It seems every damn time a mechanic works on my vehicle, they end up with extra screws and bolts left off their dismantle efforts to find fresh work! I am unfamiliar with this lower right attachment under the kick plate cover. Please advise as I think yet anotger bolt missing. Photo is upside...

Thanks! Re the pump, and high pressure line, did you replace these too?

On my 2007 100 at 235k miles its apparent the seals inside the rack have given way. Tried some tricks like ATP to at least arrest it. No luck. My request for input please. It appears fluid never changed. I even overlooked it my past three years, as well as dealership passes. A clear oversight on...

I have a lot of opinions re this. I tossed both 2nd and 3rd row seats, belts, harware,carpet added an after market drawer system. Discovered i needed to replace 2nd row so Hasan in Covina, CA sold me one for $300 installed with hardware. Works with drawer system. Roof rack upgrade is ready for...

Decided the battleship gray original paint on the shifter plate between front seats needs a refresh. Went mat black and with a mat clear coat. Multiple layers and a week drying time. Dealer for those piss ant replacement light bulbs to switches and Drive shift. Clueless why Emergency Flasher...

Today read about this on a FB Toyota Lexus page. Is there a heater diverter valve and if yes, a point of failure? Besides the infamous T's, its a mystery unable to sort online.

Hi, sorry I tossed the dealer purchased plastic bags that had the hose, valve and two top foam cap fittings. About $60. On my 2007 its front and center above engine air intake where we spray the value intake. The pvc is I think 21mm and on the drivers side down near ignition coils. Appeared...

Thanks. I read that brief on the purpose and what a diverter does. Its not up my alley here in Calif to bypass. Federal laws apply but smog shops are hip to modifications. I wonder why a new airpump system is so expensive to install?

Yes but nothing describes if bypass added. As for its purpose its a bit hazy.

what is the reason for this air pump, why does it fail, and what happens to vehicle if bypassed?

No clue yet what "full removal" means.

My 2007 LC100 has one then. Thankfully its quiet at the moment.

I have seen this installed in LX470 to bypass the secondary air injection mechanism. Does the 100 also have a Secondary Air Injection system?

Put it all back finally. Matt finish to minimize glare. Replaced the little lights in switches too.
