shazy

had it 2 years done 30K miles, have had dash light up twice on both occasions cleaned the egr valve and was lucky that it cleared. also have intention of getting the dpf mapped out and that should put my mind at ease. overall the car is a pleasure to drive but the MPG is crap im getting average of 31-33MPG i would expect at least 40. all problems aside this is ridiculous for a diesel car. good car has its problems like all cars. Knowing what i know now what would i do...........if i was to buy a lexus again it would be the is250 and not the diesel.

thanks for the videos will give it a try thank you

interesting stuff keep us updated if you try it out.

Hi i have a is220d and when i walk up to it drivers side, only the drivers door unlocks. is it possible to change that so all of them unlock. does it need to be done at the dealers? thanks

the spoiler does look nice do you have a link for where you ordered it from? any more pics of your car?

I will be going with him and will definitely mention blocking the eft valve.

Thanks. I hope it is minor problem whatever the noise is. A friend of mine has got an appointment at remap24 on Saturday. Once he fits it I will ask him if it has made a difference. His car used to smoke a lot. Saying that he drove mostly local roads as well.

Hi Once fitted please give a review of the product as I'm interested in purchasing one also. Was your car smoking a lot?

Hi come across the website remap24 who have an emulator for the lexus, has anyone tried it does it work? i read previously about a powerking emulator from italy and couldnt find any feedback on it. Also on my trawl of the net i come across sinspeed who "claim" to have managed to get into toyota ecu's and can modify them to removed the dpf. i called both companies sinspeed wanted my car for a week and said costs would start from 795 and could be more depending on what else is found. remap24 wanted 550 and wanted the car for 4 hours. as remap24 is not far from me i plan on paying them a visit to see what exactly it entails. (im sick of the smoke)

i get average of 38 with a few shorts trips and some longer a road commutes to work at quiet times.

The is220D is such an awful car lack of legroom in the back, the boot space is atrocious especially having non foldable seats and dont get me started on the 6th gear. :P consumption wise i am seeing average of 40 mpg which im really happy about, 20 mile light/no traffic commute to work.

brilliant post, very informative thanks.

Not good. Never mind.

Hi Does anyone know what brand ecu is used in the is220d. mine is a 07 plate. Hoping its a bosch or siemens thanks

have you not considered getting an amp from the breakers yard.
