Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - AC Blowing Hot / Not Cold And Some Kind Of Smoke Out Of The Vents

My problems in my ac begin last year around Summer. My ac was blowing hot and not cold and once it even blew some kind of smoke out of the vents. It only did that once and hasn't since. I went to good year and put some freon in the car. And it started to blow cold again and I was good for a while. Well I didn't need the cold air for the last few months till the heat started up again.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2005 - Air Escaping Kind Of Noise During Acceleration

Just bought a 2005 4.6Lused. There is a "air escaping" kind of noise during acceleration. It sounds just like the AC system does sometimes after you turn off an engine. I thought originally that it by be AC related, but doesn't appear to be. At steady speed, it goes away, but comes on again with the slightest bit more gas pedal. In cruise control, it cycles on and off when the cruise accelerates up a hill,, etc. The sound is on the driver's side apparently close to dash corner.

Camry :: 2005 - A/C Maintenance Mandatory?

The compressor of my 2005 SE-V6 was replaced under warranty in 2006. Have not done anything to the A/C since and it's working fine. Planning a 5000 mile round trip out west later this summer. I'd hate to get caught in 100 deg temps and have the A/C quit. My dealer has an A/C tune-up for $45. I may do it just for the peace of mind but was wondering if any else does or recommends periodic A/C checkups.

Toyota - Corolla :: 2005 - Maintenance Required Light Is On

My 05 corolla has a "maintenance required" light that has come on on the right side of my dash. I have taken care of the car and changed the oil every 3000 miles. I have changed the oil myself though so I don't have to pay 30 dollars for 8 dollars worth of oil. I'm thinking this light is just some program reminder, but what this light is and how I can turn it off.

Camry :: 2005 - Maintenance Required Light Takes A Long Time To Go Off

On our 2005 Toyota Camry, we have recently noticed that the maintenance-required light takes a long time to go off when the ignition is cycled. This is true whether the engine is started immediately or the key is simply left in the ON position until proveout is completed.

The car is up to date on all services and we see no other signs of an impending problem. At the moment we do not have the ability to retrieve OBD-II diagnostic codes. What could be going on?

Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 - Car Went To Limp Mode Then Stopped With P0A0F After Maintenance

I have a 2005 Prius. After driving home from a 95K routine maintenance inspection, the car (with the display indicating 50% in the gas tank) went to limp mode and then stopped entirely and had to be towed back to the dealer. The codes pulled were

P0A0F (Engine failed to start)
P3000 (Battery control system)
B2799 (Immobilizer Malfunction)
P3190 (Poor engine power).

The techs concluded that the car was simply out of gas and the display incorrectly showed I still had gas in the tank due to a broken sender in the tank. They also said they added 1 1/2 gallons, and the car ran fine again.

However, I keep meticulous records of when I get gas, and according to my numbers I had at least 5 gallons left in the tank. Sure enough, the tech topped the tank up, which only took 4 gallons, so clearly my tank was not empty when this happened.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2005 Won't Shut Off At Stop Lights After Fuel Injection Maintenance

Took my 2005 Prius for an oil change. Dealer called and recommended fuel injection service because of carbon buildup and mileage (50,000). On my way home on a mild day with heat and AC off it didn't shut off at stop lights all the way home. Battery was charged. Never had this happen before and it's demoralizing because I really love my car!

Phaeton :: 2005 - Window Won't Go All The Way Up

I have a 2005 V8. The front passenger side window will not close all the way. It leaves a gap that is less than a 1/4". It looks closed but at speed, the wind noise tells you otherwise. I have to physically put one hand on the inside and one hand on the outside of the window to push the window all the way up.

Is there something I can do (I'm not very mechanically inclined) to fix this? I'm thinking of taking it in tomorrow.

Phaeton :: 2005 - Start Then Cut Out?

Recently purchased 2005 5.0 V10 TDI with a blown engine! and over the past couple of months have fitted another and have run into a couple of small problems. 1 being after the change, the engine fired up and run perfect for about ten minutes then cut out! and would start for a few seconds then cut out, by mistake, after i removed the egr valve on bank 2 and cleaned it, I forgot to reconnect the pipe running from the exhaust to egr valve on the inlet manifold, car runs lovely until its connected, then back to the problem of starting and cutting out! tried a blanking plate but still the same, my only guess is that the cat might be clogged?

Second problem, is the vacuum system, The pipe comes out of the vacuum pump into a Y connector, one end goes to the brake servo got that in, then the other end runs along the back of the engine, and in my haste i cant remember taking it off or were this part went or what it connects to it would appear it can only go one of 2 ways, down the middle of the engine to a inlet manifold or down the back of the engine towards the gearbox ? My local stealership have no info where to obtain a technical data sheet on the vacuum system?

Phaeton :: 2005 - Key Stuck In Ignition

I dropped mine off this morning for service and noticed a 2005 parked exactly in the middle of the service lot blocking traffic and surrounded by a pool of oil.

Turns out it was delivered by flat bed last night. The flatbed driver was unable to start the car so he flooded the area and I assume his flatbed with oil so he could "slide" the Phaeton off his truck.

Service says they can't start the car or remove the key from the ignition, so there it sits. I told them I'd see if there was any advice here on getting that car back on the road - and outta the lot.

Phaeton :: 2005 V8 - Passenger Airbag Off Light Lit Up

On our 2005 V8, we had an airbag fault message come up, and the "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" light lit up. We had the code cleared, and everything has been fine. Is there any way to prevent this light coming on? Our mechanic said that it can be caused by taking your safety belt off before the vehicle is stopped, but I wanted to know if there is any other causes of this fault. We have decided to not move the passenger seat at all, just in case there is a wire broken or a loose connection.

Phaeton :: 2005 V8 Engine Cooling Fan Not Running

My 05 V8 Phaeton radiator cooling fan is not running and hence engine overheats. The AC cooling fan works alright, it comes on when i switch on the AC. I have verified that the actual radiator cooling fan works by plugging it to the ac cooling fan socket. I have checked fuses and all ok. there are no dealers near me. I have also gone through all the cooling fan threads and all of them are for constant running fans, none for a non running fan.

Phaeton :: 2005 Starts But Dies In Minutes

Have 2005 Phaeton with about 140,000 miles. Has run fine as long as I've had it at about 100,000. Last week it died in a parking lot after starting. It keep doing that all the way home.

Next day it started and ran a bit longer and then the serpentine belt broke. Replaced the belt and car ran fine for 10 minutes, parted it and the next day it quit after running 2 minutes.

Seems like it dies right after the computer systems cycle up.

I replaced the left side battery and keep the correct charger on it to make sure its fully charged. I start the car and it dies after a few minutes, then I notice the charger is charging the battery.

I checked the J367 battery control unit and its a D rates 2800 so should be the right one. I don't know if they can go bad. But think it could be the problem, not sure if they can be tested. Called my vw dealer and they say they need to whole vehicle.

The meter on the dash show 14 plus so I think the alternator should be fine. I did check to make sure all pulleys were turning smoothly when I changed the belt. Today I checked the Smoothing Capacitor and it tested fine.
