  1. Lexus dealers are trained by LEXUS not to tell the truth about the is220d and the poor piston rings in an attempt to avoid a very costly recall (penny wise and pound foolish) very soon they will have to make this recall with an embarrassing apology in eu this time Some shocking documents will soon be available so stay tuned

  3. Dear Robby, Hi again, as you have correctly stated your car IS220D suffers with lack of power and high build-up carbon within the EGR. Combustion byproduct or none combusted synthetics which accumulate within the manifold and the EGR. The question for all should be why such a high accumulation? In an attempt to explain and understand i will take you through the following process which is highly relevant to common sense as well. As you can see in rapex recall Lexus only consider danger if the spring valve after deterioration becomes broken. What rapex didn't realise in what Lexus has very cleverly stated does not allow consideration over danger for the years before and during deterioration period of before the spring eventually becomes broken. Here must be understood that the only way you can have high build-up of carbon in most common cases is either piston rings or valves and spring valves is the result of high oil consumption. The danger with high oil consumption in this case is not only the build-up of carbon in the parts outside the engine but also within the engine and before the exhaust. This will lead to loss of power, engine cutting out and stalling. This is also a dangerous matter that Lexus did not refer to. With respect to the is220d everybody is puzzling their heads thinking that the problem is within the EGR valve and not with something else that causes the matter of the high build-up. So my advice is check your oil consumption. If you have knowledge of high oil consumption then you should expect high build-up of carbon within everything after the exit valves. The EGR can not be responsible for it, but can only be one of the side effects of high oil consumption, which is more than likely relevant to faulty materials or parts within the engine and the functioning of it (piston rings or spring valve deterioration). Once you realise that anything you do does not resolve the problem then i will suggest you get the head casket removed and check the condition of the engine. Currently the is220d is under my personal investigation and any information we can gather together can be a great benefit. Happy Easter :)
  4. is your car before 08/2008 the only reccal ever made by lexus does not include is220d .information about official recalls you Fint in rapex maybe lexus is trying to hide something RAPEX is the EU rapid alert system for all dangerous consumer products, with the exception of food, pharmaceutical and medical devices. It allows for the rapid exchange of information between Member States via central contact points (the National Contact Points ) and the Commission of measures taken to prevent or restrict the marketing or use of products posing a serious risk to the health and safety of consumers. Both measures ordered by national authorities and measures taken voluntarily by producers and distributors are covered by RAPEX. the reccal states the following Category: Motor vehicles Product: Passenger car - Lexus GS and LS Brand: Lexus Type/number of model: GS450h, LS460, LS600h e LS600hL. Year: 2006 to 2008. Description: Light Passenger Vehicle. VINs are available in the attached document. Country of origin: Japan Injuries The product poses a risk of injuries because in the valve operating system of the engine, which contains multiple valves in each engine cylinder, there is a possibility that the strength of the valve spring may degrade, causing the spring to break. If one of the springs in the engine breaks, an abnormal noise and rough engine performance will be noticed. In the worst case, the engine could fail and stop suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. Voluntary corrective actions taken by the importer. Poland Bulgaria Ireland Hungary Finland Netherlands Sweden Lithuania Greece Malta
