  1. OH MAN, MY ENGINE LIGHT AND VSC JUST CAME BACK ON AGAIN....
  2. I was on the phone with the saler for 1 hr....I didn't buy that one......thankss
  3. So my dealer replaced this air fuel sensor bank1.......NOTE: my temp thermometer was below the nornal line, and today after they replaced this bad sensor, the temp meter is in normal line ???? i'm so confused. I had noticed this issue since the engine light was on....any ideas....thanks all....
  4. Im thinking to replace that MAF sensor, I just used all the can to clean that thing, and clear ed the code but got the same result..
  5. IS anybody here cunrrently using stoprepairsbills rightnow? any con/pro ? thanks all
  6. thanks, this link is really hepful...
  7. Thanks all.. I just came back from Autozone, and this time the code is P1135 "Manufacturing Control Fuel Air Meter". He recommended me to use this $8 MAF cleaner spray to clean the MAF sensor on the top of the air filter box. There is a small box on the top of the air filter box, with 2 screws very easy to open. And drive for 2 days and come back to clear that code and if that code comes back again with the same error, then he told me I need to replace that small box, this will solve that enging light....I hope he is right. I haven't replaced the original Lexus air filter, just cleaned the MAF sensor, any advice?? thanks
  8. I got both Engine+VSC light at the same time. I also notice that the temp meter is not stay at the middle, only reaches the 2nd point. I checked with autozone, they said 02 sensor bank 1? Last week, I changed the air filter, and yet I checked the hose behind the air box, I guess this engine light could be caused by using wrong size or cheap air filter? I bought it at autozone? There is no other possible reason that this light comes one. I sually got it change at the dealer, but not this time. SO I will go to lexus dealer and purchase 1 from them, and wait another week to see if this light will go away??? any advice ??? thanks allll
  9. So they replaced the rear height sensor and adjuster arm frozen. They showed me that unit, the height sensor box is connected to the adjuster arm, this whole thing is about your palm size. Well I think they could just replace that adjuster arm only. costs me $480 + labor. :(
  10. thanks, ok I will let them replace my height sensor from now, and i will ask them about it.
  11. So you mean the dealer is lying? that what they told me I need to replace hight sensor for my 2001 Rx300. My brother LX470 has ride hieght adjustment, but not my 01 rx300... Im sure that the main source for this creaking sound must be from struts or rusted bushing. I dont think this sensor thing has to do with the creacking sound...Man im so worried that they are playing game with me..any help???? thanks allll
  12. Yes, hard to beat the combination of 'luxury feel' and price, and I hope the fundamental issues of engine seal/transmission etc.. have finally been resolved. I had tried the EX35 - a little too flashy for me, but mainly a little too small inside. Real fun to drive though, and they were giving $8K off the unsold 2008 'Journey' model. I would have gone for it... then Lexus came with the $10K off... My partners' father had a Ford 500 (AWD?) with the CVT - didn't mind the transmission (but he used to work for Ford, so he is biased in their favor)... Of all of them, though, the old RX is most 'real'. Yes, it's slow; yes, it can't get out its way on turns; yes, many things, but it was (is) a great concept and I still enjoy it. It's too bad it had the design flaws it had. After 6 weeks with the new RX350, I think - at the price - that it is very good value. Lexus is still continuing their 'support' 'til 3/31; no-one seems to know if they will extend it thereafter. It's got to be cannibalizing the new 2010 sales though, and several dealers are now 'out' of the 2009s. Good luck on your decision - let me know what you do! what HID headlights ? Im talking about height sensor problem?
  13. Im little bit confused in here...SO for my case, should I let them replace that height sensor?? thanks alll
  14. Though I cannot state that I know this: I would doubt that the height sensor on the rear suspension for the HID lights woudl 'creak' so loudly. I has a 'creaking' of the rear struts on my RX300 and also a creak from a torsion bar in the front of a (long gone) MB190 2.6. In both case a little lubricant spray solved the problem. The MB required several applications... Maybe you could re-check what Lexus says it is... and... to be frank.... they usually know what they are talking about..... Hi. So how did you spray it? what kind ? thankss
  15. So in order for them to make normal level they must replace that height sensor, and they cannot level it manually? like without the sensor, I think that this bloodsucker dealer just want my money and maybe they will spray something on the strut and that is or after repalce this sensor then my struts go bad and make me pay another $1000.....thanks alll
  16. 01 Rx300 Lately I noticed that there is a creaking noise from the rear, this creaking noise gets louder if I hit a bump or drive up hill. I checked my tool box and so on. My first thought would be bad struts. So I stopped by the Lexus dealer and they told me that there is a bad rear height sensor, this rises the rear suspension little bit higher. It cost $350 for the parts and $100 labor. So is this true that there is a sensor for it?? Im affraid theyre just going spray something and then I have to replace my rear struts or something? Please let me know if you have any infornation? thanks all
