r/PriusC

The expensive one has activated charcoal, is it worth it? What’s the difference between the other two? OEM or aftermarket? Bosch makes a HEPA, K&N a washable reusable. Or a $4 filter from Aliexpress?

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Beautiful night in Iowa USA

I turned on the 2014 PriusC Four the other day and got this message…Lit up like a Christmas tree, so I ran the codes. I’ve already checked out the Green Bean options, but it’s also leaking oil in a couple spots (like $4k in repairs per the dealership). Is she worth saving at 194,500 miles? Still safe to drive around on gas-power only (I can feel the battery not kicking in)?? Thanks!

Is my 2009 prius tough🔥? (ik the all black head lights are better there just to dark)

This has been tonight's forecast..

.. now back to your regularly scheduled Reddit scrolling

I installed a CarPlay system can anyone help me figure out why the top display no longer shows my battery flow, and when I go to AC controls, it says check connection to air conditioning or something like that.

I bought a Toyota Aqua 2017 from beforward japan in March with 49k mileage. Checked the battery the guy cleaned it and balance two cells after load test, said my battery is healthy just make sure it stays clean (fan, ac etc). I use 0w-16.

On the first ever tank after I got it , the shipper drove it from the Dar to Dodoma (I live in Tanzania 🇹🇿) like 420km, plus more city driving a week later it got 4 bars left with 572km like on the pic meaning i could get 900+km on full. But the range on the day I filled it up it read 670km only.

I filled the tank like 3 times already I just don’t know if thise range readings are accurate. Like the first tank was economical, the next ones still are but I really want it to read 800-900 range, plus the trip B (second tank) read 21km/l average and 26km/l first time.

Today driving from the station to my place like 4-5kms the dynamic avg kml read 44.3km/l that’s crazy and contradictory to the range the car gives. I don’t sit in traffic on my way to work, my city doesn’t have that much traffic but my daily driving usually doesn’t exceed 60kmh unless I’m going distant places (thrice) or overtaking.

My question is, Should I take those readings seriously?
Any way to reset the range readings for the car to get used to me? I’m planning on using Liquimoly Gasoline System Cleaner just to clean everything and see

Latest upgrade for 2014 Prius C Two.. Long overdue fog light kit! w/LED bulbs

Bumper removal pretty straightforward through commonly available YouTube procedure.

Wiring depends on your kit type*. I opted for one with the most simplified circuit:

POS 12v from driver's side jump start fuse box location

NEG 12v to body

Inline fuse + relay to dash button (button always on - to complement neighboring always on USB port)

*some kits have an additional ignition power POS/NEG circuit to the button for ignition linked power to the button (button on and lights on only with ignition power)

Path of least resistance through firewall onto drivers footwell for behind the dash button wiring is through an existing grommeted hole for the hood release cable. A full-lock turn of the wheel plus a few clips off the driver's side fender liner is all takes to get to that sucker. Pull on the grommet, slide the last mile cabling in to make final connections.

Switch panel on dash is standard Toyota trim clips holding it in under the top dash piece.

Definitely a DIY-able project for weekend wrencher types, shadetree mechanics. Otherwise, if you're in or near Los Angeles and want me to upgrade or work on your Prius C, hit me up with a DM for inquiries on:

I just got this car :(

I have scanned my car with a obd2 scanner and it dosent throw any errors, but when I tested my battery with the dr.prius app its saying my battery only has 9.41% battery life left. How concered should I be? 2014 prius c 4 door with 65k miles

If you can't have enough USB ports, here's a quick 10-minute, cheap and useful mod for those with aftermarket audio systems. Replaces the old, good-for-nothing USB-A + 3.5mm module from factory with supplemental 3A fast charging power for phones, tablets and accessories directly from the included plug and play Y-harness feeding off the existing accessory 12V/120W circuit.

After using basic hypermiling techniques in fairly good California summer weather, I finally achieved an average of 60 mpg since my last oil change!

Not bad for a non-plugin with 173k on the odometer.
