  1. Did you find out why it discharged in the first place? You almost certainly have a leak in the system. I know it's not what you want to hear, but you'll need to take it to a reputable shop to have it checked out- otherwise you'll be adding 134a every few days!
  2. Opinion: Cool as hell. My 03 Black Onyx all leather SportX is the best car I have ever owned. The official Brochure: http://www.lexus.ca/lexus/ebrochures/en/ED192P2004.pdf And Edmunds: http://www.edmunds.com/apps/vdpcontainers/...87/article.html Enjoy. And, Google is a wonderous tool, Try it out sometime! :)
  3. After just doing a bunch of exhaustive research myself on this same subject- i finally settled on the BFG SuperSport A/S and couldn't be happier. Smooth, super quiet ride- and responsive as hell with spirited driving. I live in Florida, and the rainstorms here can be intense in the summertime. These tires cut through rainy and slick roads like no other tire I have ever owned..I tried a few days ago to get the tires to break loose a bit turning in really hard during a rain, and couldn't get the damn things to break loose! Just over 700 for the staggered set (225 rear, 215 front) The tread design is VERY good looking on the car and even my wife complimented the look. The treadwear rating on the tire is 400, but it grips like it's a lot lower. VERY satisfied after 2500 miles- still quiet and smooth. Make sure you get an alignment RIGHT AFTER you get your new shoes. I chose Lexus dealer because they know EXACTLY what the car requires and solved my front-inside-balding-first problem common with this car. The tires and ride is so smooth it's seriously like hovering. Official Site: http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/overview/g-...t-a-s/3906.html and the tire rack rating- http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...per+Sport+A%2FS This rating was slightly lower than i personally would rate them, of course the 6.0 for snow traction skewed the average. Not a concern for me though since it only snows in Florida in disaster movies! :D
  4. Nice reply, smooth. You're the reason why these forums are so effective! :D
  5. I had the same problem.. You can find a spare fuse, along with a puller for the fuse, in the engine compartment in the main fuse box cover...unless someone's already taken the spare out. If memory serves, it's a 15- correct?
  6. I live in Orlando! Where is this meetup you speak of? Sc400, Owner tested, Jack Russell Approved!
  7. Is the air mix servomotor the vacuum controlled servo right behind the ABS system? Where do you recommend i start troubleshooting? Also, pics would be helpful, as I have no real service manual.. Thanks!!
  8. Like the guys said, very common once the system is sealed back up to overlook the backflush. Suprised they missed that though- I'd think about switching mechanics if this turns out to be the issue..
  9. Good morning, everyone! I was wondering if anyone knew some troubleshooting steps for this error code- I did some searching and found info on the vacuum servo on the firewall behind the ABS system- but I'm not sure that this is where I need to begin looking.. Anyone have any more specific info on this error? Where do I begin?
  10. My wife went through the autowash with the radio on. Needless to say, the antenna is completely lost, including the retractor inside.....all gone. Any good suggestions for replacement?
  11. Cool, thanks man! Looks like the pressure is right then!
  12. Where can one get just the bushings replaced?
  13. Anyone know the correct recharge pressure when adding 134a? Right now, I have 35 psi on the guage (middle blue range), but I seem to recall another thread where they mentioned 40 psi.. Thanks everyone!
