    Sorry maybe i didnt explore this threads deeply enough to get to your thread. Since i'm not from UK or Europe, (i'm from Brunei Darussalm, but using UK spec of IS220d), it would be a problem to me to get the cleaning fluids as you guys were using. well for the BG244, i just got the feed back from the internet when i googled for the item. i don't know if it would solve my problems. i would, with all respect, to try the other cleaning fluid other than BG244 if it could solve it.

    the problem is,

    1) where to get it

    2) do they ship it to me in Brunei Darussalam?

    this is because here in Brunei, they don't sell these kind of product. if you can give me some help to where & how to get it, it would be great.

    thak you

  2. Normski,

    i did the diagnose thinggy and it appear to be the DPF (P2002 Diesel Particulate Filter Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)). i did cleaned it.

    then the EGR; i removed it as the instruction i get from this forum and i clean it as clean as possible. the car runs normal for few hundreds miles. and guess what, it came on again and the car turns to limp mode.

    is there anything that i can do other than that? i've tried the additives, cleaned the EGR & DPF.

  3. Dear friends,

    i owned a Lexus IS220d bought from the UK. It already has 70000 miles on the clock. Im from Brunei Darussalam, ASEAN region fyi.

    Ive been using the LiquiMoly 5/40 motor oil before then i change it to Voltronic 5/40. since then i've got problems. it started to lost power with the VSC/Engine Check/Traction Control light up. After making some research, i can solve the problem with the EGR by cleaning it. All the particulate/soot builds up in the EGR. but by cleaning only will not solve the problem 100%. After about 1000+ miles, it start to come back again. for about >5mths, i assume that the motor oil that im using (voltronic) is not suitable for the engine and recently i changed back to LiquiMoly and hoping that it will solve it.

    the question is, is it the right thing to do if i install an oil catch tank? i googled the function of it and they mentioned that it will trap the soot/particle in it and only pass cleaner fume/gases back to the engine intake for recommbustion. is it correct? correct me if im wrong.

    Thank you, would be happy to hear for your response.

  4. hi guys, just want to share with all. i'm from Brunei Darussalam and here in Asia, we don't get IS220d through our Lexus dealer.it's only sold in Europe. So when i knew all about it (Lexus with diesel engine) i'm so exicted of it just because it can save me alot.( Here its cheaper to buy diesel fuel than patrol). To cut it short, i've been experiencing bout the Dpf filter blocked and cause VSC check, engine warining and traction control to light up. After making my researched, i found out the main reason why IS220d doesn't sell here in our region.it's because of the bad quality of the diesel fuel. it causes the DPF to blocked. i survey the DPF itself from eBay and it cost me ALOT to purchase and also it's shipment. So when i found out that the DPF can be remove from the vehicle but we need to remap the ecu, i went to our local garage and have a go with it. the problem is we can do the ecu remap. so theres only 1 thing for us to do without remapping the ecu.

    firstly, we remove the DPF and we break the DPF filter inside it with a long steel till some of the filter inside the catalic comes out. the theory is to get the exhaust gas flow unrestricted/unblocked. then we install the DPF right back as per normal with all the O2 sensors. once we start the engine, all the warning has gone. (but if you still had the VSc light up, might as well reset it through diagnose). now the car runs even better. the power and acceleration has increased. hopefully it will never comes back. if you worry bout the smoke coming out of it, you don't have to. in my case, it doesnt. (well, puff of smoke maybe as you accelerate. as i guessed its normal for turbo cars.)

    cheers guys.

  5. Hey guys, i had a big problem. Once in a while my IS220d, during idle after short run with 1st & 2nd gear, it gives out quite alot of white smoke. My first guess was the turbo. I thought it has leaked. But during driving on the highway, on the 6th gear and then back to idle, the smoke has gone. I've monitored this situation will only occur when i'm stuck in traffic, when in in the 1st gear. Can anyone explain to me why/how does this happen? And the countermeasure pls.. Thanx guys.
