Greetings, I own a 2016 Toyota Prius, Generation 4 (UK model). It has accumulated over 300,000 kilometres, having mostly served as an Uber/taxi during its lifespan. Nonetheless, do not allow this to astonish you, as it is likely one of the most meticulously cared for and well-maintained Priuses around. Operates as if it had only travelled 60,000 km (under optimal conditions). Consistently operated judiciously and never mistreated. No costs were withheld. It has lasted 2-3 weeks, and I have seen persistent juddering or jerking during acceleration. It resembles a malfunctioning sensation. The engine seems to be vibrating. This occurs just during acceleration and while engaging the gas pedal. In EV Mode or Hybrid mode, the juddering ceases, and the vehicle glides smoothly as expected. However, upon acceleration and engine engagement, the whole vehicle experiences juddering and jerking. This occurs from 0 mph to a maximum of 50 mph. I have completed the following tasks: I first replaced all four spark plugs with genuine Toyota spark plugs, which is my customary practice. My previous ones were still functional and had considerable longevity, however I proceeded to replace them—no difference ensued! I subsequently changed all four ignition coils, with only genuine Toyota components, although there was no discernible improvement. I put genuine Toyota Fuel Treatment into my fuel tank - no effect! Additional contextual information: There are no EML or any other warning lights illuminated on the dashboard at any time, even during instances of juddering and jerking; nothing has been shown so far. The oil and water levels are satisfactory, and there are no leaks or losses of either substance. My fuel usage is same; there has been no adverse impact in that regard. The vehicle is well cared after and maintained. Maintained every 10,000 to 12,000 miles with only premium components from Toyota. The engine operates on Castrol oil, since it is the best product available and offers extended longevity. The vehicle has only used Shell petrol and would never employ any other fuel. Kindly provide assistance; do you have any recommendations on the potential issue?

No, it may remain on diff; however, verify your hub nut before to committing, since they tend to corrode, necessitating drilling and chiselling. The drive shafts may get seized in the hub, necessitating a press tool for removal.

I used a press while doing rear installations on my vehicle; it was quite cumbersome due to the backing plate and the hub's configuration. A new backing plate was necessary since I severed the original, along with strategically positioned metal blocks to secure the hub in the press. With the new hub flange, the problem of removing the inner race will be eliminated.

It seems different, does it not? Have you attempted to search the febi component number on Google to get further photographs in the event that the febi website is inaccurate? Do you own a press or rear bearing removal tool for the task?

I have sent you a note; my contact information is located at the bottom of my entries.

Estimating, the cost for the clutch and dual mass flywheel (DMF) ranges from £1,000 to £1,500, dependent upon the service provider. I am uncertain of your location; but, I can provide you with a quotation for the clutch, DMF, and chains if you like. Currently doing that specific task on a 1 Series.

At 160,000 miles, if the clutch is changed, also replace the timing chain. When replacing chains at that mileage, I usually recommend that the clutch and flywheel be replaced simultaneously, since there is no additional labour expense; just the cost of materials is incurred as they must be removed to reach the chain. At 160,000 miles, I believe you are operating on borrowed time with the chain.

I cannot address all your concerns, except about the software upgrade. Initially, the update site is accessible just for vehicles equipped with the in-dash Kia satellite navigation system; if the vehicle lacks this system, updates are exclusively available via the dealer. Secondly, if you own the Kia satellite navigation system, you must access the information screen on the device, locate the media system model number, and input it into the updater.

It is manual; I will attempt to get a satisfactory video tomorrow.

Thank you for your response. The battery cannot be the issue, since I purchased a new one today and there was no difference; also, I maintain it on a battery keeper. I believe I neglected to say that all dashboard lights and headlights function when I turn the key. I am uncertain if I detect a click, since I can hear the gasoline pump but am unsure whether there are any more sounds. If I do not hear a click, would it indicate a potential issue with the solenoid?

I disconnected the fuel pump relay and attempted to start the engine, suspecting it may have been flooded from prior efforts, but to no avail.

My 1991 1.8 190E fails to start. Since I acquired it, it has operated without issues, but it required many attempts to start. I attempted to start it the other morning; it turned over but failed to ignite. After adding additional gasoline, it made another attempt to start, but thereafter, the engine ceased to turn over. I can perceive the fuel pump initiating and operating, but I do not believe I can detect the starter engaging. I suspect that either the solenoid is jammed or defective, or the starter is malfunctioning. I am having difficulty finding both of them under the automobile. I have observed that tapping the starter while it is being engaged may initiate its operation; however, this is really a temporary solution, if it is effective at all. I am unable to locate the starter. Do you have any insights about the situation?

Yes, that is somewhat right, and he will essentially delete your Key EIS, not the dashboard. It seems unlikely that it will take that amount of time. He will allow some flexibility in case any unusual occurrences are encountered. I have recently had a thought. If he intends to replace your current electronic steering lock (ESL) module, it would indeed need a few hours, involving the disassembly of a portion of the dashboard. What is the reason for wanting this to be accomplished? If the task is being completed, then it is satisfactory. If the Electronic Steering Lock (ESL) malfunctions, the vehicle will not start until the module is replaced with a genuine Mercedes one or a simulator, which is a more convenient solution in the long term. It seems that he intends to extract your EIS key module and read its contents in order to create a new key. The system will display the number of keys now programmed and provide the opportunity to add more keys without requiring the deletion of any existing keys, if desired. If the reader is on the bench, then the EIS is withdrawn. It is not a significant matter.

Is it not the case that you get a no-claims discount on every policy? If you have two automobiles insured under different policies, you should be eligible for a No Claims Discount (NCD) on each policy. Under what circumstances should your wife possess a minimum of one year's worth of her previous policy?

Thank you much for providing all of your responses. While I concur with the weight distribution, it is important to note that there were always two individuals present in the vehicle. However, it is also accurate to say that the engine is not positioned in the centre; rather, it is somewhat shifted towards the left side. Perhaps it is the cause? Indeed, all the tyres are identical. The automobile is very new and I have noticed this from its first production. I use the metric system due to my residence in Europe.

To whoever it may concern, I would want to inquire if anybody has encountered a disparity in temperature between the rear wheels or tyres. There is usually a minimum temperature differential of 4 degrees Celsius between the left and right wheel. Due to the vehicle being new, I have simply engaged in simple driving and have not engaged in any enthusiastic or aggressive driving.However Has anybody had a similar situation or is there a specific problem? Thank you in advance for providing all the answers.

Consider experimenting with other wires to help pinpoint the problem. It seems that there is a poor connection, which is often the result of faulty cables or ports.

Fascinating method of presenting oneself.The user's text is an emoji depicting a person shrugging. In response to your query, not all CX30s exhibit such sluggishness. The turbos possess more power.🤣 As 20CX30JBM said, the use of a hydrophobic coating provides significant assistance. I use RainX. We kindly request that you allocate some time to provide us with a photograph of yourself at the age of 30, along with a brief introduction about your background and personal information. Greetings.✌

gunmetal 😁

When using paddle shifting, I often downshift to first gear when I'm approaching a stop. However, it is important to do this while the vehicle is moving at a modest speed to avoid a sudden increase in engine speed, which may seem rather harsh. Nonetheless, a touch of drama can be enjoyable even when decelerating, don't you agree? Nevertheless, in the few instances when I neglected to downshift while decelerating, I believe the computer automatically transitions to 1st gear.

This is not a coincidence. This occurrence did not transpire as a result of negligence. It is intentional. The purposeful growth of crime rates and the empowerment of criminals has become a policy inside the Democratic party. They have chosen district attorneys who release prisoners, decline to pursue criminal charges (even those for heinous offences), and do not provide assistance to law enforcement personnel who attempt to resolve the situation. Buckhead is a constituent area of the City of Atlanta, and the police are significantly constrained in their actions. They have no alternative but to bring in more corpse bags and yellow tape.

Indeed, Buckhead has been actively seeking to separate itself from the City of Atlanta in order to establish its own autonomous police department. However, it is evident that this will never be permitted.

I hypothesise that insurance firms are withdrawing their services as a result of the prevalence of auto theft and carjacking incidents in Atlanta. The situation there is utterly uncontrollable. Until about one year ago, my sibling resided in Buckhead and described it as a tumultuous and chaotic area. There are nightly occurrences of shootings. Unable to refuel the vehicle without being robbed. He had to go since the situation was too hazardous.

No, I apologise if it gave that impression. It just operates in the manner it seems to. My buddy had to pay just about £600 for a "free" subframe replacement on his 212 E Class.

Excellent... if they have given their consent, you are in a favourable position. They are likely to request more funds for the purchase of bolts, bushes, and corroded brake lines, as indicated by past discussions on this platform.
