Good afternoon guys. My 2009 Lexus is250 has steering rack failure that has completely stiffened the steering. The mechanic I met is quoting 150-200k for the rack. Abeg is this true or is he inflating the price. I will also like other suggestions

Hello Guru.. I have some issues with my Lexus ES 300 2003 model
first. My car shakes .. I don’t know if that’s the right word to use , or will I say I get little vibrations when I’m not in motion. Like if I off ac, it starts to vibrate when I’m static.

Secondly. When I stop and shift gear to P’ ignition goes off , but dashboard lights will still be on. Then I see the battery signal on the dashboard..

What could be the cause of these issues ?
plenty things, scan it first.

I doubt any scanner would pick up on tie rods & hubs...... For those, you need physical inspection.....

$9 - $150...... Higher end scan tools can fetch over $2000.00........

The BEST solution is to disconnect your battery terminals and reconnect after 5mins.
Try this and thank me.

This is an Rx350 if I'm not mistaken. Pls scan the vehicle and post codes. If you're in Abuja, call 07034581213 for scan and repair.
Gazzuzz is also highly recommended if you're in Lagos.

That you do thus doesn't mean everybody should emulate your shoddy practice when it comes to vehicle repairs. Pls, if you can't advice properly, and in a manner that won't cause harm/damage, quit advicing.

Thanks.

So what I did that gave a solution to same problem I had is "shoddy" as you said?
That process resets/clears errors from the ECU, then if it shows up after reseting means it's a serious problem.

Try this with cars with some very dangerous codes or cars with more temperamental electronics and unforgiving computers, when you finally disable the car, then, you'd understand better.

No need quoting you cos you obviously have no idea what car troubleshooting or repairs is.

And you failed to understand what you read, "it worked on my vehicle when I had same problem ".

Chat me up 07034581213; Tonight, I'll be in Lagos. Tomorrow we could meet if it's okay by you so I can do a free scan.

It doesn't resolve the problem. That's what you don't understand. In some more complex cars, that act can damage, shut down /disable parts or components.

If vehicle is overheating, loads of things could be responsible......

It could be your radiator or head gasket damage.......

Have you conducted a compression test?....... If the radiator is the issue, that would be a very simple and easy fix.......

If your issue is the head gasket, unfortunately you need to start saving for a better replacement engine......

NB : If you are about to buy this vehicle, get the price of a replacement engine + cost of fixing, and factor all this costs in your final offering price.........

Bro my heart don skip
Am about to buy it at a good considerable price and owner said I can test run for 2 weeks or so although I deposited part...to complete after inspection...

Like I said earlier, a kazeem said its the radiator however what signs or symptoms could I possibly notice for a damaged head gasket? Was thinking the car would be making a funny knocking sound sort of... once learnt, to ascertain damaged engine top, you open the radiator cover in the morning and start the engine, if the water is steady n stable while engine is running then its cool but if otherwise then..this i have done...do you think this claim is not professional

I am really bothered you know,the car is clean & sound except this overheating that occurs once in a while (say 3-4days intervals if i don't top water) and when this happens, I chill for a while top water and it car jacks back to life...

I no need headache abeg, my mind cut as you mentioned engine... e better make I jejely Park car biko

Pardon my plenty talks
Appreciate your inputs

What would happen to a camel in the dessert, loaded to brim...... But only dehydrates at an interval of 3 - 4 days........ wink

The owner of the vehicle + you, dey relay race....... Hin wan pass hin baton of wàhálà to you......

Before you conclude this deal, get a proper technician with super duper scan tool (not those N4K scanners).....

Whilst waiting on the roadside, for engine to cool down, before quenching it's taste...... Area Boys show, wetin you go do..... wink

It would cost you about N20K for inspection or be prepared to spend more, treating high blood pressure.... wink

When you start suffering from LEXPHILIS........ cheesy
