Free?? I read that they charge

Are you sure it works with lexus? Last time I checked it only worked with US spec.
-
Many thanks, will look into it

Did not know about the redesigned head gasket. Is there anyway around the head bolts? I don't put that much annual miles on the vehicle and I plan to clean the EGR every two years or so, before it gives any trouble. I have to be honest though, I have never ready anything about the injectors. Did you own a diesel IS?
-
Is it as unreliable as you say? Sure, there have been a number of issues regarding the head gasket and egr due to design flaws, but is it really that bad? How many engines which were properly serviced and taken care of had blown up? Even more importantly, since the head gasket issue has been brought to our attention, how many people had the car give them problems? Also, another point of note is that my car is less than 60,000miles. EGR gave an issue before my ownership from what I have found on the service history online. So I guess it was changed by lexus or something. My full lexus service history is from Lexus.

Yes if I buy his ECU I'll definitely keep mine just in case. What worries me is the curves on the graph. The powercurve is not smooth at all.

Remapped my IS220D SE-L 2 years ago
Bondis replied to IS220d Remapped (2 years)'s topic in Modifications & Tuning
Still holding up ok? Which company did you use for the tune? Issues with MOT regarding the DPF and EGR removal? -
What is your guys' opinion on this remap? Do you think it is more than the 2AD-FHV can handle? DPF, EGR and catalytic converters removed in this case. This guy ships a tuned ECU for 300 euro, and you send him yours, or else, 340euro for a tuned ECU and you keep yours. Opinions?
-
Ah did not understand that immediately. THanks for clarifying. As far as I know, only from the key fob.
-
Totally forgot about HKS

So there are several options: To change these, you find how in your owners manual or here https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lexus+door+lock+settings Using the door handle to unlock driver door only and lock all doors. Using door handle to unlock all doors, and lock all doors. Using key fob to unlock all and lock all. Using techstream for some vehicles, and possible the head unit for others. holding the key fob lock button closes all windows and locks all doors. Holding the key fob unlock button opens all windows and unlocks drivers door holding the key fob unlock button opens all windows and unlocks all doors. hope this helps!

Hmm that is good to know. I was looking at Teins, they look nice and can also be in sync with an electronic module to alter the settings on the go. Also, Teins are Japanese - which is something I tend to look for
-
Yes that can be programmed. What year is your vehicle? Some of them may be done via the head unit if I recall correctly. My IS220d can only be done at the dealer, or by using techstream. Instead of paying the dealer, I'd rather get techstream for the same price.
-
Yes, however, for the US spec, the F sport springs were the same for the IS350 and the IS250, hence my doubts. I guess in this case my best option will be to get a good set of coilovers with adjustable damping, so my ride quality would not be sacrificed. We have A LOT of potholes here
-
That was a bad route to go for lexus imo. All F sports should have gotten the same 'treatment'. Do you happen to know the spring rates of the petrol and the diesel? Are they different? I'd like to slightly lower mine, maybe I should go with the OE lexus F sport springs? I was once considering getting the US market springs. HR springs are cheaper though
-
Yes, mine is a UK 220d F Sport, I imported it 3 years ago. The thing is that lexus UK told me that that part number fits my vehicle, and that it was an option in the UK. I cannot actually know if mine is lowered or not. According to this the diesels were the same ride height. However mine is a sept 2010 220d. It is also likely that they were also not lowered.
-
Some people say it is the same ride height, and others say it is lower. Which is the actual statement in reality? In Europe they used to sell lowering springs as an option. The part was PZ494-C0670-00. Do not know if they were discontinued.
-
The Hoshi Alloy wheels are discontinued earlier this year. Try looking on ebay or some salvage yard. Otherwise, since they were done by Enkei, you will find similar Enkeis, although not exactly the same. https://enkei.com/shop/wheels/racingrevolution/rs05rr/

Cheers guys thank you!
-
You mean even mixing them in the same oil change?
-
In this case both have the same viscosity, but they meet different requirements. I still haven't driven it. Don't know if I should worry or not. This is the Toyota one. https://photos.app.goo.gl/qXPWM3WSopji2qzj6 This is the Lexus one. https://photos.app.goo.gl/oQwH65gg6f7hn1Jt5 They are at least bottled in different countries. Both have the same telephone number. Tried calling, but could not get through.
-
Can you share the colour code please?
-
Hi all, does anyone know the difference between Lexus and Toyota 5W-30 Oil? I only had 5L of the lexus oil, and required an additional 900ml. Since I could not get my hands on more Lexus oil ASAP, I added the 900 from the Toyota brand. Will this be fine? They are produced in different countries, and meet different requirements; the Toyota meets more if I remember correctly. Thanks beforehand

Lexus option customisation service
Bondis replied to m4rkw's topic in RX 300 / RX 350 / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h Club
They are available on the website using the MyLexus account using the VIN -
Ok I understand thanks a lot! I was concerned because we are used to switch on the one closest to the grille on the image I attached previously (is it the dipped? im not sure what it is called) just before sunset or after sunrise. I assumed that they will operate in the same manner by the auto function !
