My 2011 has been doing the same since I bought it 6 years ago after sitting for a while especially when cold. I assumed and read it's normal.

Here is how I got to the top bolt with line out of the way. The extension was good 2ft with universal at the end.

Just to add another datapoint. My starter acted up at around 144k miles (click no start). Fixed with a light tap, but put on the list to replace. My AHC pump also failed and I had car at a dealership for a quick diagnostic, which was a total waste of time money. They quoted $750 to replace the...

Update here: New pump is in and issue is fixed. The pump that came from Japan had all the wiring and even clips so install was a breeze. The most annoying part was filling it as you can't fill it quickly. The pump didn't include the fill and breather hoses, I ordered those separately from a...

that guys is like the name suggests...a bit nuts. I just watched his video on LC vs LX570. He missed a few things and overhypes others.

I would do brake flush and focus on anything getting signs of rust.

I bought mine LX570 exclusively for towing. I tow open trailer with a race car...about 4000lbs plus bunch of tools in the trunk. It's been great for 6 years and 70k miles. AHC is great for loading the car and for changing angle of the ramps of trailer to load the racecar. Comfort is another...

Mobil1 red grease for prop-shaft here. I never touched the bolts either. Mine are probably seized anyways.

From what I read it's a sensor issue. Comes and goes on my 2011 LX with 145k miles. It started doing that around 120k miles. Mine comes on when car is cold. After driving, once I restart it goes away.

By bet is on Idler pulley. A bit early for that. I replaced mine per-emtively at 112k miles along with the belt. On my benz, I had pulley making noise for a bit at around 100k miles/11 years , then it seized and shredded the belt, so these are good to replace.

I know we have 39 page AHC basics but I haven't seen too many threads on AHC failures so figure I will consolidate my issues here since looks like my system is pretty beat up. In 2016, I made a mistake of buying a fairly rusty LX570 in Northern NJ. It was 2011 LX570 with 68k miles and has been...

I don't believe there is level sensor as I don't see error for low level in the WSM, however, I would think another error like the c1763 -abnormal pressure would get tripped as pump would be unable to build pressure. AHC fluid flush is not bad at all there was a good write up on how do it.

Check prior invoice and all 3 of those lines were replaced in 2017. Back then I had a significant leak while I was driving. Will be investigating this on Fri myself as the dealer just wants to throw bunch of expensive parts on.
