Prius (Gen 2) :: 2006 Battery Runs Down Regularly Overnight

View 3 RepliesPhaeton :: Fuel Gauge Reads Near Empty
Problem: Fuel tank near empty and the gauge (appropriately) reads near empty. I pull into a gas station and fill up. In spite of a full tank, the fuel gauge is still near empty and the warning light/chime is still on. I turned the car off and restarted it several times but no change.
I can't recall any and could not find any reference in the table of contents.
Phaeton :: Fuel Gauge Goes To Empty When Gets To 3/4 Full
When my fuel gauge gets to 3/4s full it stops working and goes to empty. My range display also goes off. When I refill it works again until it reaches the same point.
View 5 RepliesTouareg :: Key Battery Is Empty Alarm
On my display, I get a "Key Battery is Empty" alarm with a little key symbol that stays there as long as I am driving. I have replaced the battery...still the alarm. I have tried the other FOB...still the alarm. The thing is, the FOB works (I have the keyless start) so it seems to be a software issue but how do I reset it without venturing down to the dealer?

Yes, I STFA but didn't come up with a solution. This is displayed on driver info display, so i replaced the battery in the keyfob. The the keyless entry works a few times then all of a sudden keyless entry doesn't work and the display "key battery empty" comes on again. When i take the battery out and put it in again, same thing happens, works then doesn't work. The battery is good but this keeps happening over and over again.
View 6 RepliesPrius (2004-09) :: Car Won't Start - HV Battery Empty On MFD
I had my dead 12V replaced two weeks ago with a new OEM batt. The car had been working fine until I parked it in the garage four days ago. There was a single bar of HV charge left at that time, at least according to the MFD. Today it's stone dead, not even a single beep or a blinking light. I've attached a working 12V battery to the jumpstart points under the bonnet and the dash came alive, but the car would not start. The HV battery gauge on the MFD had no bars, and the shifter indicators were all flashing.
Is my HV really dead? Would it really take only four days to discharge completely and take the new 12V with it? Perhaps the OEM 12V was faulty and another 12V battery (not a booster) is not enough to jumpstart the car?
Prius C :: Battery Never Full Or Empty - 1 Or 2 Levels Always Missing

I recently had an issue of my car not starting, battery empty, so battery needed a charger to start the car, but now the Nav screen does not work at all. no backup camera, nothing. Radio still works fine.
So i am guessing its a fuse. I looked at the fuse box on the driver side, but can't seem to find the appropriate fuse.
Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: After Replacement Of Battery Distance To Empty Won't Working Properly
I replaced the battery in my 2011 Sonata. After the install I reset the radio, clock etc. and everything seemed to work fine electronically. The car was very low on gas and when I filled it later that same day the "Distance to Empty" display in the dash only read 271 miles after fill up. Typically when it is filled it reads 550+ to empty. After three tank fulls the display now reads 375 when filled up. Is there a reboot for this function? Does it have to be done by a dealer?

my 2.0T (just over 50K) FSI is starting to leak some oil... enough to notice on the driveway.
I am going to get it up in the air tonight and clean up the bottom / try to locate the cause of the leak.
I ask all of you B6 2.0T owners - have you had an oil leak? What did it end up being?
Venture :: 2004 Quit Without Notice / No Attempt To Start
This car has been great in terms of reliability and no leaks (read not a drop) anywhere.
Today it has decided to quit without notice.
Turn the ignition and it appears to be turning off/on rapidly sort of like maybe it's shorting or something. Dash lights go off/on as this occurs. No attempt to start... as you hold the key on start dash lights the rapid on/oof action described above.
Where I should start troubleshooting this thing??

Passat (B6) :: Moisture Inside Car Regularly
For some reason I am getting moisture inside my car. This has started to happen regularly, even when it is not raining. I have checked all of my weather stripping, all windows seal tight, all doors close tight. VW service can't find anything.
View 6 RepliesFord - Gasoline - Batteries - F150 :: Battery Drain In Short Amounts Of Time / Gas Overflow Even When Tank Empty
I have an 1979 F150, 351 V8, only 104,000 miles. Been driving it sporadically, had it serviced over the years, been driving it until recently. At least three new batteries have drained to dead in short amounts of time. No one seems to be able to pinpoint the trouble. It has two gas tanks--the original tank overflows out the filler cap in hot weather, even when mostly empty. I must find this trouble. Again--it's been seen by several repair shops, but no one has fixed the problem.
View 1 RepliesSanta Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: 2008 - Rough Idle And Engine Seems To Shut Off Without Any Notice
I have a 2008 Santa Fe 2,2 CRDi that recently started to behave bad. When cold it starts but runs only for a few seconds before it dies. The engine seems to shut off without any notice. I am able to start the car again straight away, but the same thing happens.
If I try to push the throttle I might be able to keep it running for a longer while, and it seems to improve as the engine gets warmer, but it still dies after a while. (Some minutes.) When running, the engine feels kind of rough (hard) and not a smooth as its supposed to be.
I have cleaned the EGR valve, and replaced all the injectors. I also checked the diesel filter for water and flow, but didn't replaced as it was changed this summer.
The car is a no runner as it is now, since the uncontrolled shutdown of the engine makes it danger to use in the traffic.
Prius (Gen 3) :: Hybrid System Overheat Warning Light Comes On Regularly
Last summer I had a catastrophic experience on a family vacation when my wife's 2012 Prius overheated on the highway and lost power. The dealer that we limped into kept it for a week and couldn't find any concrete problem, except to say that since it was a salvage vehicle rebuilt without Toyota brand parts, that all of the cooling system would need to be replaced. I waited until we barely made it home and had my mechanic replace the inverter pump.
Since then the "hybrid system overheat" warning light comes on regularly, especially when driving up a long climb, even in moderate weather. There are no codes. Is it possible that there is air in the lines? My mechanic says that it feels like the inverter pump is working, tho I don't see turbulence in ready mode. A link to bleeding the air?

View 5 RepliesFord Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 1987 F350 - Coolant Leaking Regularly?
I'm a total beginner and am slowly nursing an '87 F350 7.5L back to running condition as a plow/farm truck. It regularly loses coolant, even on very short trips around the farm and I figured that radiator needed to be replaced. Today I was hooking a snow plow up and had it running for about 15 minutes when light grey smoke started to come out of the vents in the cab. Looking at the engine, I noticed a lot of coolant leaking out from below the heater housing. The coolant was dripping out of what looks like a protruding bit of pipe a where a hose should be attached. What am I looking at here?
