Hydroboost leak

[wil440]

I got the small kit and the big complete kit just in case as here in the UK I can't run to the parts store, Pirate Jacks kit is MIUSA as is the other kit I got, there are a lot of kits MIPRC sorry but I'd rather poke burning steel in my eyes than buy those

 

Still haven't done the job but I really need to soon as it's really leaking now, I'll be watching the YT vid thanks

I'll stop griping about that job now. My wife's Prius just came up with the same problem. Looked up the repair online and cam up with this. What a PITA. It's going to the shop:

Sloppiest bleed job I have ever seen,  must not know what tubing is (to direct fluid to catch container).

But this is a dealership mechanic do you expect them to do anything right...???

I've had my last run in with dealers. I caught them on an oil change where the selling point was "We do a 27 point inspection with every oil change". Part of that 27 point inspection was things like wiper blades, cabin air filter, etc. Well, I knew going in I had two torn wiper blades and a clogged cabin air filter (damn mouse nest from 3 months of storage). I left everything as is and did my own "27 point inspection" when I got the car back. You guessed it....wiper blades still split and mouse nest in cabin filter.

I took the car back and called them out on it. They made it right but I lost what little respect I had for dealers. I actually jacked the car up when I got home to pull the belly panel a check for a new oil filter. I'll never go back to a dealer short of an emergency!

Best bet is to find a local shop or two that you can trust and develop a working relationship with them. I've got two shops here in town that I use and am taking the Prius to number three. They got good reviews by Prius owners and responded to my email and called me. They were booked three weeks out (that's a good sign) and set me up for early Sept. Fingers crossed!
