Hi Everyone- first post
I bought a GS450h on an 07 plate a couple of weeks ago and took it to a local garage this evening ready for an MOT tomorrow morning.
Just before the garage closed, they phoned me and said that there were some worrying codes showing up on their scanner. I’m picking the printout (and maybe the car) up tomorrow, so I’ll post which codes are appearing then. Hopefully some knowledgeable people will be able to help me out.
I have a feeling, having read through quite a few posts, one of the codes showing is P0017, the one to do with crankshaft position - camshaft position correlation. The mechanic didn’t tell me the code (he’s printed them off for me) but did mention this and that this could be a timing chain problem. I’m hoping this is not the case (obviously) and that the fixes I’ve read about on the forum, to do with cleaning out the filters etc, work for me.
Another of the warning lights I have is the TPMS system. I’d already told the mechanic about this but he mentioned that his equipment can’t recode new sensors even if he fits them, which brings me to the point!
Does anyone know of any independent garages in the Peterborough/ South Lincolnshire area where the mechanics are more clued up on Lexus cars? If not, how would I find one? Is there a way of locating a “Lexus approved” mechanic in my area?
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers
Dave
