steviej Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I usaully don't do this sort of stuff, but I thought it too good not to take a chance and copy a post seen on ClubLexus. It is for Lexus owners that have had problems with the charcol canister and EPV. The words in blue where copied from a CL post, the link is at the bottom. Mine is an ES-300 98 model with 60K miles. I had the same problem with the error code 0440 which requires a change of charcoal cannister and EPV valve. Lexus dealership gave an estimate of 850 $ for both. I called the customer service no and showed them the case which Toyota/Lexus lost against US EPA on 03/07/2003. The case requires Toyota to extend the Emission warranty from 2/24k to 14yrs/150k on 1996-1998 vehicles. Customer Service called the dealership and the dealership had to do it for free.... link: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread...15&pagenumber=2 just trying to be helpful. I never knew of this in the emissions warranty. Did anyone here? steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedRacer959 Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 That is awesome news. I haven't had any problems with my lexus yet, but if I do I'll be sure to use that. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNJack Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I just went through this today. Unfortunately, I did not find your post until after I went through a bit of hassle with the dealer. Fortunately I did learn about the enhanced warranty because my dealer sure as heck wasn't going to tell me!... so I will bring your old old post up to the top! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
