After some comments about the outrageous cost of head gasket replacements in other threads, I jumped on the website of a well known SF Prius...
If the cooler is clogged you can bet there's likely a ton of junk in the EGR pipe going back to the exhaust. I replaced my EGR and cooler, cleaned...
If you have the Prius's knickers off (the under tray), the lower EGR nut is very easy to get too from underneath, especially if you have a...
Mjoo, A license plate would be useful. Whilst a dirty EGR isn't the best, nor is a goopy PCV system, I suspect that being stopped by the cops and...
Thanks for the offer. My 2011's EGR and cooler are no longer the original, as is the intake manifold. They were all caked solid with thick oily...
There's a weekend project! Maybe it could be said that the Prius killed more cats than Pope Gregory IX. The latter has been suggested as a cause...
100,000km? That all? If I was ready to get rid of a car at that low of a mileage, I'd never buy that brand again. I'm at ~408,000km for the...
I find it hard to believe that a head gasket swap in a Prius costs more than a head gasket replacement in a Scoobydo, given the location of the...
My 2011 Prius hasn't seen a dealer since I bought it used. The prior owner had regular services done at the dealer and this may have been initial...
I have an exchanger that is completely blocked that is waiting for a long soak in Purple Power. It'll be interesting to see how long that process...
The difference in time between opening the hood and taking the intake and manifold out and moving the car to a level surface and getting it on...
[ATTACH] The PCV is about $10 or something close. The manifold was just under $300 from what I remember. I don't know what labor would be for...
If that puddle is normal, especially the milky residue, then maybe both are indicative of a design that promotes overcooling of the engine and egr...
When it comes to cars, I'm not the kinda guy to leave a big oily, chemical, slightly milky mess in the "bowl" at the bottom of the intake...
The goopy/milky "puddle of doom" in the bottom of the intake manifold and the PCV tube with the same tell tale signs. Replacing the valve removes...
Why, because PCV's fail at some point. I'm on number 3 and each one gets about 80,000 miles. Part of the reason my be engines with slack...
I have a 2011 Prius with 253,000 miles. Most of those are commute miles with a mixture of 80+mph and crawling at a few mph in SF Bay Area traffic....
[ATTACH] I find it funny that someone that says "The valve is a major PITA to remove. Very little room, and you cannot unscrew it by hand since...
Funny how you disregard the service manual when it comes to replacing the valve but chose to selectively point out that I didn't follow the...
That gasket, even after 5 years and 254,000 miles is still in great condition and is reusable. I only did the cleaning on the manifold because it...
