Put the recommended fluid and guage it properly. What out for shortage of the fluid. If there s no shortage and the noise continues then the pump is bad . Return it asap and get a new one if you can. Most of these wicked 2nd hand dealers will never be honest.

Thank you. I have been able to sort it out. Had to return the pump and get another one

Lexusgs430:



Did you put the correct fluid in the PS container?......

Yes I did. I had to get another pump. Thanks for your help.

Please what is legroom or low ground clearance... sorry for the question... I am a newbie

Low ground clearance means the car is quite low. You will have to be careful when driving over a bump or navigating a pothole, so you don't scratch the underbelly.

If you are above 6ft, you will have trouble sitting at the back of an IS350 because of small legroom. The distance between the front seats and back seat is shorter than 'normal'.

I would like to join the Lexus WhatsApp group.. Please admin should add me up

Hello Guys,

Please I need recommendation from someone who uses or knows about Lexus IS 250 series. I want to buy it.

My lexus gx460 has a problem oo. Between 80-110 km/hr the steering vibrates a lot especially when I step on the brakes but once I'm no longer in that speed range everything goes back to normal.
I have done wheel balancing at 2 different total filling stations and also changed brake discs and brake pads but problem persists. Please how do I fix this

My is250 had exactly same issue after I changed my four tires.

1st I checked all suspension system, its very much okay

2nd I did allignment nd wheel balance, at first it worked for a day, den d problem persist nd I repeat 2 more times nd got fed up.

lastly, I had to check my car manual for the correct tire psi and I found out I am supposed to use 35psi for the front and 38psi for tge back

I went to a vulcanizer shop nd removed the excess air from my tires since I was using 45 ignorantly

immediately I did dat till this moment (thats over 3 months now). I neva ever experienced the vibration again.

you should check yours too, might be the culpit.

Legroom: space where you can put your legs while seated. Like how relaxed can your legs be or you’d have to fold your legs if you’re tall.

Ground clearance: how tall to the ground a vehicle is. That’s the bottom of a vehicle to the ground.

doublesigh:


Bought the car right before the protests started. The protests didn’t give me enough time to do the comprehensive insurance.

Sorry to hear about your plight.

Next time, just go online and get yourself a comprehensive insurance. You need no one to help you. Wapic and Axamansard are both online.

Cheers.

I used my Lexus RX330 for 6.6years without injector cleaner or fuel addictive.

Boss, what particular year was this please? I learnt from 2006 upwards premium fuel is required.

blissbliss:


Boss, what particular year was this please? I learnt from 2006 upwards premium fuel is required.

I think from 2000, premium fuel is recommended but not required. In 2010, premium fuel was required, in 2012 upwards premium fuel was recommended till 2018.

Pls I drive an ES330 2006 and lately I noticed when I accelerate it’s like it jerks once slightly before accelerating, My friend said it’s faulty gear box but I did a scan and it threw up a speed sensor code. Apart for that slight jerking, the car works perfectly well. Pls any suggestions?

Thanks for the clarification Sir.

Quick one please, between Rx 2004 to 2009 which three years would you recommend?

The more recent the better, but the unit with the cleanest state and history takes it for me.

It's a luxury saloon. Every car would cost you money to maintain, maintain it regularly..... It would serve you well......

Abuse it, it would abuse your wallet and your sanity......

Don't buy the hybrid version........ Get it technically inspected, not by a tyre kicking musa.......

THANKS ALOT SIR...Tire kicking Musa

Pls how often should I service the gear box of my 2009 es350 and what is the recommended oil and qty to be used. How do I know when it is due for oil change?

Not very often, once you change it during routine service. It should last your ownership of the vehicle........

Don't change the oil from the original fluid inside, to an unrefined groundnut oil.....


I think this is what you need...... Dexron VI ATF......

Hello pls I need a response to this

Work with fixing the speed sensor but jerk depends on what type, jerk can be associated with fuel supply, hesitation in acceleration or gear issues. But physical inspection can help pinpoint.

But what speed sensor error?

Pls all, The VSC and TRACK OFF lights of my ES330n are on,

Any ideas of what is wrong and how to go about fixing it.

Thanks

The hesitation in acceleration has been consistent with the jerking issue

The Lexus manual recommends only Toyota type WS. That transmission is sensitive.

Use only genuine Toyota transmission fluid Type WS. For draining and replacement of fluid, you need only 2.5L and should be done around 30k miles.
