  1. 32 years old, your mechanic is spot on. New belt, water pump and tensioner. You can buy the complete kit, OEM Aisin parts, from Rock Auto for a good price. Your mechanic will charge you about 8 hours for the job. Plugs should be fine, but i would do coolant, oil, filter and brake flush just becuase of the age, unless you know when they were last done. A few treatments with in tank injector cleaners and a then new fuel filter would also be a good idea.

  2. Thanks Les Lex for your input, When I failed to find any blown fuses, I reported back to third party refurbished hybrid battery installer. They were at a loss and weren't interested in sending their tech back to resolve the issue. They said "go to the dealership" we will stand behind our work. The dealership confirmed (after a $180 diagnostic fee) there is power to the radio and no ground issues. It is indeed dead. Quote from dealer, $2910.00 for a new radio + lcd screen. No refurbished unit in their back stock. So this company is on the hook for $3090.00, if they honor their service. I'm not going to expect them to pay for a brand new radio to replace a ten year old one but I do expect to be reimbursed for the dealer diagnosis fee, the cost of a used unit and installation fee. Jury is still out as I fight that battle. Just a tip for those replacing a broken radio, there is a number below the volume control to left, for me its a 6 digits. This should match replacement unit or risk non compatibility issues.

  3. We have a 2022 NX350h and from day 1 we've had carplay problems. It pairs about half the time, and reading or sending messages using siri we get a garbled message 'it says, it says it says' over and over again. Can't send or read messages using siri. We've been taking it in to the dealership, first to their IT department, now to the service department. No resolution and we've had the car almost 2 years. Its beyond frustrating. Wish I'd never traded my car to get this new improved one!

  5. I recently purchase a GX 2019 with 36k miles on it, I also use costco fuel, is working out ok. I’m averaging 17.8 per gallon suburban City driving. Always on eco mode and shifting to S mode if high rise bridge or road.

  6. The key is in the owner's manual wording. Is 91 octane fuel recommended or required? If it is required, you should not use anything else. If a safeguard like a knock sensor malfunctions, the result could be engine damage. Costco has good fuel prices for premium. That's what I use in two of my cars that require that grade.
