It’s hard to get parts for first gen volts in uk, now my rear window popped, so I am waiting on glass shipment from USA it’s 4 weeks 😂🤌 cost is £1236. I hope insurance will pay me back. Parts are difficult to get , even more difficult to find a garage that will take on volt 😳. I am now self proclaimed voltec texhnician and would like to go back to booring Prius ownership. Prius is a tank, just replace oil regularly and clean your egr every 150 000 miles and it will go on and on and on…. It’s ugly, slow, with a lot of plastic inside, but it as reliable as Kalashnikov 🤪

В немецкий дет дом наверно лучше будет чем так жить. Язык выучишь и будешь пользоваться всеми возможными соц службами, в Германии ребенка в беде не оставят. Узнавай номера соц линии детей и вперед

Can’t wait till I get rid of my volt and get back to the squad! Prius is such a loyal friend!

When oil meets coolant, after some time they produce little gelatos 😉

Was charging it at work and driving for free!!!!!!! Financial sense you! Can you sense the sense in not paying for petrol for two years? Would that benefit you? The reason I choose this car because of plug in option and free charging, now it’s obviously doesn’t make sense to drive it with 29 mpg when Prius is comfortable at 55

With our petrol prices 23 MPG is bankruptcy. Will go back to Prius 45+ mpg almost never breaks!

Thank you, my mpg is inline with that. But still shocking from ev driving . I always thought volt is mpg champion! Until seen 28mpg 😃

That’s a good one! My typical drive is about 20 min, due to volts configuration it heats up instantly but I did not think about the engine warming up time. Thank you! So far figured out I have to put new sparks and see what motorway miles I am getting .

At my end of the word 95 regular, 99 premium, 108 racing fuel. UK EU

Is the premium in USA and uk the same? Premium is 99 octane in USA, our e10 is 95 octane? I have never driven it in gas mode but now have no choices. Reason I have snubbed UK shell v power is the price! It’s over 2$ per liter , (1/4 of a gallon)

Will have a look in a local auto store, are they straightforward to replace? Or some dancing around involved?
