Hello Malc! Thank you for answering and asking! Everything is fine! The guy did a good job and inbetween i enjoyed some trips in my LS. Since yesterday, with Radio! 😅 Best regards, Christof

Hello and sorry for the late answer! I did not any work on my car. Too cold, i hate the winter, etc. BUT: Now my Radio is working. The preowner was so nice and ordered a other head-unit in the U.S. It came to Austria last wednesday. Yesterday i did this work and changed it. Everything is fine now! Thank you, best regards Christof

Hello again! Thank you very much! THIS is really helpful and not only a theoretical supposition. But i can check this -maybe- next weekend. This time the car is in the Service station to get the timing belt, waterpump, radiator replaced... I'll tell you if i know more. Have a nice evening! Best regards, Christof

Hello BigBoomer! Sorry... yes, i have sound. The buttons on steering wheel are also not working. Only Voice-Control is working. Best regards, Christof

Hello BigBoomer! Thank you very much for this long and helpful answer! It helps me a lot! Today my car goes to and older Lexus/Toyota mechanic... He also changes all parts (waterpump, tensioner, all screws,...) I hope, everything will goes fine... Radio: I can only switch it on/off with the Voice-Control. Nothing happens, when i push any button on the head-unit. The screen shows the Equalizer and i can change the settings on the screen... but nothing on my head-unit. I have not the President... so only heated seats in the back Thank you very much, have a nice day! Christof

There are 2 versions with the Reservoir in the middle, behind the radiator... (US market and others) And there are 2 with the reservoir left behind (when standing in front of your car) in front of your shock absorber. Like yours... 5024 is the mark (see pic) So you need the 2nd number i showed before SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH I AM FROM AUSTRIA

The 2nd part-number is what you need Or check yourself with your VIN: japan-parts.eu Best regards, Christof

Hello @all! Thank you for answering and thank you for the compliments on my English :-) i do my best @Malc1: Sorry, i forgot to show the picture... And you are right! I also trust chinese products. But i am asking, because it was not cheap. So maybe, the seller put a cheap radiator in an original Lexus-box The ATF can be filled up easily... Also correct. But i only want to know, because of buying it (...and how much of it). Thank you very much again and have a nice evening! Best regards, Christof

Hello from Austria! My name is Christof (42) and I'm living in Austria (middle Europe). There are not a lot of Lexus on the roads, but I love them. Some years ago I had a LS400 (1990) and three years ago I had two GS450h. Last week I bought a 430... Before starting to talk SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH! I hope everybody can understand!? My questions: -My 05' LS430 was imported from California to Austria in 2015. One owner, 69.000 miles, but the timing belt is 18 years old... it will be replaced next week. I also bought a new radiator, because I heard, in some cases the coolant mixes with the ATF-fluid. I bought it new from a guy who ordered the wrong one. On my car it fits. BUT: Could it be, that it is made in China? There is "CHINA" written on the Top beside the Toyota part number!? (see picture) -Should we do this radiator-job after 69000 miles? From outside, the old one looks fine... -After changing the radiator, should we fill up the ATF? Or isn't there much lost? -Mark Levinson Problem: I read a lot of amplifier failures. BUT: My radio does not give any noise... the switches are also dark when lights on and no switch is working? Fuses are ok. When I tell the Voice-Control "AUDIO ON", the Radio is working!??? But i can not turn on/off with the button, no searching with the buttons possible, can not change volume. On the screen I can change treble, bass, etc. Could that be the amp, when the radio is working and only the head unit does not work? OK... thank you very much for reading and for some answers. Have a nice day, best regards Christof
