KU Jim Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I'm a Lexus newbie drawn by the excellent reliabilty ratings this car gets. Had my 2000 ES300 for a week and the dash starts lighting up. VSC, VSC off , and engine light. Bought it from an independent Used Car Dealer with the usual 30 day , 1000 mile warranty. Took it to a capable independent repair shop with up to date computer diagnostics. Diagostic Codes: PO440, PO441, PO446. From most previous posts, this would point to a leak in the Fuel Evaporation system, usually a leaky Charcoal Canister. He is pinning that down today to find the precise source of the leak. My car has 60,000 miles. Is this covered by the Lexus Emission Warranty? I don't yet have my owners manual or the supplement. It's my guess it is not covered by either the used car warranty or the Lexus warranty and I would probably just need to negotiate a "good will" cost sharing with the used car dealer. What is it likely to cost of this repair in Lawrence Kansas?? Ideas, suggestions?? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
