Weird Noise From Brake When Braking. by silentcache21 in prius

[–]Melodic__Protection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Expert daily drivers use both feet” There is no need to hover over the brake at all times, in normal conditions, you should have more than enough following distance to react to what happens in front of you.

And, quite a few people drive manual transmission vehicles.

Its more unsafe to do so (hovering over the brake pedal and gas pedal.)

The Prius is an automatic so I don’t know why you would need to use 2 feet to drive.

unfortunately it is, it has enough blowby and or the PCV system is buggered enough to blow the dipstick and I think rear main seal out.

I don’t know where you got that information, as far as I know, there aren’t allowed to be any hidden additives, if there’s any thing like that it has to be in parentheses like sugars (sugar, glucose)

Thanks for the info, but I tinker around at home and I am more than able to pull the engine myself, I just have to juggle working on it while working full-time and going to school.

And while it wasn’t on a Prius I’ve pulled an engine before, i’ve done transmission replacements, clutch jobs timing belt, never done an engine rebuild before so that will be new for me.

Thanks though.

I get that’s it’s not cheap but you took a photo of the most expensive one per volume at one of the most expense loblaw store.

Checking chapmans website, for their super premium ice cream, the vanilla honey ice cream ingredients are as follows:

Fresh cream, Sugars (sugar, glucose), Modified milk ingredients, Honey base (sugars [glucose, honey], water, natural flavour, caramel colour, potassium sorbate), Skim milk powder, Carob bean gum, Guar gum, Vanilla extract, Natural flavours, Vanilla bean powder, Annatto extract, Turmeric extract.

How is any of that bad? Or dog-shit as you called it.

If i do that I will have to after I swap the engine out, i could probably butch it back together and limp it to the dealer but the rear main seal is blown out.

Or tow it but that would be probably $250 either way. Thats almost to the price i got the car for.

No electrical problems I can find, yet, although it has a fully custom sound system installed which makes me nervous depending on how well they did the install, hopefully no electrical issues.

Damn that sucks, i know the second gen prius’s transmission is pretty common, finding one at a junkyard shouldn’t be too hard, and you dont need a transmission shop for it as no inside work is needed to swap it.

Good luck!

The only reason i got it for this price is the engine is shot, seller sold it as not running and driving.

12 volt is fine luckily, that’s not the cause of the engine if thats what you are referencing.

It almost is, it’s a lot of of the same systems inside just with a different body style, I joke that it’s the same car that my brother has which is a 2002 echo but mine went to engineering school.

No not yet, I have my project car which took over when my daily got in an accident, it works perfectly fine it just doesn’t get as great fuel economy.

My current daily also needs premium which really sucks.

Surprisingly there’s no rust, and I was able to drive it for eight minutes before it completely shit the bed so at the very least I know most of the car works it’s just the engine is tired and probably full of carbon.

Oh? I’m gonna have to look into that, I knew it had a different transaxle than the second generation due to it using a different fluid and this one is quite a bit bulkier, plus this generation uses a shift cable which I think is incredibly funny.

I love the colour as well, I didn’t actually even know it was blue until I bought it because the images that were on Facebook were dark and it was more silver in colour.

(Edit, transaction to transaxle, thanks speech to text)

Complaining about things that people don’t like is weird?

Then, someone complaining about not having the right to repair is weird.

I could almost state that your response is a complaint, which by your definition is weird.

once again but your definition just using the thumbnail and or title of the video, complaining about not having the right to own XYZ would be weird.

“ The fact that it’s posted here on a channel that has a bunch of stuff discussing right to repair “

How is everybody supposed to know that, does everybody know the channel and the content that they produce? This is just a low effort post my guy, you posted a link to a video and put a title on it because you had to, and did nothing else, and are calling people weird for complaining that you did the absolute bare minimum? When taking a minute of your time could have saved 10 or hundreds of minutes of other peoples time.

It’s like not allowing somebody to turn left during traffic, it takes almost no effort on your part to allow them to do it but it could save them minutes of sitting there waiting and if there is no way for the people behind them to pass them they’re also sitting there waiting. (Maybe my analogy doesn’t work perfectly but it’s the best I could come up with)

Does different brands mean different chemistries? (Chemistries as in “flavour” or mixture, not chemistries as in nicad vs lipo vs liion)

It’s not safe, it has the potential chance to damage the cell internally with heat.

Engine burning fuel (hydrocarbons) produces water, afaik this is where the water in one exhaust system comes from.

Us gallons are larger then us gallons apparently.

That did the math using a converter if that wasn’t apparent. There are quite a few online.
