  1. But if it is valve problem, shouldn't some light blink on the speedo? And does it blink at all if there are some cat problems?
  2. Dealer tells that the problem is the tyres: ballancing or damaged tyre. My problem may also be because of warped discs when i am not using the breaks. The disk is hiting the braking mechanism and the stearing whell vibrates. Try push the pedal a little bit and turnd the wheenl left right a little. If it gets stronger, it may be the warped disks problem.
  3. Same vibration with my car, but i feel it during fast lift of, and going faster. But i don't believe that it it balancing problem, because i did it ~2 times with winter wheels, and summer wheels(dunlop sp9000).
  4. Personally i changed the bulb without taking arch liner. I took the bottom security. After taking 2 screws out, take the fog out with some moves or just put the bulb in without taking the fog light. good luck
  5. I tell You, the car is too quiet!!! So some stupid quiet rattles annoys so much... My advice? Turn the music on:)
  6. Same rattle with my car, but it occurs not always, more when i go on bumpy road. It looks like some part of panel is loose. The rattle seems to be in the left side of the door (near to the safety belt). Sorry, no advice from me, but if you know what to do about it, i will also be thankful.
  7. No need to joke about my poor spelling:) however thanks about info
  8. Hello, i noticed a problem. Sometimes my car termometer shows nonsense, like today, i started the engine and it showed -23 degrees, but for real it was +6 degrees. So i couldn't use colder temp in the car, because it was blowing warm, and when i turned to +18, it blowed colder, but not cold! And it is not the first time! What the hell is wrong? i tried to reset the ecu, but it didn't help. However after few hours it was back to normal. Any ideas?
  9. :) most women don't really know what kind of car it is, but most of them really like it. i also can tell that, when it is clean, people are turning their necks while i am passing by, specially girls. During the report they cought women on their bloody days or smth:)
  10. Dunlop Sp9000, i love them, they look good, they are quiet, they stand on the road very good and they last very long. When i bought my car it was 8000 km on the clock, put the dunlop on and only now, when it is 75000 km on the clock(included 2 winter seasons) i am buying a new ones, Dunlop of course. Darius
  11. I don't have a supercharger:) so Would You recomend me to cut them out? Or put aftermarked one? And what about power? Will it increase a bit? Noise will be much louder? And what about fuel? how much it will increase? Help would be appreciated, because i have to decide what to do till friday, i have reservation in exhaust system servise. thanks for your attention
  12. SO pre-cats can be cutted out? Lexus said they can't, Check lamp will blink all the time, revs will be unstable on neutral, more fuel will be needed and noise will be louder. So what is the truth? Has anybody cutted them out here?
  13. Thank You. Will it be OK, if i change bad pre-cat with universal one, not Lexus or for lexus? It will need minimal fitting changes. And how about situation it there will be one original and one changed with aftermarked?
  14. Pre-kat is one of 2 in the front and the main is in the center of the car?
  15. The lack of power came with some time, stronger and stronger, so it is as You say, not a sudden effect, i must said not right in the topic. for replacement kat, i am from Lithuania, hope You know where it is:), so getting one prom pro-lex would be difficult, however interesting. as for the decoration on the exhaust, yes i mean exhaust tip. I have no pictures here, but i can explain. The chrome tip, that was on the exhaust pipe had 4 cm smaller hole than the stock pipe, i mean 2 cm from one side, so around gets 4 cm. I noticed that car got sluggish, so after 2 months i took it of. I think someone said it also could be the reason why it choked, because the exhaust system is very sensitive?
  16. Hi, for quite long period i was experiencing lack of power with my IS 200, 73k on the clock. Only now one engine specialist suggested me to check the katalisator. Indeed it could be the reason, also sometimes i have egg smell in my car and some burnt smell, it also shows that it can be the katalisator problem. So for new one lexus asked me 750 EURO without VAT. So hell no! I think about aftermarked one (~200EURO without VAT), but it will need some changes in pipes lenght and so on. What do you think? Will be any problems with aftermarked one? May it be the main reason of not smooth and very very slugish ride? It realy was good half year ago, and suddenly it changed! Also could smaller(~ 4 cm) decoration of exaust pipe cause katalisator to choke? Thanks in advance
  17. hi guys, could anyone tell me what should i do if i want to change the height of lights, my left headlamp is higher than the left one. What should i touch out there?
  18. I think they mean not the car lexus, they mean other cars with lexus type lamps.
  19. Congratulations, you have joined the NATION OF IS:)
  20. Again, BMW 3 series, don't know why, but they feel owners of the road. Tuned 3rd series "golp" dielel:) dir dir dir dir
  21. Change at 60k MILES B) ← Sorry, i was talking about km
  22. Spark plugs should be changed at 96 k, not 60 k. Let us know if fixes!
