One has to be very careful as to using devices that would take large amounts of current from the LV battery. The reason is that sensitive electronics monitor battery voltage, current going in and out and resistance and in some instances, temperature of the LV Battery. The DC to DC Converter supplies...

The second radiator, the smaller, is below. It has smaller hoses. The Inverter coolant pump (see photo) is in front, under the Inverter. It pulls coolant from the bottom of the reservoir, sends it to the right side of the radiator. Coming out from the left side, the coolant goes into the Inverter on...

SO YOUR HYBRID HAS TWO RADIATORS ! Yes folks. 2 separate crossflow radiators in one frame. The upper, which is the larger radiator with larger hoses cools the engine. If you follow the radiator hose on the right side of the car, you will see it goes to the electric Aisin water pump. The photo shows ...

Hello all SAGABOYS who lower cars. Please note that the Toyota Hybrid cars are not your cup of tea. They are poor candidates for Low Riders. If you want to cut out 2 coils of spring, put on 20" rims and series 5 tyres, then your High Voltage cable will not survive all the semantics you perform ...

It covers a black plastic stub with a copper strip that faces the windscreen. Clip your jumper cable POSITIVE to this stub, making sure that the clip jaw that has the cable attached is touching the copper strip. The NEGATIVE jumper cable can ground on any major part of the car or engine. Start your ...

HOW TO JUMPSTART AN AQUA, FIELDER OR AXIO HYBRID. The entire vehicle electrical system is 12V run by a SPECIAL 12 V Battery under back seat on the right side. The High Voltage battery pack under the back seat, the transfer cable to the Inverter/DCtoDC Converter, the cables to and from, and including...

It is called "corrugated". Radica's Upholstery Supplies on Cipero St. 2 feet 2 inches. TT$125. Mikey's charged TT$40 to cut it, and sew the piping around it. There is a ready-made universal in auto-supply stores for TT$350 upward. Cut along marks to fit. Rubber.........too heavy. The front...

Hello Folks. Got the registration last Friday. Did a few things. Painted the front grille with a metallic gunmetal. Added a strip of the same paint under the rear windscreen. Made a waterproof mat for the trunk. Bought some seatcovers. Added some DRLs behind the Grille. Ditched the Inflator kit and ...

What kamikaze says have some weight. Usually a gearbox will have a vent. From cold, when the gearbox heats up with use, the air inside will expand. If there is no vent, then the internal pressure will cause it to leak .....somewhere. Possibly through a seal etc. When a pressure cooker is removed fro...

Unlike cars powered only by an ICE, the hybrids cannot rely on a brake booster to amplify the force of your leg pressing the brake pedal. The vacuum from the ICE inlet manifold operates on the diaphragm of the booster, which pushes the piston of the master cylinder to give tremendous hydraulic press...

Venum, Yesterday I took the Fielder to Licensing Office. Adjusted rear brakes. Front pads OK. Got the engine and transmission oil changed. The filler cap on the engine had a sticker 0W30, so I replaced it with 0W30. The transmission oil replacement was just as you said and did. The mechanic (friend ...

Yes, the mileage is low. Did not have any interior cleaning to do. Cost US$11,980 shipped to Trinidad. Customs is TT$40. Plus local costs.....broker fee, shipping agent fee, TTBS, Licensing, Fluids, filters, stereo etc. I would have liked to buy the G WXB, but a 2015 model is north of US$13,000 ! Pe...

The engine number is where the engine flange mates with the transmission flange. Behind the radiator. You will see MR20 followed by a 6-digit number and a letter stamped on the metal. Something is wrong with your info bro. At the moment, one cannot import a 2009 vehicle into Trinidad. The Nissan Blu...

Great forum for the Fielder and Axio Hybrid. Respect. Both Fielder and Axio carry Chassis code NKE165. Please bear in mind that the engine is essentially the 1NZ engine that Toyota using about 15 years now, albeit with modifications for Hybrid use. Check this site for some useful info: https://www.t...

Read in yesterday's Express what Franklin Khan said. Just remember there is this government official who is bent on removing the "subsidy" on gasoline, though throughout the history of budget presentations in T&T, no one ever volunteered to say what is subsidy, and what is real price. ...

Respect to adnj's post: Fuel savings, yes, but the clutch was added to allow larger alternators on smaller engines. The larger alternators are susceptible to premature wear without one. The clutch also helps to extend the life of the belt and every device on that belt. They also smooth out the engin...

This is the final chapter on the 2ZR alternator. The alternator was installed on the engine and driven for about 20 miles. Then it burnt. The battery light came on. The alternator was smelling burnt. It was removed from the engine and sent to me. Took it back to the auto-electrician. The rectifier w...

Just remember, when the government closes the refinery and has to import gasoline at International prices, ship, store and distribute it, then have no "subsidy", the price at the pump will more than double.
Don't say I did not warn you !

make meh care. Thanks. This is more sophisticated than I thought. Initially alternators had external regulators, like the old-time generators had. Then the regulators started being built in as solid-state electronics progressed. There were three wires on the alternator. The heavy charge-back wire, t...

limbobreak, hahaha ! The 2ZZ is history. While I still enjoy it, there are many cars with engines out there that will have me reading their rear number plates. Everything is stock. A/T. ....too, I am wrong about the 2ZZ alternator. The plug has 3 wires instead of 4 and is shaped differently. Still, ...

My niece has a 1800 cc Fielder ZRE-142. Recently her alternator started making noise. He mechanic told her it was the alternator bearing, so she contacted me for help. I took the car to the auto electrician, and it was pointed out to me that that type of alternator has a grooved pulley with a built-...

A quick idea of gas consumption.
Friend of mine had a 1500cc Tiida which his wife drove from Iere Village in Princes Town to Rio Claro every day.
......You know the horrible terrain and traffic.
The gas cost per week was TT$100.
She has an Aqua now.
The gas cost is now TT$40.
End of story.

This is a Nissan that is not produced for the Japanese market.
So the chance of getting one Ro-ro is almost 0.
Mainly produced for the RHD markets.
