Dear Lexus Friends,
I bought my Lexus ES300 new in 2000 and I have 175,500 miles on it.
It's been trouble free, except now I hear a clicking, chugging noise coming from what I thought was the timing belt.
I had a mechanic open the timing belt cover and we saw the timing belt looked good.
He then said it might be the seal or the bearings of the camshaft that might need replacing.
Can anyone lend any advice?
At the very least it's not the timing belt so I should be able to drive another 10,000 miles. Or am I wrong?
Many thanks again to all!
