the brake. No "Ready" or charging but dash lights all...
So my battery seems to hold a charge well for a few days at least, it's ~12.5V with the car off and dome lights on (~1.5A). But when I put the...
Wrenched my knee good pushing a stuck car when my foot slipped out, surprisingly it was not my Prius. I know the old and cold sound, I made it....
I didn't really check much on the old battery - it was ~4 years old, and after needing a jump start after not being run for a couple days on...
Sam, yes I get that 14.9V is charge voltage, and I agree its too high for continuous charging. I have checked the battery with a DVM countless...
What app is that from? Torque doesn't show state-of-charge as a sensor that I can see...
No, not out of the woods yet... Let the car run 4 hours yesterday, charge voltage was 14.9V, charge current started high ~8A but dropped off to...
In standby the current draw from the 12V battery is about 8-10A (no lights, no audio), is that expected? Is there a place I can camp on to the...
RJ, thanks for all the help. The clamp on meter seems to be thrown off when very near the battery even when properly zeroed, I wonder if the...
If the computer does get power cycled, are there any funky unlocking steps needed? Or just the radio memories, phone pairing and emissions sensors...
Whoever put the interior fuse box there should be shot... I took a look during lunch but its almost impossible for me get to with doing injury to...
Yup I did the same math... I am using a inexpensive clamp meter, but I have bench tested it and its fairly accurate at 1A, and useable down to...
So as expected the dealer tested the battery and said it was fine. They said it would cost $260 to test/troubleshoot the charging system and...
Car is back at dealer that replaced the battery. We'll see what they come up with. I listed the drain, battery test and charge voltage as issues....
So the battery is only 2 days old at this point, newly installed at dealer. I left the car in "ready" all morning for about 4 hours. Charge...
Checked it about 2hr after I drove it, was at 12.4V in standby, 12.1V with headlights on. Still went to 14.9V charging. If the sticker says charge...
