IanM Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi all Just an introduction. New to Lexus after buying a 2010 RX450h with 125,000 k's. Love it apart from relatively high fuel consumption at over 10l/100, and will use the forums to investigate this further. Enjoy your cars - I am looking forward to a long while with mine.

ilv1004s Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 being a 2010 model the hybrid battery will need replacing soon lexus warrantys the battery for 8 yrs or 160K kms which ever comes first the RX450h should be averaging around 7-8L per 100kms i had a this problem in a customers LS600h and after the battery change it went down by 4ls new battery installed from lexus was just under 6K so a RX450h should be abit cheaper than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanM Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Thanks ilv1004s I guessed that the battery was a likely source of poor economy. I have it down to about 8.7 l/100 through light footing it. It takes time to save money! Also looking to replace the windscreen on the car, because of light scratching by wipers that the last owner let get too thin. O'Briens just quoted me nearly $1000 AUD for a new non-OEM replacement (asking questions about rain sensors, which it has, and HUD, which it also has). Any suggestions as to a more economical approach in the Melbourne area? Thank you also for the facebook link. I will go there and have a look see as well. Any additional assistance greatly appreciated. Cheers! IanM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
