I need a very good mechanic between Lekki - Sangotedo strip. I am tired of Mechanics, I just need someone that is honest for God's sake. Why can't we just be honest in this country, charge me whatever amount for your workmanship but tell me actual price of parts and buy original For God's sake. Mechanics are just wicked, and heartless.
PS: Please is it advisable to buy Brand New Steering Pump or Tokunbo? Please Mechos in the house reach out biko๐Ÿ™ (Please be honest๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™)

A tokunbo is best. Buy it directly from where they are butchering car. Install it and test it before u pay.new ones are inferior china

When buying anything that pump's (power steering pump, AC compressor, oil pump etc) and shock absorbers, your best bet is new and OEM.
Feel free to call 07089030689 if you need professional help with your car issues.

Hey guys,

I'm getting this knocking sound from my 2013 GS350
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MN194imQKdg

The mechanic said we'll have to replace the engine, I want a second opinion, last time the car was serviced was 3 months there was no check engine or oil pressure light.

Update: I have finally gotten the car back after the engine replacement, Thanks to everyone who contributed during the troubleshooting grin

What's your average MPG on your Lexus ES350 2008 - 2012?
Re: Club-Lexus by Bush2013: 1:18pm On Feb 14
Good afternoon great mind.
I bought lexus es 350 2007 Nigerian used last year. Everything was normal until last week when I noticed gear flare. When I first move the care it will be happening but if I stop and move again it won't happen anymore.

Please what could be the problem and the possible solutions?

Thank you.

Find a technician with highend scanner to help you scan the transmission the codes gotten will determine next step. what is the colour of the transmission fluid? You can check by loosening the drainplug a little and taking droplet samples. Nah technician go do that

Hey!!!
I'm in trouble oo.
I took my 08 es350 to a mechanic a friend recommended for shockpad change
I instructed he also changed the powersteering fluid as I noticed it gets a faint whinny sound when I drive for long... We went to drink beer, only to come back and this mechanic poured visco2000 into my powersteering reservoir. Saying it's good and works well.

Abeg what do I do now? I've driven it for 2 days now but I'm worried

Re: Club-Lexus by Maxcoded: 8:23pm On Mar 05
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
Re: Club-Lexus by 2shure: 8:34pm On Mar 05
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
Re: Club-Lexus by 2shure: 9:00pm On Mar 05
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.

Lmao, car wey I dey baby na him person dey handle laidis ? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

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
Re: Club-Lexus by 2shure: 10:01pm On Mar 05
