  1. Thanks a lot He was not a Lexsus dealer. i have the timing and related stuff changed 3000 miles ago. the mechanic is useless. the same place, i went there that AC was not cooling and hes said i need to replace the Ac condensor which costed me 300 USD (the part) and then when i ask him are you sure there is no other leak in the AC cooling system he says i canot. he rips people money. things are difficut and things happen the hard way for me. i will check the oil level soon. cheers
  2. hi all i was told few weeks back by the dealer that i have VVT leak and engine luimp leak and ihave been driving the car for weeks now. i took to a small mechasnic and he said it is not urgent. is it a serious thing that need to be replaced. what is it and what does it do. i hope some one familar with cars help me many thanks again and again for this forum
  3. hi folks thanks for your support. Here is what happened: 1) the navigation was lost because of the metallic film which cut the RF completely. i managed to restore by making a small (ugly) window just above the dashborad behnd the navigation screen. it is okay now. 2) the check in was not due to the navigation. the dealer checked it and found error P0440 " evaporative emision control malfuncation". i am not it is important to repair but it looks it needs time to be checked. i read few posts on this error and many were saying gas cap leak. Aslo the dealer found leak in the engine called V.V.T leak and engine sump leak. this leak possibly can wait till next service i suppose. thanks all
  4. thanks folks the gas cap looks fine and secure... the car is recent purchase and i had many things changed (battery, fuel pump, air filter, and normal service). the check light on came and on ad i tool it to lexsus dealer for full check of the car and they swtiched off the P0440 chek engine but told me it needs furhter check and time and i was busy. then after a few weeks, i did not drive much, the same check on came again. the lexus dealer on thier report says also their is a V.V.T and engine sump leak and i am not sure if this casuign the check engine light to appear again i am do not know much a bout cars and i am new to lexus.
  5. hi folks i got the engine check (orange light) came on and took it to lexsus dealer fir check up. they told the the folloiwnfg error " P044 Evaporative emission control system malfuncation" does any one know what this mean and is it importasnt to be sorted out. the lexsus guys said he needs time to check the full car and i did not have much time to leave the car with them note, the car is ls430 model 2001 american specicfications bt imported to dubai/sharjah. thanks
  6. thanks Robert Young but do you know why would the "check" sign appeared ont he dashboard. i thought it might be linked with GPS reception or just a coincendce that something else went wrong in the car. cheers
  7. wel, i lost the GPS reception completely and the check message appeared and i dunno if the 2 are linked, or somethig else wen t wrong and just conicendece.
  8. hi again if any one knows the location of the GPS antena receover let me know. even with windows all open and sunroof open the GPS icon on the navigation gone off compltely. the check on button is displayed in the dashborard as well, i am not sure is it diue to the GPS after the metallihc top range tint or some thing else a coindcendece. i drove the car for 2 hours but didnot notice anything else i attached the GPS icon i ws reverinfg to that went off completely many thanks
