  1. Hi everyone, I have a 2009 RX 350 that has developed a problem recently. So to try and make this short the problem is with the air conditioner. On a hot day say when it is over 35C or 40C the air conditioner starts to work fine and maybe about 5-10 minutes later starts to blow hot air. So what is happening is the compressor cuts out. But when you browse to the AC menu on screen it still has green lit up on AC. So what i do is toggle that screen AC switch off and on again and this brings the compressor back to action and cools like no problem. And the crazy thing is it continues to run fine throughout the journey without turning off again. It puzzles me why this happens? Mostly happens if the car was sitting out in hot sun before I got in. On days that are 35C+ if I drove out of my garage the air compressor will not stop but continue normally. On days less hotter this never happens. Any ideas or areas to check? Would be much appreciated. Thank you.
  2. Thanks Jerry for getting back. I was thinking the same too but just trying to make sure i exhaust all options before I give up. Regardless of it being a serious fault or not it is quite embarrassing to startup the car in front of friends and family when it rattles this loud. And when i say loud it can be heard 5 cars away loud. I rang Lexus Australia to see if they can give me some options and all they did was get me to speak to service manager of the local dealership, who has no authority to carry out this repair for any less money. Apparently Lexus Australia has to authorise one if they ever do. Problem is looks like not enough people from Australia has brought this case up so its not considered a recall or out of warranty fix by Lexus or Toyota unfortunately while in the US it has been done that way.
  3. Hi mate I have the same issue with my 2009 RX 350 where is rattles on start. I don't service with Lexus and it is out of warranty but i still carry out log book servicing at service centres locally. The last time they did an oil change using Penrite 5w40 synthetic the rattle stopped for about a month and now its back. And it has got a bit worse than before. Are you able to tell me the exact oil brand and type you used please? I really cannot justify myself paying $2300 to the dealer to replace the cam gears as quoted by them. Thank you

  5. Wow that is a lot of views and no replies hmmm Can anyone atleast tell me if this option exists under the Toyota Techstream software which connects to the car using the OBD2 cable? If so I will get one of these cables and try to change this somehow but I have no confirmation that this feature is available under the options of Techstream for 2008-2009 RX 350?
  6. Hi Guys, Just wondering if there is a way to setup the headlights to stay on for maybe about 30 seconds after the front door is opened, closed and locked so the light works to show the path in dark areas. I used to have this function on my 2002 Toyota Camry which I could setup myself but with the RX350 there is no place I could find this plus the lights turn off as soon as the front driver's door is opened. Some guidance would be appreciated guys. Thanks :)
  7. Oh well never mind I just found out the hard way how to do it
  8. Hi Guys, This is my first post here and glad I found this forum :) On my Lexus RX 350 the non-drivers side front fog lamp isn't working anymore. I think I will need to replace the bulb but on the manual it says this needs to be done by a dealer. Is there any instructions you guys could provide me to get this done? Like as in what do I need to take off to reach the globe? Thanks in advance. Vij
