After 4 years of good service it's time to let my gen 3 go. Car has been good but this last 6 months the engine is giving me trouble. Engine rattle, burning oil is the main ones. I put on at least 130K miles in the 4 years I've owned her but I replaced it with a 2018 camry XLE 26K miles. lets see how this camry performs. Good times when I got the windows tinted Replacement vehicle with my Accord
Best Wishes!! Be sure and stop by every now and again to keep in touch! Best of luck with the Camry. Let us know what you think of the new Camry!
So I did everything possible to get my prius running correctly, changed egr valve, cooler, intake manifold, throttle body, camshaft position sensor, ignition coils, spark plugs but the engine is still running horrible. So I took it to a mechanic and had him look it over and he told me it might be a rod bearing. so the engine is pretty much junk. So now I have to search for a used engine and pay the labor. This is very upsetting since i took very good care of my prius and had no leaks of any kind. Sad day.
it's having random misfires on every cylinder. as far as head gasket I have no coolant leaks and when I removed all the spark plugs they were dry.
Are you planning on replacing the engine yourself? At 184k miles the cost of replacing the engine might come close to, if not exceed the potential selling price of the car.
