      I have air bubbles in my coolant system; watched a guy on YouTube, he said to open up temperature sensor, where is that and how do you do, can you send pics?

      Best videos anywhere for the Prius! Need a way to remove a stripped transmission fill plug. Considering drilling it out, with concern of damaging the threads and/or metal fibers in transmission body. Have you guys ever encountered?

      I saw your DIY videos and they are great. I want to replace the engine and inverter coolant, but I am bot sure how many bottles of 1 gallon coolant I need for the job. Can you please suggest? Thank you!

        My prius has 100k coming, and I know it might be an overkill with the pump, but I figured since I am removing the coolant I would just go ahead and replace the pump.

        I've found one of the comment you left for 118K maintenance:

        spark plugs
        pcv valve
        EGR pipe cleaning
        engine and inverter coolant drain and refill
        Brake checks, lube sliding pins if haven't done so
        brake flush
        transmission drain and refill if haven't done so
        engine and cabin air filter
        HV battery fan clean
        and Throttle body cleaning.

        I did all that at except spark plugs and lube sliding pins at 95K

        you don't need to replace the WP, my prius is at 230k and its still on the original WP.

        As for those maintenance I've mention, yes do them all. For the removal of parts for the spark plugs, that's all you can do for those part removal is the spark plugs.

      can you please verify which Lasfit kit you used? Ultra bright or fanless? Please let me know. I really need to purchase a kit ASAP and I want the bright one.
