What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

Installed the oil catch can and a new PCV valve while I was down there.

 

Since i bought the car last month, so did some maintenance, yesterday cleaned egr cooler (was almost completely clogged, water was barely going through), cleaned egr valve, egr pipe, intake manifold, installed new pcv valve, oil catch can, changed gearbox oil and installed back HV battery after DIY reconditioning, didnt change any cells, just discharged and charged 3-5times depending on the results. Dr.prius app showed life expectancy 42% before, after 74% (dont know if its accurate). Today did some soundproofing, just 2 front doors, but it makes a difference, planning to do back of the car since i got some materials left. I think thats it. Didnt do much photos though. and i like fixing the cars

 

Custom shift knob and window tint job this week. (Shift knob is a very good size, comfortable to rest hand atop while driving)

Replaced the doors actuators and installed new radio.

Picked up a new 12 volt recently.
Brand new with a 2 year warranty.
About $75

They did say I had an accord battery not a prius battery.
The battery was the same size as the one I pulled out.
I know the previous owner had recently changed it out.

Got error code C1645, abs lights on.
Went to shop and found out rodent had taken a bite off ABS sensor cable

Mechanic was kind enough to solder and reconnect all wires. Let's hope it works and cost is low.

That was nice of him! Probably cost less also.

 

Could you share more details? Radio model, any special brackets or wiring jacks? Thanks

 

Picked up a new thermostat to replace what might be the original one.

Got it from Auto Zone with a limited lifetime warranty

It’s from Amazon

99% of the features that come with the car work like the steering wheel controls. Everything is plug and play, the brackets are used from the stock radio. took me bout 15-20 min to install. The only thing that won’t work is the back up camera (something about the stock camera is 6 volts and the radio being 12v
) so I had to run a new one.

 

One more thing, you will need a CarPlay dongle if you want to activate the apple carplay.
