  1. My block heater is to the left of my filter if looking at it. So the non option plate is their instead.
  2. If the lexus dealer sold the car to you then you have no problem, if another dealer did tehn go to a lawyer with your contract as well as contacting your dmv. You should have checked the car out before buying it at a lexus dealer to leave the liability on someone else.
  3. I didn;t think they changed the rotors ,maybe the book only went up to 02 and tehy need an updated one.
  4. It is less than an hours work to replace Your cat is seperate from the y-pipe so it should be cheaper. I payed about $250 for an OEM lexus peice a few years ago when i replaced mine. Before replacing it see if you need a new dogbone mount first ,this will keep you from buying another y-pipe faster than needed. It should only be $50-80 for labour. Let me know if you need a shop and what area you are in Toronto.
  5. First what is the problem with the brakes. you said what side is good but not what is wrong? Second the shop must have used a blunt force like a hammer on a sensative area( which is the hub) around the sensor to remove the bearing bolt or push it out of the hub bearings.
  6. it can, but you should have kept posting in the last thread to continue the work done and tried for a better answer.
  7. because the large majority of the consumers out there take things for granted, are misinfomred or just do not know. My father used to teach a course in highschool. He called it "Automotive Survival" It was a course geared for the average teenager to help them understand the basics of how the car operates and the basics the owner needs to do to keep it operating efficiently. Almost every kid wanted to take it. I personally think anyone (teenagaer or not) that buys a car should take a course like that. steviej Funny enough i used to teach my highschool class for my teacher. but along the same lines as you mentioned but totally offtopic. I belive everyone who has Kids should go to school on having them First as a law before they get their new toy. Too many parents have no clue what they are getting themselves into ,kind of like cars but way more repocutions.
  8. check my thread in the buy and sell section with prices for new parts plated
  9. Has your vehicle EVER been in an accident? If it has at any point in time and not repaired by lexus then you may have to eat it.
  10. Batteries get warm when charged, it is normal. Maintance free are not really that.they just go ad with no maintance you can do for free. Get a yellow top sam's club has them for 183 which is dirt cheap. Their is a new one opening in Cambridge shortly. Let me know i have a merbership if needed.
  11. Post the details and we ca add it to the workshop tutorials to your credit.
  12. if you look at the abs sensor you will have no clue if it is bad or not it is not a user servicable part
  13. Wow a warr engine in a 10 year old car, now that is nice. It usually looks like cap under the filler cap as it is a splash sheild built intot hte head so you can add oil while the engine is running . So it collects thin layers of oil their and bakes it one as it isn;t in the flow of oil to be washed or cleaned. I know of one moron who was under the stupist assumption that toyota put it their as a specially coating and it was not to be removed. Some people really smoke good stuff.
  14. sounds like the contacts are dirty and you cleaned them slightly by replacing the bulbs
  15. MB he was talking about his A/C not engine being hot .
  16. How the hell did you get an RX coach edition in Canada? It also comes with a set of luggage diferent rims ,mats and plaques.
  17. check the general maintance section for a self diag test
  18. I deal with wholsalers as i am in the auto BIZ but walmart rivals most shops by far.
  19. get it in the air and clean the screen and replace the fluid then idle it for a bit to cuiculate and hopefully clear the clot
  20. get it in the air and clean the screen and replace the fluid then idle it for a bit to cuiculate and hopefully clear the clot
