  1. Yesterday
  2. I had the same problem that year and had to leave my car at the service center for two months, hopefully you've fixed the problem by now! good luck
  3. I realize it's been a long time, but what happened in the end, how did you solve the problem?
  4. Last week
  5. We’ll going by the lack of availability of used parts from the car wreckers it’s more common than we think. There are Chinese abs module knock offs available but dubious quality? and delays sourcing those. One thing I hear is regular brake fluid replacement ( every 2 years ) is good insurance against abs system failure ( lots of fine passages that can get clagged up in module) and also as a first port of call if experiencing abs issues ( which Lexus tried but sadly to no avail in my case 😪
  6. sounds like a costly exercise never really heard of these going in the 450h esp
  7. Well- my local mechanic threw his hands in the air. “ will need reprogramming by Lexus- you’re best to take it to them” his parting words. Rang my local Lexus dealership and was told $220 to analyse the fault. As per prev analysis- new brake booster pump , accumulator and actuator module needed replacing. Cost for new Lexus parts 14k!!! Paid not a lot more for the car used so that wasn’t happening… Lexus kindly offered to ring around the car wreckers for suitable used parts . After several days trying- result nil. Long story short I hit the phones and internet and within a couple of days found two complete units- one wanted $3500 the other $1000 posted from NSW. A few days later parts arrived and I took them to the dealership and was quoted $1550 to carry out the work. Got a txt a couple of days later- car ready. All up repair cost inc used parts & labour $2550. I also had my mech replace a wheel bearing and hub which he thought might be causing the abs fault due to play at one of the speed sensors ( probably needed doing anyway) $550 so $2550-$3100 depending how you cut it and I’m released from purgatory with joy returning to my life 🙂 Purchased 3rd used 450h yesterday. Love the car- so comfortable and well thought out with maybe the design of the abs system not perfect . Seems there was a recall regarding the abs ( in the states at least)..
  8. Nothing but 98 since brand new, so yeah... very little gumming up the works. I'm having your dilemma about doing a gearbox flush. Car drives perfectly fine at 160,000km, but oils really aren't "for life" but I don't want to regret the decision either way.
  9. I have a brand new NX 250, just found out after I filled up the gas, when I close the gas cap, based on the manual, a click sound (only once) should be heard when tightening the cap, but I can't hear any click sound even though I have tried multiple times, but the cap seems already tightened. Is this normal? Should I tighten/try harder (just be afraid if it will break something since it is plastic)? Any help/thoughts please?
  10. Ill guess you use decent premium fuel since you've had it? Thats a good thing then you didnt notice any difference! mines onto 185000k but is running great so ill do some more research. It appears not to many on this forum have done it! Cheers, thanks for your reply.
  11. Did it around the 100k mark. Made lots of smoke, didn't notice any other difference.

  13. Hi Bazzle, First of all thanks for the help with the Sat nav files and the help to others with where to service it. I have been servicing my old car at PMA Ringwood and got my first 2006 Lexus is250 from them as well(just 2 days ago). I called up two Lexus dealership (Blackburn and Melbourne cbd) The CBD spare parts person (Patrick) was very nice and welcoming. Melbourne cbd I guess has a dvd which is updated till 2018 but would cost $500. He suggested to maybe look for after market system at autobarn. But there is hope, I was able to pursued him that if his boss won’t mind if they ever wish to chuck the dvd in the bin might as well give it to me and I can use it (maybe rip it and share it with the community ). Currently I’m planning to maybe update the files myself. if I’m missing anything in the car or any more tips and tricks of the car is welcome.
  14. Hi all, I'm on this site because I'm a NavigationAU victim as well. I bought (for $350) what was supposed to be Australia V29, 2023 for my 2003 Jaguar XJ8 and lots of emails were exchanged. I threatened to take it to Consumer Affairs and he said "you can take it where ever you like". Put in any car and that page comes up with various models. They appear to be in the UK so the organisations I complained to said they can't touch them. NavigationAU hey? I wonder how many other names they use. Back to why I'm here, I put the disc in the computer and amongst all the files, which show images of both AU/NZ, it also mentions Toyota and Lexus. I thought beauty, now I can sell it and going by some of these posts I'd only sell it to someone parked out the front making sure it worked. And what version it really is. Really glad I got my money back from the bank but I have maps that are no use to me but could be useful to someone else. For reference I got the right maps from Navshop but V24, 2017.

  20. Morning All! So ive scoured the web for a couple of hours and yes ive searched this forum but get conflicting information. Question is it it worth the drama of codes being thrown up and rough running engines and crazy idle to clean a throttle body? Even YouTube shows different methods of doing it on 2006-2011 is250's. Some leave it on to clean the front, then to clean the back they manually push the butterfly flap. Others say no no no don't do that it confuses the computer. Taking the body off would be the correct way to do it but then apparently you have coolant pipes attached to it which need to be disconnected then the cooling system purged of air. I might have missed it in my search but I don't see any write ups here from someone who has done it. Whats peoples views?
