    Problem solved all for approx £ 70 no more Done by myself 1st went to local car spares sc motor factors and brought. Wynn's DPF cleaner which you pour into fuel tank just in case it was causing back pressure Wynn's EGR cleaner which you spray into the air intake at short bursts as everybody cleans the egr itself but the not whole systems which this does Wynn's turbo cleaner. which when I used it was to clean the variable veins also spray directly into air intake in short bursts Then I replaced the air and diesel filter which wasn't needed according to lexus main dealer as my service history was upto date And filled with shells vpower instead of supermarket fuel Since I can't believe the difference in preformance. My Lexus runs so much smoother and is a pleasure to drive again the pick up from the turbo is more responsive and boosts like never before all my problems vanished .. Not sure which one done the job but doing everything really made the difference ... I did notice there was what looked like bio diesel sediment in the bottom of the diesel filter housing and filter did look dirty as did the air filter I hope this helps and for less than lexus charge for an hours labour I got everything so good luck

    Dpf ....I ran the car at 3000 4000 revs for 45 min there's no smoke black or any colour or soot since I've check the air intake to the turbo looks like new inside the front of the turbo span the impeller spins freely and no play at all on the shaft . Spoke to lexus and the say could be a blockage in one of the pipes to and from the egr valve any one know where or which one would be a common for blockage or any diagrams photos to help me locate them many thanks for all you help

    No there's no smoke at all the car has never smoked. Even before the problem. I have taken it to the garage and because its a intermittent problem they can't seem to solve it . Just removed the air intake into the turbo impeller and shaft it's clean as a whistle with no play.theres a sensor on the hard hose going to the inter cooler which had small amount of oil which I have cleaned with electrical contact spray , any more ides would be much appreciated .

    No it's not the clutch as the revs would pick up but the speed wouldn't When it happens the revs won't pick up neither would the speed just feels like it has a limiter on it and holds back as I say lts like youve run out of fuel and there no acceleration at all

    Hi I have a lexus 220d sport 07 32500 miles.. my car seem to be playing up. It starts okay and will drive, but all of a sudden it holds back like I'm out of fuel, won't rev and engine still running but no power. Had RAC out no codes on there computer, been to two independent garages and also scanned with no code found , the problem is intermittent and has Been doing it for over a week service is up-to date and Egr valve has been cleaned twice since i owned the car and cleaned when problem started , so has MAF i also changed the diesel filter when I serviced it last, even though I wasn't in the service pack, I'm stuck and have no more ideas pls help
