Has Toyota made any progress fixing the engine knocking on the 2010 Prius?

0W40-interesting i know that is the European std. you guys still get great mpg with that heavier 40w oil?

 

Here in Germany Toyota uses 5W-30 (every other time only) or 0W-20 (always), according to manual. Obviously fully synthetic.

 

:z :x :c :v :n :m

 

Mine knocked two days ago on startup only for about 3 seconds...

i took it to the dealer and the said it was the ABS warming up???

haha...that just sounds ridiculous.

 

:/ :-/ :\ :-\ :v o.00.o

 

So as you see I'm struggling with emoticons here on Prius chat . Can somebody tell me some more cool emoticons ? Like "thinking" "not sure" "astonished" and "cool sunglasses smile" etc?

 

There is a sound from the brake system when you open the door and it powers up or whatever it does, but the knocking we are experiencing sure as heck is not ABS!!

 

No progress yet. They have two TSB and it looks like it's the intake manifold that will fix the engine knocking issue. I know because I have the same problem and they only replaced the motor mount and the knocking is still there. Now they won't replace the intake manifold unless they duplicate the sound. Then why did they replace the motor mount if they didn't hear the sound? I even have a video of the engine knocking sound but yet they said they have to duplicate the sound themselves. Deeply frustrated.

 

Call your dealership and ask for the Customer Service Representative. If your dealership has one (I believe all of them should) he or she may be able to help you further. Mine did and I was able to get the manifold replaced.
