Relube front tire caliper pins, no lube left after 89k. Now no more pad(s) making loud squealing noises. Won't miss smashing the brake pedal for pads to disengage from rotor.

Many thanks to Raytheeagle and SFO for their expertise and helping me resolving this matter. Got the invite to drop by at Raytheeagle's beautiful home, and SFO was there to assist. Always appreciate the contribution and knowledge they continue to bring onto this forum.

 

I guess that leaf may have been contributing a bit to the noise.

Glad it worked out.

Until next time .

 

Made my own plug and play harness. Just waiting on the last ballast which hopefully arrives this week and have these babies installed by next week inshallah. Going to clear wrap them ASAP!

 

this is my next project, chaning my 2011 LED to these facelift LED lights. Wouldve been awesome if someone started making these face lift headlights with a lightstrip underneath the projectors as the Prius G`s got. Just as DRL`s

 

Got my new smoked valenti`s today, cant wait to put them on the car. 10-15 Prius Hybrid XW30 Valenti LED Tail Light Hatchback ZVW30 Toyota Smoke | eBay

 

I've been shopping around for this myself, where did you get the harness? Or did you already have fogs installed?

 

The harness I just made myself. It’s wired to a generic switch that fits in the same spot an OEM switch would go. They do have a halogen one on eBay that’s all plug n play that comes with everything but I wanted the led ones.

You can do one of these kit. Hit up Hybrid Pit and they take care of your installation. I have that on my Prius but different fog light lens.

Follow up:
It was really cold the night I curbed the tire, I left the car on ready to keep the heater going and noticed that the engine was misfiring, when I got back into the car, of course the TPM light was on and the CEL right beside it was on also. I drove the car again today and several times I noticed the misfiring when cruising, not noticed when under load. I had never had any of this before the jolt from the tire curbing, been too cold here to check anything but anyone got any ideas what this might be and why it started with the bump from the curb? I'll see if I can pull the CEL code.

 

Pull the code and let us know .

If misfiring I would bet it is the P0301 through P0304.

Done the egr circuit cleaning yet ?

 

Ended up changing out the 12 volt battery today.

Bought the replacement from Autozone for $181, but got it down to $141 after discounts and in store gift card.

Charged it up prior to introducing to the Prius:



The old one served us well since August 2009 (manufactured 6/17/09):



Hoping for another 8.5 years out of the new one .

 

Solid run with the old battery, 8 half years. Now on to 510 crankin amps!

 

What was your tire pressure on the bust tire (best estimate) when the curb took it?

 

Running 40psi in front, could have been down a couple of pounds due to the cold.

 

Now on to a wasted 510 crankin amps!

FTFY

The Prius does not need the high cranking amps of a traditional 2 volt starter based car.

 

P0301 and P0303, still baffling that it just started with the jolt from hitting the curb. Codes cleared, but I'm sure they'll be back.

 

wait... do u feel like the car suddenly starts vibrating and stuff to? like... it feels like the engine is about to turn off or struggle to stay on at low RPM`s? if so i would believe its the EGR circuit thats blocked or some... my dads 2013 Auris Touring sports hybrid did that when we just bought it to. The EGR circuit was blocked aswell as the crankhouse ventilation.

 

Hopefully it hasn’t started eating coolant yet.

 

Magnus, I'm sure the EGR system along with the intake needs a good cleaning, just waiting for warmer weather.
Ray, no sign of coolant loss yet, but will keep a close watch, sure hope that doesn't show up.
