downunda Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi, I am a little desperate. I am attaching some images, hoping someone will be able tell me what these parts are and how I can fix it. I have away traveling and did not realize that mice have gotten under the hood and bitten away some think tubing and some plastic parts too! I can take it to the dealer but I want to know what is it that I need to replace, whether I can drive with it (seems so) and if I can fix it myself. Where the thin tube connects to the round cap part, part of it is chewed off ! One of the tubes goes down under somewhere. Is this something a mechanic can fix easily? Any estimates?

gbhrps Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 downunda, The car should be driveable as is. I suspect that there has been little damage to the intake system. Get the car to a mechanic to ckeck out what needs replacing, hoses and whatever plastic pieces you're concerned about. Should you need new plastic sections for the intake, go to a wrecking yard for the parts, as new from Lexus will break the bank. Good Luck!

downunda Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thank you, that was what I was thinking. It seems the car needs to be hoisted to replace one of the tubes. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
