You sure about that? I have it on good faith that the 4GR cost about 80k last year.

I always heard 100k. But when I asked a seller, I was told 250k.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Lexus' engineering. Probably a top 5 greatest car of all time.

1. Check sonar means either one or more of the front or rear park distance sensors (they are small circular marks on bumper) is broken or disconnected and not replaced. That's because the car had been in a collision and it got damaged or because the bumper was removed.

2. For TPMS light, to go off you must check the wheel without the TPMS sensor or the dead TPMS usually you can do that with a TPMS scanner and then replace the sensor(s) and resync them again.

3. I have no idea the kind of sound you are talking about. Is it a mechanical clicking noise like a ratchet being pulled or an electronic chime or bung sound?

Thank you bro...
For the 1 it was a collision d pumper so I replaced it when it get here..

3) is like a ratchet being pulled..

Is there a mechanic I can take it to? I stay at Igando lagos

Hi guys,

My 06 ES 330's coolant disappears 2-3 days after refilling the reservoir.

No visible leaks anywhere.

The AC at lowest speed chills like a freezer grin , can this be the cause?

Read online about faulty radiator cap that allows coolant burn off , disappear, escape or vapourize faster. Can this be the issue?


I posted this earlier and no response helped.

Car overheated.

Radiator leaked at the top

A good mechanic worked on it and sealed the top

Problem persisted

Changed radiator cap

Still same issue

Today, just bought a brand new double cell radiator.

embarassed same issue still

After driving for about 10 minutes, temperature gauge stays at middle point and doesn't leave there but immediately you switch off the engine, the coolant reservoir is bubbling hot and full to the brim (meanwhile it contained little coolant before driving)


Men and brethren, the son of man is tired angry

Car was bought at superb condition mid-May.

Also, dashboard heats up a lot and on cranking the engine, it's like a rush of water happens behind the dashboard.

What seest thou?

Car never overheated.

Just that coolant disappears quickly after refill

2 gallons bought within 3 weeks.

That was a pointer something is wrong somewhere.

Ran some diagnostic scans, no fault codes at all.

First time it overheated, it didn't last up to 10 minutes nor did they temperature gauge reach the bold red mark. Cooled for an hour and took me home, drove almost 45 minutes.

No water droplets when you crank the engine.

Car runs smooth.

Only issue is water in the radiator flows back to the coolant container, makes the radiator go out of water and then engine overheats

sorry, this happened. You likely have a head gasket issue. Your coolant is getting burned off. What's your exhaust fume like.
