Can anyone tell mWiie if there is a maintenance manual for my IS 200. 

I've looked everywhere including emanualonline with no success

Hi,  how can I check the level and colour of my automatic gearbox on my is 200 ?

Also is there any workshop manuals available ?

Thanks,

I did disconnect the negative lead for a good hour and had seen on the forum that the ECU will reset itself and learn my driving style. It does seem to go up through the gears quicker than before.

Thanks Scudney.

Love the car, must admit had a leg accident last year and so have not been going on any decent length runs mainly down to shops. This will not help I know.

Thanks, no not heavy footed

Consumption is so high am thinking of getting rid of it

Have a 2001 IS200 Automatic, 49K miles only.

Fuel consumption is horrendous, could re-mapping improve on consumption ? Not getting 18 mpg.

Any advice guys ?

I mean new units, one of mine badly corroded and the other not too good either. Thanks for reply - Patrick

Has anybody bought new fogs for the above if so where and how much. ? I bought a second hand one on e bay waste of time and money worse condition than the one on my is200

Try a new Battery in your remote fob.

Hi everyone, I am new for is200 and also for this forum. I have a problem with my 2000 is200.

As normal, when I push the lock button on my keyfob, the thief detection system will be actived (beep and light once);the front mirror will be closed and the door will be locked.

However, a few days ago after I wash my car, problem happen! When I push the lock button, the thief detection system can be actived and the front mirror will be closed, but the door cannot be locked!!

From now, i need to close the door by key and than active the thief detection system. Anyone have any ideas for my situration and what can I do??

Thank.

is it the same with your spare key ?

Followed you thread Chris two weeks ago ref re-programming..

2 second hand keys with remotes on e bay £42.00

2 new blades cut and delivered within 2 days £24.00

Married them together followed the re-programming guide you suggested works fine

TOTAL COST £66.00

Brilliant thanks once again

Yep there are definitely parts missing, there should be a black plastiic shroud over the hinnge and wing area.

Part numbers are 53886-53010 and 53868-53010 "Seal,front fender to cowl side" priced around £15.00 each side.

May be better to find a pair in a scrapyard.

Many thanks Steve, I had already contacted by phone Lexus in Bolton but without part numbers he could not help me out and trying to describe this 'space' was rather difficult. Trouble is it's an 80 mile round trip to get there and back, but now I know what I'm after it will make the job a lot easier - thanks again.

Is there something missing from my Is200 ?

Both sides have a gap -passenger side looks like some kind of adhesive markings.

Should there be some kind of seal/plug. Please see photos.

If there should perhaps a photo of yours would help me out thanks.

Hi everybody,

I don't know if my IS200 2001, is missing something from near the hinges under the bonnet ?

It looks like there might have been or should have some kind of seal instead of gaping holes, there are sign of some kind of adhesive visible on the passengers side.

This is on both drivers side and passengers see attached photos.

When I test drove this great car at first they had kitchen roll paper stuffed in there !

If some kind member could put me straight and a photo of their Lexus I could probably

get or fabricate something - THANKS

Yeah exactly as it says in that post^

Thanks Chris ----- YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS IT WORKS.

Total cost.............Two second hand keys with remote modules on eBay ........ £42.00

Two new keys cut and mailed to me from Cheshire...................£24.00

I'll send you the link if required

£66.00

Was a bit sceptical at first but it does work - follow the link

Welcome to LOC Chris

Sorry been trying to get this up for you!

Thanks, at work at the moment and cannot access it through company PC. Get home tomorrow so will try then and let you know.

Seems like it's Dutch, have you tried it yourself ?

Hi,

Does anyone know if a workshop manual can be purchased for my IS 200 Mk 1.

Cannot seem to see them anywhere, only chance I think I have is Emanual Online, tried them but cannot get it to download/open they say they will help me out when I get home this week.

Any ideas ???

Hi,

Google again for me :)

Thanks Chris,

Still need to get blank keys though along with module I think or do I ?

Hi everyone,

Newbie here, recently got an IS 200 - love it.

Only has one key though -- what's the best and cheapest way to get spares ??

Can anyone help me out

Thanks for your post a great help. I have recently acquired an IS200 which I like very much, however it only has one key and no spare.

What is the best route to follow to get a spare(s). Sounds like having a key programmed can cost a fortune.
