Wait is this the reason you bought IS220d? 

You really deserve a trophy for your sense of humour now! That is actually half of the reason. The other half is blanking the egr, removing the dpf and the catalytic converters, giving a good burnout and dumping the tyres in the bushes 😉

I recommend 50k ............... £50 if you do it yourself ............but 100K if you are a cheapskate !....... and 185K if you are broke or a skinflint !

As far as I am concerned, there were no issues all the way to 188k... when we removed the sump at 193k the AT fluid was basically brown and disgusting, but hey - chocolate is brown as well!

Replaced the the fluid and car drives like new, no error codes either. Checked the magnets on the sump and they barely had metal dust... as far as I am concerned now the car is good to go until 300k.

Just don't forget to leave the car there as well!

Will do so when I get the LX450d to remove the DPF and EGR as well mate.

good luck on your mission ruining the environment, just be careful not to be caught in the forest with your pans down 👍

Well, this thread kind of went sideways, didn't it? 🙂

And why I am not surprised that Linas is involved?😉

Thanks for the pictures, very interesting.  It doesn't actually look that bad so I am surprised.  How many miles on the car?

I have to keep up the standards, are we now going to say it is ok to remove DPF? What is next pictures and detailed instructions (not like it is difficult to weld pipe but still).

Makes sense then as that isn't many miles.  Still, I am sure it will help since it does look a little clogged.

Tis was more of a joke Linas 🙂  You know me, I am always happy to have a chat with you on this forum, but one thing I will say is that I have found it is rare to change anyone's mind on here, so once you have said your piece then the rest is probably just a waste of time.

Probably you are right, but I quite enjoy typing... you know winning argument on the internet is key! 😁
