My dealer recommended I do a fuel injection cleaning for $170. He also recommended a A/C flush $229. Sounds like he's trying to take this lady for a ride. Most mechanics do so I am always worried if I really need these things or they are trying to make some extra money. I have a 2007 RX400h withb 35,000 miles. Anybody out there that can tell me the real deal? Thanks!

I use a store bought injector additive twice a year...thats all you will ever need...buy a good brand name one should be $5-$10 max

On the heater topic. I picked up my RX 400 new in October and our weather went to -30+ in November and stayed there until today. My vehicle heater works fine even better than my 2005 Highlander. I leave the RX outside and not plugged in some nights and it starts right up and is warm within 5 minutes. As a bonus the seat heaters get so hot on max you need to turn them down. In short there is plenty of heat in any weather in this vehicle, but the engine runs steady until the car warms up.

Hi Guys (and Ladies)

New here to the RX and Hybrids in general. Just to give you a quick background, I do not own one at this moment, but seriously considering buying the 2010 RX Hybrid when it comes out.

One of the concerns I have is how effective is the Hybrid in Cold Weather. For example, the heater core. How quickly (compared to a non hybrid) does it take for the heater to work and how effective is it? Also, are there any special restrictions one needs to look out for over a gasoline powered car?

I'm asking because during the winter, I spend a lot of time skiing in the mountains where it can get close 0 F and the car stays exposed. And of course, after a long day out, the last thing I want is to be in a cold car for the duration it takes to get back to the lodge or any other trips I may make.

Thanks

Make sure you are using MP3. I burn mine through ITunes and they work just fine on my Rx400

Any one figured out what those strange sound are that come from the RX400 about 5 minutes after you turn it off.

Has anyone noticed that the front seats on the 2008 are a different size. Drivers side larger than passanger. Or am I imagining this.

Also where is my aux jack for Ipod...every other Lexus has one and the brochure says there is one???
