Thanks for the reply, what you said makes perfect sense. But this cut off of the AC also happens when im driving normally, sometimes not even moving. I will have to turn off the AC, wait like 5 seconds and turn on again and it works. On trips I sometimes do this multiple times. I have been managing for months. Since I got the car in February, Ive only touched the AC by filling gas once, coz then, driver side was cooling more than passenger side. When it's cooling, it cools well. Never touched the AC system apart from filling gas that one time
What happens when you top up the gas?
Does the compressor work fine with cool air?
If it does, then you definitely have a leak in the system that needs to be detected and fixed.

Thank you for your reply. I topped the gas at least 5 months ago, if it were leaking won't it have leaked finish, I don't know. Why I topped the gas then was because passenger side was not cooling as well as the driver side. Now both cool properly when the AC is working. but the cut off still happens,

Get a technician that knows how to use a manifold gauge and has a good scanner to scan the AC system (if it's still stuck and not abused)

Woke up this morning to go out, and my es350 07 wasn’t responding as usual. It finally came on but with lights on and the thermometer gauge not working. This is quite strange as I parked the car normally on Thursday without any glitch.

I would be grateful if someone can recommend a very good mechanic with automobile workshop for serious checks and repairs on a 2007/2008 Lexus GS350 AWD with vibration issue when car accelerates upon switching from gear 1 to gear 2.

Also, there is check engine lights, fuel consumption and noisy legs issues to sort.

Kindly assist. Ikeja/Ojota/Ogudu in Lagos.

Re: Club-Lexus by Mecoy(m): 1:42pm On Sep 15, 2023
Please I need guidance on my 2008 Lexus ES350.

It started two nights ago when the alarm went off, the usual alarm where the horn beeps at intervals.

I thought there was an attempt to break into the car, but I peeped from the window and there was no one.

I unlocked and locked it back and the alarm stopped. Few minutes kater I went down and noticed that the radiator fan was rolling on its own. I had to remove the battery terminals to stop it.

The next day, I went out with the car and there was no issues. It started the same alarm wahala last night. I had to remove the battery.

It has started the alarm again today at work, and I noticed that when I don't lock the car, the alarm doesn't go off. It goes off about 30 minutes after locking the car.

I got a rewire, and I asked him for his plan, he said he wanted to disconnect the alarm.
My fear is that the alarm could be a warning to something else that is going wrong with the car. I'm actually bothered about the radiator fan that was rolling on its own.

I don't want any rewire to mess up my car, so I need advice from experts here.

Thank you

I just got my mom a tokunbo 2004 lexus es330. It came with 16" alloy rim tyre (215/60 R16). I am conflicted as to whether to change the tyres to a 17" or 18".
Which would you recommend and why.

Thank you.

Help...I did alignment today ad well as brake pads front.my car is a rear wheel drive and we couldn't find the tokunbo of the brake pads all through the market.it was scarce.so I got new ones. After the mechanic installed it,I was there,the brake pads couldn't fit in once so he had to bend the guide and it got fit. However after doing everything,the lexus now refused to start.i mean I'd start it and it will go off. I've not changed the denso fuel pump in about 7months because it was bought directly from ebay. So the mechanic now said the car had reset and he needed to raise the throttle cable,he did ad viola the car started,but I feel some shakes on the engine ad also the steering shakes a bit. I'm having a feeling its either the ball joints are misaligned or the mechanic scattered the alignment while trying to bend the plate. Now he said the shakes are from my injectors that they need servicing.i bought about 3 injector cleaner which is green inside a plastic bottle ,still no difference. Two of the spark plugs,plugs 1 and 2were totally black.they weren't firing despite they are Brand new ngk.is tokunbo plug the best or do I need to service my nozzles the standard way,which includes flushing and testing with the machine. Help......my mpg has become worse off.

Boss, but we've been fighting this code p0157 and p0158 which is associated with catalyst together. The rewire you referred me to said it was because catalyst that I am having p0441 code which we both believed it is not related. If you can help me clear the codes is will really appreciate it and return the car to you. I don't want to put catalyst is the car. We have tried O2 spacer and it didn't work. My car is 2010 model, hope you'd remember
