Hello everyone and good evening

I just got an 07 es 350 few weeks ago and I have just one issue. The radiator fan comes on and runs at full speed when the engine is switched ON, even when it's super cold in the morning. By my understanding, the cooling fan should only come on when the engine is getting to a certain temperature

My mechanic told me they've removed the thermostat because of the Nigerian weather (normal BS) . I find that hard to believe because oyibo wey do car must have factored all these into consideration when building the car

Now the fans noise seems kind of annoying as it runs at full speed.. Most es350 I know are very quiet when idle

I would really appreciate any input

Thanks a lot

Okay so an update on this

After reading so many articles online coupled with what people also said on this thread, I finally resorted to putting back the thermostat.

Turns out, there was an underlying overheating issue which the "Kazeem" was too lazy to fix hence, optin for the thermostat removal. The new mechanic I tried found out the radiator was leaking at the top, he removed it and fixed it. Put it back together with the new thermostat I bought, rewired the fans back to Factory settings and voila, the annoying fan noise stopped. Now the fan only picks up when the engine gets to a certain temperature and also switches off when the temperature is at optimal temp. The temperature is now stable at the halfway mark and there is no issue of overheating, despite the super hot weather.

The car is now super quiet.


..and oh, I found out today that my under-hood catalyst is absent, 😂. But that's a "fight" for another day

Thanks for everyone who contributed, really appreciate it

So first your thermostat has been remove because of nigeria weather wish is wrong
Secondly they put ur car fans on direct ignition wish simply means ur car is running low on temperature,
With this now ur car will consume more fuel and ur engine will start building up sloge slowly because the engine is not hot enough for the whole oil to mealt no matter how long you drive the car.

Not sure if this your last paragraph analysis is correct.

My temperature gauge gradually increases as I drive the car, which should indicate the engine actually does get hot at a point

Besto:
Engine takes time to reach operating temp

So you are expected to burn more fuel in such set up.

And many other like engine/gear oil flow time, so unnoticeably you fucking up your engine slowly.

But as the fuel, you will notice it.

Like my car it is manufacturer programmed not to enter 6th gear if the gear oil temp isn't hot yet so imagine me on your kind of fan set up trying to race my car because I'm running late.

Thank you so much

I have noticed the fuel consumption tho, it's enormous even for a V6

Besto:
Thermostat is not an electrical device and doesn't control the fans, What controls your fan is the temp sensor/ coolant temp sensor that works together with the ecu.

You thermostat might still be present sef.

They just connected your Fan directly to ignition line because of laziness to properly diagnose a previous overheating situation, so your situation is above the thermostat thing

You need a professional car elect to connect the fans back to the default wiring lines and then observe if your radiator fan kicks in @ 200 degrees Fahrenheit, if it doesn't then he should do further diagnosis.

Nicely put, thanks a lot.

But man, the finding the professional is the main koko. All the people I have around me are mostly Kazeems, lol

Maybe get used to it?

Does connecting the fan directly have an adverse effect on the engine?

Besto:
Dem don connect am directly.

ES350 wey fit enter your compound and comot without you noticing if you no use eyes look.

Sometimes I go dey look rpm to check weda car still dey on when I'm inside

Do you recommend I return the thermostat to see how it functions?

I'm very positive that if we put back the thermostat, the fan noise would definitely reduce. The only issue I have is the overheating, the mechanic said they must have removed the thermostat because it was overheating

Very confused on what to do right now

Besto:

ES350 wey fit enter your compound and comot without you noticing if you no use eyes look.

Sometimes I go dey look rpm to check weda car still dey on when I'm inside

When I'm inside the car, it's super quiet. It's only the outside that seems kind of loud due to the fans running at full speed

Normal hill na gear 1 na. Gear 3 na fire down.gear 4 na turbo.while gear 5 na see mary,see jesus. Pls dont forget,its not a rwd ,its a fwd ,pls dont fire it more than 100kph,or highest 120kph. o cos that es350 no balance for ground esp hard breaks on hard acceleration could be disastrous. in all take care of lexus.

E say see Mary see Jesus 😂😂😂

Wetin I dey find go 120kph, ah go still like enjoy life well.

2shure:
Honestly i cant say. They can repackage fake steering oil disguised as transmission oil at ladipo inside original can. Just dey pray

Omooh, Naija. People really don't have the fear of God again, ahah

I have not noticed any issues with it tho, ever since the oil change. No jerking or delay in engaging gears

Although I noticed at times when I use a low gear to enter an uphill, the car quickly tries to engage a new gear(I assume gear 1) when I try to accelerate which I assume is normal. Because even in a manual transmission, you will need gear one to better navigate an uphill

I might be wrong with my analysis tho, don't know too much about cars, lol

2shure:
Really. Well of he no remove transmission pan.then 4litres dey ok. But hope na original type t4 o.not all those repackaged fake trans oil obidients dey package as original. Was the can colour green ot na the old red colour

It's a red color although they showed me the green one too of about 50k, got the red color one for 35k.

Tried to clean the numbers on top, didn't clean off, although the paint kind of robbed off but the number still shows clearly despite my attempt to try and rub it off with my finger.

Does that indicate a fake one?

2shure:
4litres guage.did u guage the dipstick

Es 350 doesn't have a dipstick, it's one of the things I hate about the car

2shure:
Yea.thats the spirit. The moment u attempt to correct one thing to the other.trust me.lexus na sensor upon sensor.the car will never remain the same. Whats making those noise could be either the pulleys or Thr abt.most cars in naija run with fan direct. The one that wants to revert back to factory spec will experience overheating afyer sometime.just drive am like that.also mind u.lexus es350 is a fwd and it also does ball joint failure.see your lexus es350. See am here.
Dem don drift lexus es350 taya for dubai

Lmao, car wey I dey baby na him person dey handle laidis ? 😂😂😂

By the way, is a 4L WS gear oil enough to gauge the transmission? I read on the owners manual that the transmission oil shouldn't be too low or too much.

Reason why I asked if because I recently changed the transmission oil. The guy drained everything on there and then added the 4L WS total oil, he said it's OK like that when I asked

2shure:
Pls leave it like that. Pls i beg of u. If u like follow anyone advice here and tamper with it.by the time the lexus starts overheating,kiss the car goodbye. I have imported 2cars from usa and i met the fans like that,i wanted to revert but i said no.till i sold those cars,they never overheated. The thing is nairaland quacks would want yoy to come to their shop so they scatter the car for u.be wise.

Thanks a lot, I guess I should get used to the fans always running at full speed. The car doesn't overheat tho, max temperature on the gauge is always not above half even in super hot weather

Hello sir, please would you mind telling me the price for a 0.45m Step Tiles? Price per one?

Thank you

Morning everyone, is there anyone who can help me ship from Amazon?

Okay I think I should share this experience ... I normally used one xiaomi ear pod about 7500 and I wasn't really impressed so I ordered another via Jumia for 6000 that one is nice and loud so two nights ago I just saw my kid brother earphones lying around 'I think those ones are being sold for 300 naira and I decided to try it .... It came out really really bad ,I don't know what led me to headphone effects and when I selected Mi_comfort I got the best sound in the world' the bass was something else.... I had to unplug and look at the earphones again had to exchange with him ... as of last night I replayed all my music ,I tried the airpod with that effect it wasn't that loud .... So my point is try the headphone effects those stuffs are wonderful .....

Will definitely try this when I get the earbuds delivered. Thanks

Sony WF-1000XM3, Apple airpods 2, Beats Powerbeat Pro, Samsung Galaxy Buds plus, Jabra Elite 75t, Jlabs Jbuds Air, Anker Soundcore Life P2 etc.

Thanks man. Someone later recommended the Sabbat E12 Ultra so I went for that

Kinda beats the Apple Air Pods 2

Kykyblaze:
I hope you are not making use of A6s? It's not original Xiaomi and it sold everywhere.

Didn't even bother buying, the reviews are awful bass-wise

Someone later recommended the Sabbat E12 Ultra. Beats even the Airpods 2 when reviewed

Morning all, can anyone please recommend any Airpods with good bass? All these Xiaomi Airpods are just pure trash, bass wise.
.I would really appreciate recommendations

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks to whoever contacted nipost and then post the screenshot, I was able to get in touch with them for clarification

Alozera:
Bro, please how do you order from Alibaba..
I tried once but each seller kept asking me if I have any agent in China

Different sellers, different policies. I chatted the guy before placing the order.

Though most times they won't reply you if you are not buying in bulk

Thomsyne:
Chief, do you think my package could have arrived too?

Since march; This stuffs are unpredictable. My package was doing tour around china for more than a month; moving from one warehouse and carrier to the other before it was now finally sent to Nigeria.

Don't be surprised if you just receive a call anytime from the delivery guys. I once had my package at "Dispatched To Overseas" whereas Nipost has already called me to come and collect it; had to manually mark the order as complete because the thing did not even change from "dispatched to overseas" even after i got the package from Nipost

kingzleyz:
And see order of match never enter

Wait, your order has been dispatched to overseas since march 23rd and still never enter Naija? Jesus, i swear i suppose slap myself for complaining

lavenderjade:
Oh.. I have 15th despatched March�

Ah, see me wey even dey para for the seller o. Although it's an Alibaba order so there is a difference in the carriers

lavenderjade:
When was it despatched to overseas

14th of April

After two fvcking months

Hi, morning everyone. Been a while here

Does anyone know what this last update means, please? I researched a lot but still can't find the correct answers

jboixxx:
Any reputable technician can do that for you. You can DIY too with high little guide from YouTube.

Thanks man, will take this into consideration
