  1. After using the wiper blades on my RX300, i really like it and was wondering if the inserts/refills they sell at the part's counter can be used on other car? Would it be ok to just buy it and cut to the right length or they're different depending on the brand of the car. I want to put this on my honda. Thanks.
  2. Last year i took my old 03 rx300 in to have them balance and do a rotation (i think?) and when they were done my steering wheel was unbalanced too. Then as i began to drive i couldn't steer! I was turning the wheel but the car didn't move. Then it was working again....it was VERY scary but they fixed it! that's so dangerous... no matter what i'm taking it back tomorrow(for the past week, my car has been there for 4 days now...) the alignment was pretty straight for 4 yrs and suddenly this...
  3. So i got the car back today... tested one of their 2002 and it has the noise too...while mine is quieter i guess... then i find out while they replaced the spiral cable, they didn't put hte steering wheel back properly......now i gotta put my wheel at 1 o'clock to drive straight...GREAT!
  4. I told the tech to do it. I don't get the groaning sound, but clicking noise from turn wheel slightly in either direction at any point. They said they tested some of the used RX and it kinda produce the same sound, but I personally never had this problem for 4 yrs, and all of a sudden this...
  5. I also have this problem on my 01 RX Dealer already changed the spiral cable, but the clicking noise is still there. I dunno what else to do now...
  6. it happened on my RX300 too and dealer fixed it...
  7. I've been wondering what kind of oil Lexus uses? dino?? Last time they charged me $100 Cdn just to do an oil change...that's expensive! My car has about 15000miles right now and it's a 01. Can I change the trans oil in like 20k miles or 25ish?
  8. Hello, I've searched around already and can't quite get the answer. Got a 2001 RX300, no HID :( Left side's low beam is higher than right side(opposite of factory settings) Never been in accident or anything, so i assume it just went out of aim throughout the years. I only see one screw on top of the high beam housing and no other screws. It does not give suggestion of which direction actually lowers the beam and also whether or not it's only for high beam. Can somebody help me plz. Thank you!
  9. omg... i just got this problem too... When it goes up, it makes groaning sound.....and it's as if it doesn't want to go up. When it goes down....it makes screeching sound...the antenna isn't straight for sure since I tried to turn it a little and feel the mash inside(correct?)... still in warranty, will they take care of this problem? for the past 3 months, i've brought my car in for like 4-5 problems.....
  10. Hello everybody... My dad just took the car for the repair(finally they have the parts) and I especially asked the advisor to print me the TSB. This fix applies to 2001-2003 RX300 and was released on March 11, 2005(quite new...almost the same time as the RX330 fix). TSB2095: Engine Mechanical Title: Fuel Injector Ticking Noise Introduction: Some cusomters with 2001-2003 model year RX300 vehicles may complain of a "ticking" noise from the engine compartment when the engine is idling. Updated fuel main tube and fuel tube clamp are now available. In addition to updated parts, a second fuel pressure pulsation damper assmebly has been added to imporve this condition. Hope this helps those that are having the "ticking" noise problem. I will be driving the car soon to verify that it did fix the problem.
  11. i thought almost all auto have OD... is that the reason why it turns at 3k rpm when going at like 120km? it could just be the gear ratio...
  12. If RX is front wheel biased....y is it still using so much gas...especially for the RX300...cuz of its weight? How much more does it weight over a ES300 or camry? Just say it goes like 100/0 or 95/5, it wouldn't have as bad fuel economy as a car that's like 50/50.
  13. Still waiting for phone call...and then i gotta set up an appointment cuz i'm not free everyday to bring the car in. Might take a week or 2... Sorry...I was referring to the service when they checked on the noise, that's when the screw went missing.
  14. I have this nasty rattle after going to the dealership. I cleared up everything in the car and went on a test drive to find the noise. At first i thought it was the glovebox that was rattling. Instead, it's the 2 piece plastic that goes from the shifter down to the front passenger footwell. Looks like there's a missing screw, so now the whole plastic is flapping(no wonder i hear rattle when i make a left). I would assume that the screw can't just fall out like that, so why would they need to take that plastic out and forgot to put the screw back? Now they got a third thing to do for me now.
