Well- my local mechanic threw his hands in the air. â will need reprogramming by Lexus- youâre best to take it to themâ 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 wasnât happeningâŚ
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 Iâm released from purgatory with joy returning to my life đ
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)..
