2010 Toyota Prius... in multi-day process of doing a head gasket replacement. I am on Toyota Techinfo site and can't even find out what it is...
So then I have to wonder... what was T-SB 0012-10 about? (The TSB where Toyota was replacing intake manifolds and EGR pipe gaskets.) But...
So in theory, if your theory were to be occurring, then my coolant level should drop over time? Or are you suggesting "boil to vapor" in one area...
The only problem with this is that while I do plan to replace the engine with a 2016 Gen4, I don't want to replace anything else outside (i.e....
Good catch (pun). I photoshopped the face from the scream in there, because I felt the same.
Good point. I'll get one of those OBD bluetooth dongle things for Torque app and measure all the temp points I can with and without the coolant...
Have you ever been in one of these Gen3 Prius's while they were shaking and misfiring? Not sure how it could be much worse.
Could it be... these mysterious stumbling issues that Toyota has been chasing down. Could some of these failures be caused by faulty coolant cap...
So here's where I was.... I was ready to keep adding coolant ("cheap" ZEREX ASIAN red at this point -- because like a 1/2 a pint a day was going...
[MEDIA] Just ridiculous. It works. I'm not sure what it means, but it works. I think it obviously isn't solving the underlying problem, but if...
I've been on track for Gen4 into Gen3 engine swap or minimally a head gasket replacement in my 2010 Prius V. It's been stuttering and stumbling...
Exactly. You could always ask Acustrip or others if their special ph testing technology is patented or somehow different than the $5-$10 PH...
I'm relatively close to your area. What shop did you use and what did they charge for this? Thanks!
300k miles? I'd suggest driving it around on a vehicle trailer pulled by a Gen2. These Gen3's are the worst.
- The 2010 G3 has not run without coolant that I'm aware of, but then again as mentioned - the reservoir may have been empty/very low. (no...
Seems to drop pretty quickly. YES.... the oil smells.... like a solvent almost. Faintly like gasoline, but in a "burnt" non-flammable sense. If...
I'm think going to get one of those HD inspection cameras that connect to your phone/tablet and see if I can have a peak inside the head from the...
Replaced coils today.... problem is 90% better. It still does the stutter for about 1-2 seconds on a cold start or short-trip start, but...
Make sure you note that it is experiencing the symptoms and have them document your request for them to repair it in their system.
Put it on a truck and sell it to someone in California.... quick? :)
