Prius won’t get over 30mpg after new engine installed

Remanufactured

 

Reconditioned

 

Greentec auto has them on sale right now for all generations of Prius or any hybrid.

 

Well I guess we will see. That’s why I got the one with the warranty!!

 

Again,we will see. I will be able to tell if it’s just a used battery or not as I will be checking it after it’s installed. If the car breaks down,that’s what I have AAA for. Your talking to me like I’m a newbie to the mechanic scene and I assure you that I am not. I did my homework on this company,did you? And you sound like such a honest person by selling your junk battery on Craigslist. Probably to some poor soul that thought they where getting a cheap good battery.

 

I love how people put words in your mouth. The shop I worked at for over 25 years,if a hybrid came in with anything concerning the hybrid system,the shop owner sent it to the dealer. He didn’t want liability for one of his technicians screwing up the car. We did work on everything else on hybrid vehicles that didn’t pertain to the hybrid system such as suspension,brakes,engine,etc.... If I was an expert as your wise a$$ suggests, then why would I be on this forum looking for help with my hybrid? Your approach to people needs to be worked on. I’m all for comments with knowledge from experience and suggestions from experience. I’m not all for criticism and or attacks I guess you’d call them from people that don’t agree with your decisions. Maybe if you came at me with a “hey,that company sells mix matched batteries and here’s the proof and ohh,I know of a company that I had great luck with” you would’ve gotten a totally different response. My first hybrid experience was my 2020 Camry LE hybrid. I hit a deer with it and instead of using a rental car,I used extra capital that I had and bought a used Prius figuring that it would be a good night time driver and winter car. I’ve had nothing but problems with this car. Yes,I bought a lemon because of my LACK of experience with hybrids So I’ll say that your input is very much appreciated. Your attitude is not.

 

I will be putting 309 miles on it Wednesday night after the new battery pack has been installed. My work takes me up into the Adirondack mountains,daily and these are the hills the Prius is a slug on. The warranty is actually 24 months,but I’ll have over 180k miles on it in 18 months as I drive over 10k miles a month just for my job.

 

Only reason I went with this company is because every battery I found online was over $2000. And most only came with a one year warranty. I will be checking the date codes. Thank you for that info. Luckily I have two other vehicles to drive,as I am now,if they give me a lemon battery. I told the company where I drive and asked what kind of compensation they would provide if say the battery took a crap 160 miles from home and I had to have it towed. They stated that they would reimburse me for the towing charge as well. I’m thinking I should have asked you guys where to get a new battery pack before I made this purchase,but I guess I’ll see how it goes. I’ll keep everyone posted on whether the battery pack helped the slug problem and if I have any issues with Greentec. Thanks guys

 

That $1800 also covers them installing the unit too. And that’s part of the warranty too. If the “new” battery takes a crap,Bob from Ohio has to drive his happy a$$ back to upstate NY to put another one in and all I have to do is watch him. That was the other reason I went with this company. I really hope this decision doesn’t bite me where the sun doesn’t shine.

 

Engine is new. Like brand new. The intake has been totally cleaned as the Egr tube has been too. The Egr and Egr cooler are brand new. This car has just been a lemon and with what I have into it,where do I stop trying to make it not a lemon?
