  1. Hi, i've had this problem come up a few months ago on my IS250 Sports Luxury. The VSC lights came up on in April 2013. This caused the car to go into what Ive been told is a 'safe mode' in which the car would not rev past a certain point. I had the AF and O2 sensors replaced on 2 different dates which solved the VSC light issue. However, During this time the VSC lights were still on, the PS light came on. The power steering failed, and no amount of restarts would fix it. I had to get it towed. The problem continues to appear. Restarting the car may help, but unplugging the battery seems to clear the power steering fault for a few weeks or so. The time before it would fail has progressively become shorter. SC Lexus have advised that a new steering rack is the way to go. They've quoted me $9.5K. My car has only just come out of extended warranty but Lexus will not replace it under warranty. As this is about a third of the car's current market price, I'm looking at aftermarket options. Does anyone have any ideas? Is the AF/O2 sensors connected to the power steering in anyway, or was it pure coincidence? I understand my car has had the power steering rack recall already applied.
  2. Sydney City Lexus have quoted me 'about $700' too. They said the fuel filter replacement means taking out the back seats. He advised that when I do do it, that I'd have to come in preferably with very little in the fuel tank, as fuel gets everywhere when they replace the filter.
  3. dis-lex-sic, could you PM the details of those in Sydney who supply and fit the VAIS? Sydney City Lexus quoted me something like $700 for the vais stuff, which i thought was a bit much.. PM sent. Is this the kit we are all talking bout ? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Vais-Tech-Audio-Video-ipod-Car-Kit-Lexus-Toyota-SL2Vu_W0QQitemZ190367924544QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Audio_In_Dash_Receivers?hash=item2c52d00140
