Been to lexus newcastle today. They have diag. the problem . They say it needs a new turbo !!!!!!!!!! This car has only 48,000 mls on the clock. My waranty ran out six month ago. I paid top whack for it off lexus and guess what.... the cost for them to fix it is £2,450. Been on to lexus uk and because i had my car serviced outside their dealerships during the extended waranty period (last 6 mt of waranty)the say i have no case for any good will off them. Seems to me they are a petty organisation. Surley a turbo should last more than 48,000 mls on a vell serviced car !!!! Any one know of any reliable turbo suppliers. A very angry brian01.

Yes mostly drive about town, only the odd long journey. The car is running well, no warning lights. Just the hard acceleration problem .

When i accelerate hard the engine misses (Kangaroo petrol like) at approx 3500 rpm. It seemes to dissapear when rpm passes 4000. If i accelerate slowly through the revs it does not miss. Feels like fuel shortage ? Got car serviced with new fuel filter and had egr valve cleaned out but problem persist's. Anyone got any idear's. It's a 56 is220. Waranty ran out six month ago typical! Looking like a visit to dealer.
