Hi everyone,

Need some help here. 

Does anyone used Techstream in an IS300h?

First of all, when connecting the car, model is not automatically loaded in Techstream. I have to chose 3 additional optiones: 1. IS300h model 2. year version (-1508) 3. radar cruise/others.

Then I see no options under Unit Conversion or PSD & PBD operation.

Someone has experience with this?

Thanks,

Bruno

No problems here with Techstream version 12.20.024 on IS300h.

The best car i have ever driven!

I have talked to a guy how works at the Dutch AA Roadside Assistance company.

He said he had never have to do something on a IS300h besides a flat tire or a empty 12VDC Battery.

He had seen IS300h with 350k

After that conversation i bought for mine a new 12VDC Battery for 50 euro and 4 run-flats Bridgestone driveguard.

So they will never see me 🙂 

Hi Shada, i,m still waiting for pictures. If you have time please add here. 🙂

I had one, very nice car but so F****g slow. Slower than slow-motion

Thanks Jason, so i don't need a new one. Drain the filter housing i saw on the video, seems like a nice and clean job to do.

Cheers,

Just installed mudguards yesterday on my vehicle.

See attachments for Installation manuals and OEM part-numbers.

I think can be done only with Techstream

Is this something which should be checked at a service (a major service anyway)  ?

Not for the IS300h

I didn't take pictures but if I get a spare half hour this week I will. 

To remove the door panel isn't difficult it requires a star screwdriver and a small trim removal tool or small flat head if careful. 

Il ad a how to for this soon too.

Yes this is for cars without the automatic function switch. 

Thank you very much indeed Shada!

I will wait to see the how-to with pictures to do it on my IS.

Nice how-to, if you had added pictures would be perfect!

Do you have some info how to remove the door trim?

Cheers, Ivo

Seams like leaking fuel injectors if it's not burning oil.

Fuel consumption like yours is not normal for a diesel.

Just read out de OBD or let someone do it for you.

How much is the engine-oil consumption? Blue smoke is burned engine oil, that explains the burned rubber smell.

About the high fuel consumption, did you check the airfilter?

I suggest begin with reading out the eobd.

2 reasons i can imagine.

Cheap and easier to recycle.

Cartridge and spin-on

Early engine oil filters were of cartridge (or replaceable element) construction, in which a permanent housing contains a replaceable filter element or cartridge. The housing is mounted either directly on the engine or remotely with supply and return pipes connecting it to the engine. In the mid-1950s, the spin-on oil filter design was introduced: a self-contained housing and element assembly which was to be unscrewed from its mount, discarded, and replaced with a new one. This made filter changes more convenient and potentially less messy, and quickly came to be the dominant type of oil filter installed by the world's automakers. Conversion kits were offered for vehicles originally equipped with cartridge-type filters. In the 1990s, European and Asian automakers in particular began to shift back in favor of replaceable-element filter construction, because it generates less waste with each filter change. American automakers have likewise begun to shift to replaceable-cartridge filters, and retrofit kits to convert from spin-on to cartridge-type filters are offered for popular applications. Commercially available automotive oil filters vary in their design, materials, and construction details. Ones that are made from completely synthetic material excepting the metal drain cylinders contained within are far superior and longer lasting than the traditional cardboard/cellulose/paper type that still predominate. These variables affect the efficacy, durability, and cost of the filter

Hi Jason thanks, i still have this one from my CT200h so it fits also on the IS300H?

I did not try it yet.

Hi, anyone knows which tool to use for removing and fitting the oilfilter from the IS300h?

Like the one using in this video at 16:00 min

i have just taken my boot apart again and still cannot find any mesh filters like yours

here are some images showing the intake to fan , fan to battery and an image of the boot

 

Hi Mark, you was almost there.

Search and you will find it, see pictures with signs i made for you.

Take the pipe out with the yellow sign. On the other end you will find the boot. (Red sign)

If you look good at your first picture you will see the bootfilter (Green sign)

Nice car btw!

Cheers, Ivo

Same story with the dust-filter from the Netherlands. 👍 Thanks for the advice.

The dealer never look at it, they only take the money for the "maintenance" 😉
