guttered, i was rooting for you. so how much are lexus charging to replace the parts?, i am just considering weather it is worth going down this road. i have booked mine into lexus next week as the independent is struggling to find the fault. he now says it needs a new fuel rail, but it all come with maybe. there is no way i am going £1200 on a may be. so i am hopefully going to give lexus the headache and see if they can be embarrassed in to fixing it maybe one of us will get a solution

hi badger, just had the garage on the phone, after a week they have discovered that the fuel pressure sensor has an intermittent fault. most of the time it is fine but then it will not function correcllt and then return to normal. it is going to be changed so lets see will keep you update, any news your end?
-
ps, how far did it go before it did it the first time this morning and did it cut out thanks
-
just a thought, mine developed this after i forced regenerated the DPF , wonder if that is linked ?
-
its an independent like i said i can get the lights to clear, but it comes back when it has been left over night, see what yours is like in the morning. that is when i have the problem

hi badger it has 119k on the clock and will average about 32mpg some town some motorway driving but it has got progressively worse it used to do 38mpg. i have to clean out the erg every 5k, but i dont know if this is related, i have had the fuel filter changed this week, but made no difference, i was told that there may be a small leak from one of the unions, and as the car is left the pressure drops. when the car is started it sucks in some air and when this reaches the injectors then it will cut out. what do you think, does yours cut out, mine will go into limp mode then stall..

Hi Badger, i have a similar problem with my lexus 220d, it will start on a morning and run fine for about 200 yards then cut out , VSC, TRC, and EML will come on. it goes into limp mode. when i put my code reader on it it shows p0093 major fuel leak. if i clear the code the car will run ok all day, until it is left over night then we have to go through the same process. is this the same for you ? i am stumped on what is going on with it. thanks mackemade

hi thanks for the advice, i will pop it down to my local garage, there is no fuel leak that i can see, the engine does crank a couple of more times than normal when it is left. after that it will crank straight away. thanks adrian

hi my is 220d does not start instantly when left over night, then in the space of driving it 200 yards it will loose power VSC, Traction and EML will come on. Put a code reader on it and it shows P0093 Major Fuel leak. If i clear the code it will run fine. engine does sound a little louder than normal and there is a slight hissing coming from the back of the engine when revs drop but you would have to listen for this closely. Can anyone help / Advise please
