TMR-JWAP Selling my beloved '08 Prius.. Have an old Window laptop with dongle and some version of Techstream on it that worked fine for repairs. Can you suggest if it is possible to try to put some kind of ad somewhere on forum that would make it available to someone who might find it useful? Thanks for any suggestions.
Hi Donjaun. How is the Godspeed AK-066-D rear upper adjustable control arm kit working for you. Honestly it seemed kind of flimsy to me... so I would really like to know before I shell out the cash and the sweat.
I appreciate reading your posts in expectation of inspection and cleaning of the EGR and intact tract. Just to make sure, you are of the opinion that one can remove the two horizontal studs and not replace them after the job is done? Or just the rear one that is so difficult to get at? Thanks.
I would only remove the lower cooler stud permanently, since access is so difficult. You also do need to remove both the nut and stud at the EGR valve, temporarily, ditto for the bolt through top bracket of cooler, and the two nuts at rear, connecting to exhaust manifold. Since those two side studs are removed you don’t need to remove the studs at exhaust manifold.
3. I wish I had known about LKQ.com a year ago. I think i would have been OK with the new master cylinder if i had bench-bled it, but i was pushed in a corner [pressed for time - had to go visit Family] and had to take it to the dealer to let them bleed it for $275.00. BTW, how do U become a senior member ? After all, I'm almost 83 :-)
2. My 'booster/accu.' was good, but now i have all new. In December 2023 the local Toyota dealer quoted me $1100.00 each, but last month their price had dropped to $750, so i bought new instead of paying only $250 from a salvage yard. If i had it to do over again i would at least try the salvage yard unit - LKQ.com was good to deal with.
1. THANK You, Mr. ChapmanF, for answering my questions. My local Toyota parts man was right when he guessed that my problem was an internal leak in the Brakes Master Cylinder [picture of which you labeled brake booster assembly]. BUT, I thought i might get by cheaper changing the booster/accumulator for only $450 from Amazon. Wrong.
hi @Tombukt2, Could you please share me these techstream FW for Prius/Lexus CT gen 3? :) I would love to try on it and flash it into my car for a trial and share experience on the group too. I've recently changed these egr valve and new intake manifold but seem that I still feel the rough/shaking issue even it's better than before of the replacements. thanks again and have a wonderful night :) Riley (htcmember)
I think I may need a module pack is from a 2020 Wreck I replaced one module because I broke a tab it only lasted 4 months. Is there a way to contact you
Tom, I have a friend looking for a gen 2 . any Ideas on a good used one? His budget is slim...trying to figure what he needs to save? $3K? More or less?
And where might this person be Can this person do anything does he have tools of any sorts or is this just like somebody's kid they need to plop in a car because they need them to go away?
Good morning. I'm not sure if Cromwell, CT is near you but I will be up there working a Golf Tournament. I can bring tools and replace the coolant in your 2007 Prius if you like. Let me know. Ben
The ones I just posted up a minute ago are the latest and greatest from that manufacturer I have the ones previous to this model and I've got nothing but good things to say about them
I was told you could help out with Gen 2 issue c2301, 40, 10 and 581 transmission ecu. I've done everything just not swap the transmission and I've gone through all of the mentions in this forum. I was told you mentioned about a bad ground or loose wire on the ecu a few years back. Thanks in advance
I didn't notice this post until now. The shift control actuator assembly (which engages the transaxle parking pawl) might need to be replaced, which is much easier than replacing the transaxle. Test the shift control actuator by removing three bolts that secure it to the transaxle. Slightly move the actuator away from the transaxle case while rotating it.
If the actuator rotates smoothly then it is OK and you would replace the transmission control ECU. Consult the repair manual which you can obtain at techinfo.toyota.com
