    I think you have a condenser problem or leak in your system. Normally JP cars don't need a ac recharge for at least 10 years or even longer as long as nothing is broken. Maybe you need a AC leak test

    Hello guys. I'm about to change spark plugs on my UX and I come across 2 different model stating both are for UX250h. Denso FC20HR-Q8 & FC16HR-Q8, their measurements are exactly the same. OEM parts number says FC16HR but all website selling car parts says otherwise, FC20HR are for UX while FC16HR are for NX. Even search with OEM numbers comes up with FC20HR sometimes. May I know if anyone knows which is the correct one? Many Thanksssss

    As you may notice, our A/C fan can only direct to (front + foot) or (windshield + foot). Is there any way to have windshield + front fan blowing? Thanks

    Hello, I've notice our UX's cruise control can only adjust for +/- 5mph every step, eg 60-65-70-65. Is there any way I can adjust on 1 mph each step? Thanks

    AWD doesnt means it's a off road car, it just mean the all wheels got power. Being said, AWD will always gives you better traction and safer on rain and snow. Its not only about winter tyres or not in snow, more options in power distribution on different wheels matters too. I always found the rear of my FWD UX F-sport lost traction very easily even with my new tyres, i think it's the factory suspension configuration. I've driven many cars and UX's rear's dynamic is definitely not on the stable side.

    Just did it for a day and drive around 70miles, 2.5bar front and 2.4bar rear. The car feels better, steering is sharper and less spongy but still comfortable. Mpg doesnt change but the road feed back is satisfying. Gonna keep this configuration.

    Hi, for 2020-2021 UX250H whats your Audio and Nav version? Seems my dealer havent update it at all during the service. and I cant find an option to update it myself.

    Get rid of those rubbish run flat tyres and you will get what you want, plus much better driving and comfort. I average around 47-50mpg for a long time and when I swap out the RFT to normal tyres, it went above 55mpg easily.

    On the UX250h F-sport 18" tyres, its recommended to run on 2.3bar/33psi. However I found it a bit too soft sometimes and I want to bring it up to 2.5bar/36psi. Does anyone do this and how do you feel? thanks

    Other than JBL, you can also have a look on Rockford, Focal, Pioneer or Kicker. They have some good 3.5" too. IMHO, if you only aim to replace those 2 front speaker, anything under $100 will gives you a big improvement. You dont need those expensive ones as you got road and tyre noise while driving anyway.

    I forgot the exact model, its JBL Club something Coaxial Speaker. Unfortunately i didnt take any photo , sorry about that. But I remember there's a topic here that got some simple instructions with pics on how to install. Basically, you use trim tool to open those 2 grill covers that located at the left n right corner at the front of the dash, then unscrew the stock speaker, plug in the new harness and connect the your new speaker. Screw it back and that's it. You might need to remove the driver side A pillar trim for easier access on the drive side speaker.

    I swap them with JBLs, once I swapped I found out how small and slim the stock speakers are, no wonder they feel so flat. But as you say, they are not that bad as stock, I just want some upgrade. It's basically plug and play but you need to buy a cable harness as the stock socket doesnt fit those aftermarket plugs.

    I have it for a month and decided to swap out those 2 front 3.5" speaker under the windscreen. The difference is day and night, the original speaker is very flat and dull. Its a 30min job pretty straight forward

    UK's Council is a sick joke, they charge us huge amount of council tax every month and do nothing. In my city the pot holes are so deep and big that a cat can sleep in it.

    Hi, has anyone fit 235/50 tyre instead of 225/50 to the stock 18" F-sport wheel? I know 225 are almost the max for 7J wheel but 225/50 are out for stock for weeks in my area. Would love to put 235 on it if it fits. Thanks

    Hello guys, our UX flash the indicator 3 times by pull the level half down or up when we change lane. I am wondering is there any method to change it to 5 or 7 flashes? I know other old Lexus can change it by the wiper lever up down up down 7 second then neutral procedure but UX only got 1 up position in wiper lever. Had anyone success to change the flash to 5 to 7? Thank you.
