Hey All, Wondering if anyone who actually replaces these could advise. I've ran into the dreaded brake booster and booster pump failure and need to buy replacements. Can't really afford new so looking at eBay but most salvaged parts are listed not as the part number but as the number ON the part (not the same for some unknown reason :/). The brake booster pump kits are easy to find used in good condition and great pricing so my question is in regards to the brake booster kit only (aka brake booster assembly with master cylinder aka brake master cylinder assembly). I know nothing about cars or car repair but I am a pretty handy with google so I've learnt a lot recently. The time is running out and I need my car fixed already so I hope you can help me avoid a very costly mistake and further delays and headaches by answering there questions: 1. The part number (MPN) for my model/year is 47050-47260 which I'm pretty sure is the same as 47210-47520 (number on the part itself, I'll call it part name). Can anyone verify if this correct? Both of these are "by the way" questions, not critical but would satisfy my curiosity and/or allow me to find the answers by myself: 1 a. Is there an open access reference that translates MPNs to the actual numbers on the part (part name)? I found schematics but they only list it as 47210L. 1 b. Is there an open access reference which would confirm which part number FITS which vehicles? I get that 47050-47260 is made for 2014 Prius V but am I crazy to think surely some earlier/later models for Prius V or even a regular Prius may fit too??? This ties into question no. 2. 2. This part is listed as model/year specific on all the official websites. 2014 Prius V is supposed to only have 47050-47260 installed as a replacement. However, I ran across some info that for example 2015 Prius V component (MPN 47050-47360) should fit also, Same with Lexus CT200H (part name 47270-47030). Additionally, several salvaged parts resellers list older/newer components as compatible with 2014 Prius V. Is this legit or should I only look for 47210-47520? 3. What are the "Interchange Part Numbers" listed by sellers on eBay? For example, found a 47210-47520. It lists 47210-3315 and 47270-47030 as Interchange Part Numbers. Does it mean these part numbers ("part names" I'm calling name, the actual number on the part) would also fit my car? Thanks for your help!
There are at least two pn for a 2014 v and two different for a hatchback. Each actuator has a computer with software for your year, model and tire size. All have the same housing number. Plus almost all of these things go bad so buying used is a real crapshoot. Considering the hours of work it takes to remove, install, bleed and calibrate, getting the wrong one or a bad one is very possible and would make for a bad week. Might as well bet the money on horses and hope you win. You can get the right pn at a dealer in person or sometimes online if your Google skills are really good. Takes finding an online Toyota dealer. Better to pay the dealer if you want it fast or pay a little less if you buy from an online dealer. Always provide your vin. Otherwise you need the vin of the donor car and cross reference its brake actuator. Then compare to your vin verified pn. Another factor is Toyota sold far more hatchbacks than v’s so be careful if buying used. Another option is to have yours rebuilt. I am sure you googled that and found Hybridpit. Just remove it and ship it for rebuild. Maybe 10-14 days downtime. Then don’t get me started on actually configuring and calibrating it with Techstream.
One of many who replaced their brake actuator/master cylinder/brake booster and either installed the wrong one or did not do the scanner specific master cylinder passage bleed procedure and may still have setup issues as the process grinds along. Linear solenoid valve offset code issues | PriusChat
Hey! Did you ever figure out if the parts were interchangeable? I recently purchased a new-to-me 2014 V, and the brakes went out less than a week after purchase. I also have seen conflicting info about part compatibility. Which did you end up purchasing? I noticed the parts for the 2015-2016 version is WAY less expensive than the 2014 version which is the most expensive of them all, so I am really trying to figure out if these are interchangeable even with some extra programming steps, because we're talking $600 vs $1200. I just messaged a dealer on Ebay that was selling part number 47050-47260 in order to confirm, the listing said it was good for 2014 to 2017 Vs, but when they responded to my message, they said it was NOT compatible with my VIN and directed me to the expensive 47050-47260 part. I am wondering if this is in part due to my car having the Advanced Technology Package? Anyway, I'd love to know what you ended up doing. If the newer parts are somehow compatible with older models of the V, that could save people a lot of money on repairs. It seems like at LEAST the 7110 and 7260 are interchangeable based on the service bulletin from Toyota. It's confusing because the 2014 is listed in both rows of the chart. I don't know why it would be unless either part would work, UNLESS it has something to do with the ATP. Prior years had the ATP option as well though, so I'm not sure if that would make sense. I'm a new user so it won't let me post a link, but you can Google T-SB-0089-20 to see the bulletin I'm referring to. Oh and @rjparker , I appreciated your suggestion about the remanufactured option, but I called that shop and they said they don't do it and never really did. "We did that once and had nothing but problems", they said. "I don't know why it's still on the website". lol.
The 2015-17 brake boosters are installed on a refreshed Prius v. Even those would have at least two per year based on tire size. The highest trim with most of the tech options also has a different sized tire. A v booster has more functions than the same year hatchback even if the two had the same tire size. Your best value is to take the dealer part number you were given* and shop online Toyota dealers as discussed in the following link for this weekends Black Friday sale. You snooze you lose. Best Toyota Online Sale of the Year Nov 26-Dec 2 | PriusChat Different online dealers have varying discounts and parts they sell online. Be sure to include your vin - it’s the only sure way especially if mid year changes occurred. * By the way you list the same pn as low cost and then as dealer recommended expensive. Confusion?
@rjparker I'm so sorry, thanks for pointing it out. The part number I asked the dealer about was 47050-47360. They then directed me to 47050-47260. I did end up buying the part from a dealer online during the black Friday sale. That made a $1300 part about $850. Still awful but I bit the bullet, it needed to be done. However, I am STILL working on this problem. Too much to say here, so I will start another thread. But thank you for your reply.
