@@automotiveinsight can you guys replace mine? I need an experienced shop in SoCal who is confident in these, or I might sell my 13 Prius

Just successfully completed this repair on my 2013 Prius. The instructions are good though I had a devil of a time with the pump-accumulator mounting cushions and nuts. Other than those it went pretty straight forwardly. I would recommend using the lowest hose on the brake fluid reservoir to completely drain the fluid. To bleed the system once installed, I used a Foxwell NT710 scanner with the Lexus, Sion, Toyota module from Amazon and just followed the instructions.

Thanks for your video. In the mid '70s when I was a girl I wanted to watch and learn as my father taught my brother how to repair the family car. But my father shooed me away. 😟 As a 59-year old woman with no experience other than changing the oil on my ole '68 Olds Delmont 88 many years ago, I believe I could do this job thanks to your video (and a repair manual and good notation as backup). Otherwise a Toyota dealer wants $3K to fix my 2010 Prius. But bleeding the breaks would be an issue because I don't have the necessary device. Plus, I don't have a mechanic mentor at the ready in case I eff something up. So ... now I'm searching for a non-dealership mechanic who may charge less to get me safely back on the road ... 😔🙏

Thank you for your work. We just finished replacing a new one.

​@@rosaritomex4223The constant running doesn't eventually burn out the booster? I guess if you are easy on the braking the regenerative braking does all the work. But emergency stops is when you'll wish you had it working?

My budget will afford me the pump/accumulator replacement only at this time. It seems to be the offending part considering the noise it makes ... kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqCDuZl8g9LUhLQ.html That's without the dash light on. When the dash lights come on and I lose regen braking, the pump makes the noise even more.

If you are not working as delivery or taxi or Uber you don’t need to buy hybrid car because they are very expensive to buy and very expensive to repair for example regular car cost 20 thousand $ hybrid car cost 24 or 25 thousand $ if you look to the difference I think that s what you can save in gaz if you bay hybrid

For USA, 200k mi (length of ownership example) / 25mpg extra (generous because most delivery, uber is city where hybrids excell) = 8000 gallons vs hybrid at 50mpg = savings of 4000 gallons x $3.61 (median cost of gas in USA) = $14,440 dollars. Prius last longer than 200k with maintenance.

This is the most uninformed comment I've read on KZread in awhile. First, you don't offer any stats or costs, or how long is the intended ownership, how much driving, which car makes and models you are comparing, etc. To start off with, a Ford or Chevy car is typically cheaper than a Toyota but am I going to buy one? HELL NO. There's a reason Ford stopped making cars. Here's my scenario for you. In 2012, I needed a wagon-type car for my work but also would be driving it for nonwork use. I was almost certainly going with Toyota as over the years I've owned many makes of cars but Toyota stood out (I owned Subaru, Honda, Datsun/Nissan, Ford and Chevy cars). Let's look at the price of 2012 Toyota wagons or mini SUVs and mpg. 2012 Prius V (hybrid): base price $27,160, combined mpg 41 Toyota Venza: $27,425, combined mpg 23 Toyota RAV4: $23,460, combined mpg 24. Out the door, I'd pay more for the Venza which was NOT a hybrid so we don't need to compare further about fuel savings. The RAV4 (also not a hybrid) was about $3300 less expensive. How long would it take to make up that $3300 difference in fuel costs between the V and the RAV4? About 48,000 miles and you break even. That's 3-4 years of ownership. Anything after that and you are saving a lot of gas money in the Prius V over the RAV4 (almost twice as much gas use in RAV4). Since I still own the Prius V I have saved thousands. Now let's consider your comment about "expensive to repair." Well, it sure isn't a BMW or Mercedes, try paying to get those repaired. My hybrid has never needed anything other than routine maintenance until this brake booster issue. If the brake booster had failed about 6 months earlier it would have been in the extended warranty on that "known issue" and repair would have been free. Quite frankly, there's little repair on a Toyota, especially if you do your maintenance on time. I have over 120K miles on the car now. Will my hybrid battery last forever? No, but then I've already owned the car 11 years, so sooner or later I'll be looking for a newer model anyway. Guess what I'll buy? Another hybrid, and it will be a Toyota. Edit: If my hybrid battery does fail, I may just replace it. I'd like to see how many miles I can get out of this car, just for fun. It is, after all, an old friend now. It carries a lot of stuff while using very little gas.

not selling 2002 Rav 4 any time soon ..yet another reason to avoid all up to date autos 😆😆😆

You show the easy parts. The only thing I need to see is how to bleed and use scan tool. That's the hard part. You skipped all the that . Your video is not helpful. I have to find another video.

Easy for you to say. Somebody like me, not so much. I thought it was very helpful. Now that i think about it, i bought that AllData or something like it but don't use it much since it uses a VM to load an image file.
