Hello Prash Thanks for your info. I asked my Lexus dealer to have a look at what caused the coolant leakage and they said they couldnt find anything wrong. I didnt know at the time about any issues with the head gasket so I left it there. Hello Steve2006 I purchased the car around a month or so ago. I purchased it from a non Lexus dealer. The car has a Full Lexus Service History. It seemed ok today when I drove it at normal speed around town, no leakage but I'm guessing when I hit the motorway tomorrow I will have trouble again :( Regards, Dave.

Hello All I was wondering if anyone could confirm if my is220d has a head gasket problem. I have recently purchased an 06 is220d with 112000 miles on the clock and have covered a further 7000 miles over the past 2 months. I recently noticed some coolant loss from the overflow pipe on the coolant tank. It seems to only loose coolant whilst I am driving at motorway speeds and revs above 2,500rpm. Low revs and speed seem to have little or no effect. When I unscrew the cap there seems to be a lot of pressure which causes further coolant to escape from the overflow pipe. There doesnt seem to be any power loss and all is fine when the tank is topped up. I have read on here about the extended warranty but it seems I may be just out of this cover :( Lexus replaced a bulb the other day and said they couldnt find any leaks and suggested I keep an eye on the coolant level. Is this a head gasket problem and if soany tips on how I may get the extended warranty to help me out? Would a coolant system stop leak additive help here or would this be a waste of time? If no chance with the extended warranty then would I be best to get a non Lexus dealership to replace the gasket to reduce the potential £6000 bill? Thanks for any help. Dave.
