Lexus Is200 Manual

[SML]

Hi Folks,

Got myself an is200 2004 with 64,000 on the speedo several months ago. Looking to do some servicing on the car. Have worked out what to do but frustrated by the lack of any service manuals around. Has anybody bought the following eBay service manual cd http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=79825?

If so could you please let m know if its any good

Yes that's ok it's the same as the one that got took down, Covers everything, excellent manual to have.

[SML]

Thank you for the confirmation. Just ordered, fingers crossed

I'm sure I downloaded this for free somewhere.... Can't find it now.

[SML]

The site recommended by this site is no longer hosting the service manual http://bahamutcars.free.fr/workshop/IS_98-05/index.html. I did find a download subsequently but it consisted of many pdf files with no index and some missing parts. It's a night mare to navigate through.

[IHgs300]

You're right about that, managed to get wiring diagrams out of the mess, then gave up.

Finally got is. Looks to be the same same as the free down load but has more files and has an index. Not as good as a hard copy but I think this is as good as it gets. Might also have a few more sections I think.

Has anybody got a oil filter socket from a lexus dealer or somewhere else. Details please? I think I am looking for 73mm with 14 flats on it. Managed to get my whole hand on the oil filter from underneath the car but cannot budge it by hand and I think this is probably the best thing to use.

Here you go.

[SML]

Have you used this size? Looking at several threads I get the impression that it should be 73mm wide. The eBay one is 64.5mm wide??? :eerrrmm: :eerrrmm: :eerrrmm:

[IHgs300]

Checked again and your right the is200 is indeed 73mm, If you have a look on this thread, theres a photo if the tool with part number. You can get one from toyota or lexus.

Hope you find it of use to you.

Does no-one jab a screw driver into the can and use that to leaver them off?

i was looking at getting the same manual, but does anyone know if it will work on a mac?

[SML]

Re: Screwdriver. You might get away with it but I don't want the mess which accompanies it and there is the possibility that it might not work...

Re: Mac. Your best bet is to email the eBay seller as per my link earlier on in this thread. Good Luck.

Re: Oil filter sockets. I cannot find the individual one (on-line that is) for the Lexus from Lazer / Sealy. If anybody can find one please let me know (post your link).

It will work on a Mac if you have Internet Explorer (5.0 + ) installed. By the sounds of it, it's the same thing as the one that was freely available online but then got took down. I managed to open that using my Mac, but by booting up WinXP (which I have as a VM) and running it in IE.

If someone has this, and is willing to save it as a PDF file, that would be much more universally compatible. If someone has this CD and want's to send me a copy, I'd be happy to spend a bit of time converting to a PDF file

[IHgs300]

This has the size you need

PDF file is what i need, i can put it on my ipad then! Very handy!

I may get it and convert it myself, but i only have one computer running win7 in the house and i'm loathe to switch it on ;)

those file is already a PDF file.... it's an old pdf format (i'm sure it will works anyway) just need to open file via IE to view those file.. bought it few years back and keep the cd's on the service book since available to view online
