Thanks to both of you , will have a look at fuel system cleaner , egr valve . Will update

Steve, thanks for the update on the warranty , it doesn't smoke on start up at all ( even when it's cold ) was thinking dpf other day and took it for a good run in 4th gear pulling 2k revs . , I haven't had a dpf warning on my dash . Baffled by it all really , hoping it's just the dpf ( the blue smoke , regenerating itself ) as I say it's intermittent and seems to do it at any time then it goes . oil topped up monthly ( castrol edge 5w 30 ) . No loss of coolant , power etc. ,

Apologies , jemca sidcup wanted £120 for putting two bolts in my heat shield

Hi gents , many thanks for your replies , Steve. I have been reading the many issues facing this model ( the dreaded diesel ) , I have contacted my local lexus dealer and they say my car hasn't had any recall , ( not aware of gasket issue myself 5th injector ? ) was this a lexus recall ? , must admit my local lexus ( jemca sidcup are pretty much stuck up and a little unhelpful ) I did have a major major service done there (£ 700 ) and they picked up usual discs and pads , caliper etc , rattly heat shield and that was it ( incidentally had my brakes discs , calipers done in Hungary at a Toyota dealer ( 300 all in ) . They didn't do my heat shield as they wanted£120 for putting two bolts in ( halfords did it when they put new tyres on . Zoran , blocked injector ? I use premium diesel would it still be worth putting an additive in on next fuel up ( millers etc) . Thanks

Very new to the forum , I have a 2006 lexus 220d . 75k miles . Had a major service at 67k . Prior to that a little lexus history . Recently I have noticed bLue smoke intermittent ( happens ad hoc ) when engine is hot .,this doesn't happen on cold start . Obviously burning oil , could this be my valve seats?blocked diewsel jets ? Any advice appreciated thanks

Hi all , new to the lexus club so hi everyone Seeking thoughts on a low Rev rattle then I'm assuming is coming from my centre heat shield . Lexus have said the brackets are corroded and it will cost £250 fitted . Anyone know a good independent in southeast London . Many thanks

My first post and seeking some guidance I have recently changed my HID bulbs . They both turn on from start and after a while one will go out ( intermittent drivers or passenger side ) if I turn off and back on they generally both come on and process starts again .ive checked and swapped bulbs around ( same issue ) .question for the forum is could this be a relay issue ( presume there's only one for the headlights ) .ballast seems fine as both bulbs come on from cold .seems they cut out once warm .is this a garage job or can I change relay if it is the relay .very frustrating as its my first lexus
