Question about Cruising Range
PilotguyPA28 replied to SusanMarie05's topic in 10 - 15 Lexus RX350 / RX450h
Susan I have a 2013 and it does the same. When the light comes on if I go soon to fill up I only get about 15 gallons. So I now know I have 3 gallons to play with. I started to take a 2 gallon gas can with me that last few gallons and purposely run out to see exactly how far it will go but after reading other comments and going past the warning a few times I'm confident that if I'm on the highway and the light comes on I can easily make it to the next stop. -
I bought an RX350 a few months ago with 25,000 miles. It now has 30,000. I just went on a 1,000 mile 4 day trip. My average for the entire trip was right at 22.5 mpg. About 95% was highway and I drove 75 most of the time. I was hoping to get closer to 24-25. Any ideas why it was 22.5? Would driving 70 give me the 24-25? Some of the time I even drove 78-80 but mostly 75. Thanks in advance. I tried searching and didn't see anything and felt this has to have been asked before. I also saw that it hits "low fuel" when there must be 3-4 gallons left.

My mirrors will adjust when I use the "preset" seat adjustment. However, when I try to adjust the side mirrors from inside neither works. Any idea what to check? Fuse? Is the "Adjustor" inside broken and needs replacing? I have only tried flipping that switch back and forth a lot of times in case there was corrosion. Didn't work. Someone at a nearby town (Lexus Dealer) said there could be a switch in the glovebox that was tripped but I didn't see any buttons or switches in the glovebox. Thanks in advance!

Should I switch from regular oil to synthetic at this point? I change every 5,000 and since 85,000 have seen twice maybe 1/4 qt. low.

Ugly Dull Headlights

I had mine done by the Dealer for $75. Lifetime guarantee. -
Just got my timing belt changed by a Toyota Dealer. I may miss something but they did the belt, pulleys, tensioner, water pump, drive belt, thermostat, flushed the radiator and refilled, etc. Had 93,000 miles and 10 years old. I wanted the peace of mind. Total cost was $925.00. Lexus Dealer 60 miles away wanted $1,400. Have owned it since 2007 and 31,000 miles. Except for $280 for a power door lock this is all I have spent on it except for oil changes, brakes, and tires. I'm satisfied.

Timing Belt Replacement - What Other Items To Change Out?
PilotguyPA28 replied to PilotguyPA28's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
No Landar. A local Toyota or 60 miles away Lexus Dealer. Depends on price. It's a '03 430LS and just turned 80,000. Still looks great and in great condition. At one time a complete list was on here. -
I like te Primacy, too.

Squeal Under The Hood Of Driver's Side
PilotguyPA28 replied to davidtjone's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
Try turning off the A/C and see fi it goes away. -
I have the passenger side front door speaker and bracket for sale. The speaker has a 2 inch tear in the membrane and some say you can hot glue them but I opted to buy a new Mark Levinson speaker. You can use the bracket to install an aftermarket speaker, something a lot of people do. Without the bracket I understand the aftermarket speakers won't fit in the door. Anyway. Make me an offer. trip6980@comcast.net

Removing Door Speaker In 2003 Ls430
PilotguyPA28 replied to PilotguyPA28's topic in 01 - 06 Lexus LS430
I ended up paying Best Buy $75 to install. I watched as he did it so I could do it next time. It was worth $75 and the total for the Mark Levinson speaker installed was $200 verses $400 at the Dealer. -
Removing Door Speaker In 2003 Ls430
PilotguyPA28 replied to PilotguyPA28's topic in 01 - 06 Lexus LS430
Ok, I've decided what I'll do. Question is......is there an airbag sensor I need to disconnect before taking the panel off? Do I need to disconnect the battery's negative? Thanks. -
Removing Door Speaker In 2003 Ls430
PilotguyPA28 replied to PilotguyPA28's topic in 01 - 06 Lexus LS430
Ok, I have the diagram and pics of how to take the door panel off. Should I be concerned about breaking anything? It looks like a 10 minute job to take it off. What about putting it back on? -

Hey BobLexus430, Will this work on a front door speaker in a LS430? Mine just started vibrating last week. Thanks! -

I found the OEM part on line for $114.00. Just not sure I can take the panel off without messing something up. -

Do you know if you have to solder the speaker or plug it in a modular plug? -

I was quoted $279.00 for the speaker and $90.00 labor. -
The speaker in the passenger side front door is vibrating. I don't play loud music but it sounds like it's gone bad. How do I access the speaker? Is there a diagram to show me how to get to it? Thanks in advance!

Battery Runs Down After 1-2 Days Of Non-Use
PilotguyPA28 replied to PilotguyPA28's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
Can't I just go out in the total darkness and look around and see? Could there be anything else that would draw current that wouldn't be a light? -
I have had a dead battery 3 times now. Water level is good. Had a friend chack the volts without and with load. All checked ok. As far as I know there is nothing on (interior light, etc.) that would be draining it. It's a 1.5 year old 8 year battery from Toyota that is right for my model. Actually, I don't know if it's the battery when it won't start (I don't check voltage then) but it must be since a jump from another battery makes it start right up. Any ideas what to look for or check? Thanks in advance!
