IS250 maintainance

[ed78]

Bro ed78.

Yea, Lexus Msia sure more expensive lo...
u dun really get to hang out with the mech as the service area is one floor down.
The service exec will come entertain you...that is abt it :D

I dunno if Vision Auto can solve the problem that I have now. Base on your experience do you think they are trustworthy and knowledgable?

bro,
they fall under the same umbrealla with toms bangsar. I can't really say if they can solve your problem - you will have to try and send to them first.

lets meet up tonight - i called for a tt session. bring your car and at least we can see the actual problem.

Regards,
Edwin

Bro Lathen,

They don't but got a little connection, so they do it lo
However, I htink they got new policy, only service and no more troubleshooting for recon cars.

is250

[huakenny]

what is the EGR valve for?

exhaust gas recirculation valve

recycle the ekzos gases back to the intake system to re-burn again.....

 

[IS 250]

Bro huakenny,

Thanks for the definition. Found that some of the guys in UK got problem with this device and cat converter which cause the misfiring and the warnings

is250

so how much does it cost to change the parts ?

 

[huakenny]

EGR seldom will spoils unless its accident...

otherwise, most of the time is the valve stucked due to the exhaust carbon etc..

what your mechanic has to do is remove and clean all d carbon that casuign the valve stucked

 

[IS 250]

Bro lathen,
No idea how much this item will cost. Just enquiring. Not sure if this is the problem.

Bro huakenny,
Dunno if this is the cause. Will wait for more information first before deciding what to do. Tried the coils and spark plugs, but problem still there. So now have to see other possibilities.

bro,

when d technician plugged in the diagnose tool...what fault codes showing?

 

[IS 250]

Bro huakenny,

The codes are p0301 and p0304 - meaning engine misfire. But alot of things could cause this error apparently.

is250

these codes meant 2 of the cylinders are causing problems...

have u replace airflow sensor?

sometimes airflow sensor created problem, but it can be detected in the diagnostic tool...fuel injectors also will cause this problem

but of coz, u have to test one by one...

for injector, the best ways to check is sent them to service..so u will know if its defective.

for fuel pump, check the fuel pressure wit the tester if its strong enuf to flow...

 

[lathen]

IS250, pls keep us update on how you solve the problem, because we might face the problem someday

 

[IS 250]

Bro huakenny,
Nope, I have not replace any airflow sensor before. Yea, I have read about the injectors being the culprit. Also dunno what to test first. Where can I send the injectors for serviding aa? Wing Hin?

Bro lathen,
Will definitely update all on this. Dont want you guys to suffer like me...mental torture.

hi,

my car is facing a problem same like this youtube link.

Lexus IS250 HID Turns on Then Off - Faulty Bulb or Bad Ballast - YouTube

it confuse me whether is bulb burn or water leaking.
anyone here facing this problem?

 

[waque]

Hi zhengfeng,

From my experience, the bulb need to be replaced. It happened to me a few months ago. My hid on and off for a few days, then died. After changing to new bulb, everything back to normal.

The best is to get second opinion from other people
