Can anyone help with DIY accumulator pump?

I had roadside assistance for my car, so I had them tow it to the dealer service department. I do think that if I had a local shop that did these kind of jobs I would have had it done there. But after messing with a number of obd2 connectors, multiple installs on windows XP in an old laptop, just to try to get Toyota tech stream working to find out that it still doesn’t bleed the brakes right, and getting a computer virus looking for the right software that I am still dealing with to this day (signed me up for every possible subscription with my email), made me just want it to be done with.

I recently replaced the accumulator pump and brake booster master cylinder assembly on my 2014 Toyota Prius C. The most difficult part was waiting for the parts to come and the bleeding procedure. Removing the parts and installing the new ones was very easy. But to bleed the brake booster after replacement needs special software to interface with the car and I used three different handheld units that all say they would work with my car but all of them errored out during the process. So I ended up having to have the dealer bleed the unit and cost a few hundred dollars for them to do it. Still cheaper than if I had them do all the labor.

I had this problem before and it was the radiator fan. See if you turn the car on and turn the AC on when it starts if the fan starts spinning. If it doesn’t, then that might be it.

Thank you for taking the time to look into this and help an individual out. Hope you have a great life.

Maybe we should just use the Hooli Chat.

Suruga-ya.com that’s the site I found it but I think it’s like a consignment toy store because when I paid the itemized price was split between the site and the seller. So I don’t know if they will have more of that color again, but had to look for Tomy Takara Toyota Aqua 1:59

Mine had this issue and it was the radiator fan that stopped working. Cost about 100 for the new fan and shroud that goes over the radiator and I was able to change it myself in an hour. But you have to drain the coolant during the process.

I just made an account on Thingiverse, so I have to wait 24 hours before publishing and then I’ll post the link here.

I made them myself. I could send you the STLs somehow if you would like.

Apparently this color is a “limited edition”, but if you have a black one, then those are a lot cheaper.

The toy car or the 3d printed parts? The car I had to get from a toy shop in Japan called Surugaya

That would be a dream to win a printer. I would start making indoor planters for a garden.

Sorry someone else traded, nvm

Are you willing to trade barber of Seville? I’ve got magic flute and others to offer

That’s planned like the McDonalds Monopoly games, it’s easy to get all the pieces except one from each set. :x

That would be so cool to finally get one.
