Hi All

I have an annoying humming sort of noise coming from the front wheel and I suspect it is the drivers side. The noise is constantly there and can be heard in the car so I put the stereo up but it is annoying me now as I have lost the quietness.

I have the same two tyres on the axle (Dunlop Sportmax RT), I have replaced the pad, discs and calippers so dont know what else it could be. The noise is not speed related, I mean go up or down, but more noticeable at 30MPH or right after getting off the motorway which I experienced this weekend.

I have replaced the lower ball joint, which was really hard to get off my my mech and needed a lot of hammering to take it out, Could it be that my hub is damaged or the bearing needs replacing. I really want to get to the bottom of this and would appreciate any advise?

I dont know what a bad hub or bearing sounds like and are they the same thing?

Should I just buy a second hand unit and replace it to find out?

Cheers guys :)

I've heard the same problem on my IS220D, but it disappeared, and it comes from the front o/s wheel.

Swap the alternator, see what happens. I had the same problem, called the AA and he told me to change the alternator, turns out, it was  faulty, even when it showed 14V on the multi metre.

Do not touch the fuel filter, it is the worst job on the planet. I don't use the 6th gear at 70, it's near impossible. I had the same problem, I cleaned out the EGR valve. It is easy to remove and clean and the performance has improved.

I have an IS220D (2007), it loses power occasionally, I changed the fuel filter Because I suspected it as I mistakenly put petrol when I bought it, but had it drained) and had to replace a broken filter housing, at a huge cost (because it is notoriously difficult to change the fuel filter housing on the IS220D). It still loses power occasionally. I now have  VSC and engine lights and a VSC warning light on! I know the EGR valve might need cleaning. Does anyone know where I can get an uprated EGR valve system? I know it might have to come with an upgraded (exhaust) manifold system. I got the Lexus very cheap, and as it is a beautiful car, I want to do it justice, but I won't be robbed by Lexus dealers. Please help guys!!

Thank you, it's all done, gave me a runaround but I got it in place. I changed the filter because I suspected it for the car losing power occasionally and jerking. The power loss/and jerking still happens and I use sulphur free diesel. Any ideas?

Due to the Pandemic, I had to ask a mobile mechanic to replace my fuel filter. It took him 3 hours to remove the housing, but couldn't open it. He went to put it in the vice and broke one outlet. I had to look for a replacement, which I found. Now I need to put it back myself, problem is there is not enough room to see the top fuel pipes. Because I didn't see which pipe he removed from which outlet (BTW it is 23930-26010). Can someone please supply me with a diagram of how I can replace all these fuel pipes. It is a nightmare getting the housing in place. Please help. (IS220D manual 2007)

Have you got a diagram of the Is220D fuel filter. There seems to be 4 outlets
