I used toyota coolant for the refill and used a lisle spill free radiator funnel kit to bleed it. Use your other hand from the water pump side (that is removed) to hold the bolt and centre it. Remove all the coolant hoses to the thermostat, and you can sneak a tiny ratchet behind and get the 10mm bolt out. The second thermostat bolt really confused me as it appears inaccessible. The second hard part was with the thermostat. It comes out at one angle only, and goes in 180% from the way its supposed to be. I had to loosen the oil dipstick tube and pretty much all the electrical connectors to get that sucker out. The whole waterpump procedure is there, EXCEPT for getting it out of the engine bay. Would it set a code for a sticky thermostat? Any other ideas? These new fancy cars set codes for everything. I will try and hydrometer the coolant on the weekend. Are they two separate systems? or would it complain about engine coolant when it meant inverter coolant?Īny help appreciated thanks. Second appears to be intake air temperature. After 30 minutes off i had ECT = 65*c and IAT = 47*cĪssume the first one is engine coolant temp. I have a record from 2016 and 180k km ago, but the records that came with the car are somewhat incomplete, and its brilliant pink, so i doubt its that old. Im not sure when the coolant was last changed. No coolant in the oil so thats good and its sitting near the full mark.Īnyone see this before, or could upload a PDF of the relevant troubleshooting section from the dealers manual? The coolant is bright pink and appears to be in good condition. I have noticed that there is pink evaporated coolant residue on the hose next to the expansion / zero pressure overflow tank at the front. Which is a bit concerning and more critical than a coolant level. However the prius C owners manual says that this warning "indicates that the high engine coolant temperature is too high". I thought, oh the coolant must be a bit low and is sloshing around. This came and went as i said when i was driving up the hill. It took over my screen and had kind of flowing water and a thermometer in red. Hey there, so today i was burning it up a hill with the pedal to the floor after about an hour of stop and go traffic, and i had an intermittent light come up on the dash.
