#3570 of 3943 Re: weird problems - anyone else? [hydro4] by wwest Apr 11, 2008 (12:24 pm)
Replying to: hydro4 (Apr 10, 2008 1:30 pm) That "flap" was used to prevent someone from fueling a non-lead car with leaded fuel. With no more leaded fuel available the flap became useless and was discarded for most designs years ago.   I find that to prevent premature fuel flow shutoff with my RX I must not insert the fuel dispensing nozzle fully into the filler pipe neck.   Are you by chance referring to the "picket-fence" effect, rapid loss and regain of the signal, common to mobile FM radio recievers..?

Replying to: wwest (Apr 11, 2008 12:24 pm) I just checked my 2004 Prius, with which I did have a fuel filling problem for the first time this winter, and my 2007 HH (no fueling problems). Neither has the filler neck flap, just a hole for the nozzle. I do not remember if there was ever a flap on either. I will inspect some other cars. If the Prius is supposed to have a flap, then that's the cause of my recent problem even thought the problem is now gone, the flap must be in there somewhere, and hard to get out.
#3572 of 3943 Whistling sound in new '08 highlander hybrid by newsy2 Apr 11, 2008 (10:11 pm)
My car has 1400 miles. Today I heard on and off a whistling noise coming from the back of the car. I was on a dirt road for a short period of time before the sound occured. I can't tell if it was related to the engine or something in the rear wipers or something else. the sound did go away after a while. i'm not sure if it will stay away. any thoughts? thanks/ Replies to this message: cdptrap (Apr 12, 2008 12:19 am) cdptrap (Apr 14, 2008 9:32 am)

Replying to: newsy2 (Apr 11, 2008 10:11 pm) When our 2006 HH runs on full-electric mode (ICE off), it has a soft high pitch whirl/purr, almost could pass for a whistle. THat may be what you are hearing?   If you have the energy display, see if the sound returns when the car is in full electric mode. Replies to this message: cdptrap (Apr 14, 2008 9:32 am)
#3574 of 3943 Where do I find maintenance schedule? by sxnhe Apr 12, 2008 (6:26 am)
Hello, I just got a 2006 Highland hybrid with 42000 miles. I went through the owner's maunal and did not see maintenance schedule. I am wondering if there is a seperate manual for the maintenance schedule. Or can I find it somewhere in the web? Thanks for help. Replies to this message: cdptrap (Apr 14, 2008 9:30 am)

Replying to: wwest (Apr 11, 2008 12:24 pm) Perhaps the better question should have been "is there supposed to be a little spring-loaded flap in the fuel filler neck in the HiHy?" I don't recall seeing one, but i never checked before. I think another possibility would be a supposed "fuel bladder" misplacement? I've tried all kinds of ways to get the nozzle positioned in the filler, but nothing seems to work.   The radio problem is frequent and random, and it just started occurring a couple of weeks ago. I would think that if it were standard RFI i would have noticed it before. Maybe not! Thanks loads for the replies! Replies to this message: nvbanker (Apr 13, 2008 9:35 am)

Replying to: hydro4 (Apr 13, 2008 5:02 am) Your radio problem sounds like the attenna connection has broken some how, or come out of the port. How to check that, I do not know, as I do not have one of these fine automobiles, but what you're describing sounds like weak signal. The antenna hasn't broken off or been stolen, has it?

Replying to: sxnhe (Apr 12, 2008 6:26 am) Yes, there is a separate booklet that has the maintenance schedule. Try the following Toyota link:   http://smg.toyotapartsandservice.com/index.php   You can enter model, year and mileage and it shows the recommended service. It is not precise but it will help.   Good luck!

Replying to: cdptrap (Apr 12, 2008 12:19 am) Just want to add that I can hear the "whirl/whistle" at lower speed when the ICE and the electric motors are both ON. This happens when the motor is helping the ICE to move the car along.
