    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    Local Lexus dealer in Houston. That’s the list price. You may be confusing this pump+accumulator+wire assembly for the larger assembly that includes the master cylinder, reservoir, etc.

    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    Good info, 2001LC. Definitely no noise right now. I had the hood open and the driver’s window down. On the topic of noise though... As long as I have owned this vehicle, I’ve always heard a low level humming/mechanical type noise whenever the engine is off and the key is on. Never stopped on...

    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    Just checked. No sound from booster pump. Not sure exactly what it’s supposed to sound like, but didn’t hear anything of note after turning the key to ON.

    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    2001LC- 1. You are welcome to my old parts when they come off. 2. The brake fluid has not been overfilled on my watch. I’m familiar with the filling procedure. Current fluid level is about 3/4 full if the Min line = empty and Max line = full. Pressing the pedal 40 times results in no change in...

    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    Add me to the brake failure list. 2001 LX470. 238k miles. 83k of them by me. Doubt this rig has ever left the pavement. Spent most of its life in Dallas/Houston. Drove 325 miles round trip (Houston to Austin) on Saturday. No issues. The next morning as I’m backing out of my driveway: solid...

    New starter, or replace the contacts inside. I went new.

    POLL - Is your 100 your daily driver?

    I daily drive my 2001 LX. Purchased several years ago at 155k. Now 233k and counting. MPG sucks, but she’s almost fully depreciated, which is nice.

    2001 lx470 wheels

    I was able to use the Tundra center caps by hammering the dust caps flat plus a little bit of grinding on the back of the center cap. Front wheels only. The center caps went right on the rears with no mods.

    2001 lx470 wheels

    My Tundra wheels were brand new takeoffs. Got them for only a shade more than a set of the tires would have cost on their own. I popped the Toyoya logo off the center caps and replaced with a free set of Lexus emblems from my local dealer.

    2001 lx470 wheels

    Not aftermarket, but I’m very happy with my 18” Tundra takeoffs. Major improvement vs the origina OEM chromes that came with my 2001 LX.

    Check Engine Lighte/EVAP Problems

    My CEL came on with P0441 code from time to time for a while. Disappeared on its own. Hasn't come back for many months.

    Fuel quality vs fuel economy

    Not exactly. Marathon owns the ONLY refinery in Michigan. Most of the fuel used in Michigan, regardless of brand, comes from this refinery. So yes, Marathon stations in Michigan are in fact selling Marathon refined fuel, but it's more of a geographical coincidence than some special marathon...

    Fuel quality vs fuel economy

    While we are talking about mileage though, there are things besides the obvious (driving style, speed, traffic, etc.) that can affect your MPG from tank to tank. Summer vs winter fuel standards set by various regulatory bodies. Air conditioner usage. More AC = less MPG. Fuel temperature -...

    Fuel quality vs fuel economy

    Right and wrong. You won’t notice the difference between regular and premium fuel, but your vehicle absolutely will. Your mileage will be affected. Separate topic though. OP is talking about differences from station to station, not differences in fuel grade.

    Fuel quality vs fuel economy

    Gasoline is gasoline. It’s a commodity pure and simple. It’s highly likely that every single gas station in your neighborhood, or every your city/county/region gets its gas from the exact same distribution hub (AKA “The Rack”). The fuel comes to the rack via pipeline directly from a refinery...

    RTH - Intermmitent no crank

    I’ve had no start due to both the starter and lose battery cable in my 100. With the battery cable, all dash lights and even the dash itself (headlights too IIRC) went dark as soon as I turned the key. When my starter was dying, all dash lights stayed lit. OP says all,his dash lights are on.

    RTH - Intermmitent no crank

    My starter did this for months before I got around to replacing it. Never got stranded. I can see how it would be unnerving in a remote area with family onboard though.

    Late Model 100 Series Annual Spend?

    Bought my 2001 LX about four years ago at 158k miles. Now at 228k. Recently added up my receipts and they totaled about $10,000. Rough estimate says I’ve also run through about $13,000 of fuel: 70,000 / 15 mpg x $2.75/gallon.
