What’s your opinion, is there a fix and is the car worth a fix?Ī. The major hybrid battery was replaced about two years ago and the smaller battery was replaced within the last six months. It was taken to a Toyota service facility originally when the problem was first manifested, and they indicated the dashboard would have to be removed and it was so costly that the car was not worth the fix. When it dried out in about 15-60 minutes, the gauges worked. For about two to three years the dashboard lights for all gauges speed, gas, etc. I have a 2010 Toyota Prius in Southeast Florida with approximately 125,000 miles. This is a common solution with all-wheel drive performance vehicles that need just one tire. The other option and Tire Rack and perhaps other tire stores is to buy one new tire and shave it down to the tread depth on the other tires. Normally you would put the best tires in the rear but in this case in the front. The other option is since your car is front-wheel biased you could replace just two tires and so at least they would match. That 2/32nds difference in tread shouldn’t make a difference. If the three tires on the vehicle are 7/32nds or better, you should be okay. From what I have seen and read as an example, a new tire has about 9/32nds of tread. I was told I would have to replace all four tires because it is all-wheel-drive. It’s a 70,000-mile Continental with only about 10,000 miles on it and it’s less than two years old. My 2012 Ford Escapes rear tire had a sidewall cut and went flat. From what I have read lithium-ion recycling will grow to be a multibillion-dollar business. As an example, the lithium-Ion in the spent battery can be reused and it is actually better than the virgin product. The other option for vehicles with giant batteries like Tesla, the batteries can be repurposed for other devices like power walls and battery backup systems. Batteries can be rebuilt and have just the bad cells replaced. With all the electric and hybrid cars when after time and the batteries have met their maker what happens to them when they no longer can do their job? Is there a battery heaven?Ī.
My question has to do with electric cars and batteries. What is added to the mix is what changes the flavor. It’s a little like baking, the basic ingredients are the same. So, in one way all gas is the same because it starts with the same basic ingredients, but it is the additives that make it different. There are multiple compartments in the tanker truck and although the base stock is the same the additives are different. And I’ve heard people say their car won’t run on that cheap gas and I only buy Exxon. In central West Virginia, I saw a truck dropping gas at an Exxon station and then saw the same truck right across the street dumping in a convenience store. In the case of the GMC and using a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer the single rear-wheel configuration can tow 21,500 pounds, and the dual rear-wheel setup can tow 35,500 pounds.

Chances are the driver may have a large fifth-wheel trailer and needs the extra trailering capacity. Adding dual rear wheels to a pickup truck adds to stability and more importantly to load and trailer towing capacity. I was driving behind a GMC Sierra pickup yesterday on the highway and it had four tires on the rear axle.
#Windshield fluid sign code#
If it is a PO 420 code and you have checked for engine misfire, high engine oil or coolant consumption, weak or poor spark, lean fuel and rich fuel mixture as well as a damaged oxygen sensor or wiring harness Then this code typically means the catalytic converter needs replacement. I have replaced two sensors, but the code still appears.
My 2011 Chevy Cruze has a code for a catalytic converter issue. And yes, look for washer fluid that will be good to minus 20 degrees.
Yes, you can mix the different fluids, but you may lose some of the “special” features of certain fluids. Some fluids have chemicals that bead water, others are better at removing bugs. All windshield washer fluid has the same basic makeup, soap, alcohol and water. My wife’s car, Kia Soul 2019, uses an orange windshield washer liquid, mine uses a blue one can I mix them, if not what should I do? Also, with cold weather on its way, is there cold weather fluid?Ī.
