New to me 113k mile Persona, what should I get checked?

well if you get rid of those 17" wheels and go with 15", you'll get maybe 3 more mpg

 

That’s a Toyota dealership? They advocated cleaning the EGR system? That would be refreshing. Did they quote on that? Intake manifold is part of the EGR system btw, should be included in the cleaning.

whats “TA’s”, maybe a misnomer? Maybe throttle body?

 

And what's your expected gas mileage what were you expecting Just curious I would just generally like to know and what are you actually getting this is my car I have a 2013 persona in black cherry It sits here in the driveway with an engine replacement about 8 or 10 months ago and it's rattling like hell almost similar to before it was replaced but not quite It's very tricky we've given up on the generation threes We have two of them here in the toilet We have four generation twos that run daily everyday without incident whether interiors relatively clean one generation two is a work vehicle I don't think we'll be looking forward to the two leader or any of the new ones coming out as they seem to be possibly problematic also so we have retreated to the known.

 

We have a couple gen 3 toilets. They save a lot of water, but don’t flush well

 

Yeah that stuff is very subjective I've had two generation 3's and I've never seen any kind of 51 miles per gallon driving like a little old lady in town 48 49 was about it. On the generation 2 I saw 51 miles per gallon for the first time like 4 days ago after I swapped the battery that looks like it's brand new or recently bought for my old starting to fail green bean thingy that came with the car and that quickly turned to 47 very quickly before my drive was over which the 47 was the rated mileage for the car when it came off the assembly line as far as I understand it.

 

If you've done stuff like oil changes, you could make it through intake manifold and EGR cleaning. More info in first two links in my signature (on a phone turn it landscape to see signature).

120K is getting late in the day, but EGR cleaning is still worth doing. Around 150~200K is when the head gaskets typically blow, but a few have gone sooner.

There are a few preliminary things you can do, without the need to disable the car or remove a lot of stuff. If you're considering DIY'ing I can ramble on about that.

DIY is immensly cheaper, apart from a couple of pro-places (Tampa Hybrids and Hybrid Pit Stop in LA). There's likely a few more, but those two are the only ones mentioned here. Dealerships will typically brush you off, and if you insist, do only parts replacement, no cleaning. That's at least a grand for parts. DIY, I'd only replace the intake manifold gaskets, around $35.

 

That's great I read solar roof JBL car made 396 I think or 386 is on the clock it just started the death rattle and all that this past week and it is definitely got coolant in the number one cylinder just droplets so they can get up there thank goodness I think this would have happened much earlier had the car not been used and delivery service It would have reared it's ugly head much earlier 2:30 somewhere in that thousand miles
