  1. Hi all.just wondering is it an 860mm or 850mm belt for the is300h v ribbed belt /water pump belt ? There is 2 sizes available
  2. Has anyone noted this ? It took me 3 attempts this morning to erase the tyre pressure warning light off the dash with the reset button due to the cold weather
  3. Hi all .I'm just wondering when was the recall on the is300h for the water pump ? Also is there a way of telling was it replaced? My 2016 fsport has 90k miles on the clock and has full lexus service history
  4. Surprised the hybrid battery pack was changed as they don't fail to often .what mileage is on it ?
  5. To update I bought a set of Denso Hybrids from Euro Car parts and tested them today on a wet 2 hour journey .I'm well impressed .no noise , and do the job well . Maybe not as fancy looking as the Bosch Aerotwins but doing the job well
  6. I have Bosh Aerotwins fitted to my is300h f sport for the last 6 months. Very disappointed with their noise levels after 6 months of usage . I'm hearing alot about Denso Hybrids . What's everyone's option /opinion ?
  7. Normal .mine does the exact same from the day I bought it . 2016 fsport 👍
  8. Hi all Just wondering do all F sport Is300h come with AVS and is it active all the time ? Also what is Sport + mode ?
  9. Just on this topic . I think the steering is heavy in the is300h anyways . I noted this from day one on my 2016 f sport
  10. I agree. Red painted calipers isn't my thing at all . Black or a dark silver/grey looks clean and tidy
  11. Had an Audi sline A6 for 5 years and made the switch to an is300h Fsport at the beginning of this year . Build quality wise , I'd have the Audi slightly ahead . My is300h is a fresh car and has some creaks from dash and slight wind noise from windows when at speed. Reliability wise , the Lexus is street's ahead .the first 6 months of owning the audi broke my heart . Only for a good warranty with the dealer, I would have been out of pockets a huge amount. After all had been fixed , the audi was a great car . But as I said , I'd have more faith in the lexus . Comfort , even though the audi was am sline with 20inch alloys and a hard suspension, I think it was a more comfortable car than the lexus . Driving experience, the lexus to me is a very nice place to be .Long journeys are a delight and the fact that it's a smaller car than my old audi, means it's easier to park, manoeuvre etc. Running costs , the lexus is a petrol, the audi was a diseal. Enough said . I went with the is300h as I only drive my car at the weekend, I have a company vechile for during the week . Service costs seem about the same aswell. Overall I honestly think the is300h is a great buy for anyone seeking Reliability, comfort on long journeys and a good driving experience. Also there is literally thousands of Audis and BMW on the road these days . The lexus to me is a bit unique
  12. Here’s a good product I've just found on the Mister Auto app: Condenser, air conditioning https://www.mister-auto.ie/condenser/van-wezel/56015701/ Irish site .but may post to you
  13. Noise is actually from the water pump area . It was a crazy warm day when it happened, after a 30 mile run . The noise hasn't happened since
  14. Mine is the same .2016 f sport .I also thought this was strange .I have read other forums and it seems normal
  15. Sorry about the video. I acutally thought it was about 20 seconds long .but turned out to be 3 seconds. I scanned all with carista and all 👍
  16. To update .this noise is after all is shut off .and continues for about 1 minute
  17. Hi all Noted this the last 2 days on my is300h . Its warm here, very warm and after running the aircon on a journey, after shutdown I get this noise for about 1 minute coming from the compressor area of engine after engine is off . It's probably always been there and now that it's warm, it might be more noticeable. I always run my aircon, regardless of weather and its worked perfectly since day one . Anyone have similar? 20220717_151125.mp4
  18. Is everyone's figures on this based on the dash readout or an actual mpg calculation?
  19. 2016 f sport on 18s .. I'm nearly always in eco mode . 45mpg on long runs 51mpg was my best yet . I only drive the car at weekends also
  20. To be honest when I bought the car earlier this year it had 2 previous services from non main dealer garages so the main dealer service history was broken already. Regardless I just didn't have the time nor finances to go the main dealer route this time round. The only thing the indu service lacked I guess was the hybrid health check and warranty . To be honest I'm not too concerned about this for now . The car is flawless and from what I gather , these hybrid systems don't go wrong... In 10k miles I will drop the car into lexus and get the 100k mile service done through them
  21. Went with my Indy this time around for a 90k mile service. Oil change , air filter , oil filter , pollen filter and hoover of the car for €150 euros all in. The main dealer just wasn't an option this time round as we have 2 cars in the driveway and both required services 😞 anyways I will go back to Lexus for the 100k mile service as its a big one I believe .....
  22. As the title . I'm just wondering where you are getting is IS serviced? Lexus main dealer or a good Independent
  23. I too noticed the rattly housing on the reg plate lights . I was surprised by it to be honest .
