New Generation Is - 220d Only

[BB1000]

I had the same problem ... today ... 2nd attempt .... I took out the stereo unit ... it's got a metal bracket on each side attached to the plastic part of the stereo .... I placed some foam between the plastic and metal and replaced the 2 screws on each side .... 2 runs out today an NO crack sound so far ..... really easy to do

OMFG what am i buying

picking my IS220D Se-L up next week and im already dreading it?

Its a used 59 Plate so im hoping all these issues have been sorted. What does the EGR actually do and is it easily maintainable?

The fifth injector issue? is it a reaccuring problem or is a first fix niggle?

so many more questions but I'll have to wait untill i pick it up and see for myself.

If you are lucky enough to get yourself a goodun, you will be more than pleased I can tell you. Mine was the best car I had ever owned that is until I got my 250. I only parted with the 220d because of the very low annual mileage that I do and, I learned that a diesel engine is not conducive to low mileage motoring because of the carbon build-up.

Don't dread getting the car, look forward to it. Like me you have very wisely chosen the SE-L version, brilliant. Lots to look forward to.

Let us know how it all goes.

I'd agree with all of that.

Hoping yours comes with FULL Lexus service history. Get all the info you can as to what has been done so far from your Lexus dealership. Also consider an extended warranty. I know it seems expensive but if the Head Gasket goes it can cost a packet. Think of it as a comforting insurance policy.

cheers for the heads up guys.

hope to get some pics on here and look forward to some little mods (that I'll tell the Mrs are Essential)

I said you'd be pleased, they really are superb cars. You'll also love all the goodies on it, you'll love driving it, and you'll love just sitting in it and exploring all the knobs and switches, you will also love listening to the hi-fi and, guess what, washing it will no longer be a chore, it will be a pleasure.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!!

what is the issue with alloys being replaced so often? I see above some people have changed them 3 or 4 times..is this not bad driving? I am new and clueless so forgive me if I sound daft

The laquer tends to peel off the alloys ,mine are ok on my 220d but i had an is200 petrol before this and it had 2 full new sets under warranty
