Much better than I'm getting, and that's with the extra gear and VVTI in my 2006. I think at around 70-80 I was averaging around 14.5, corrected for bigger tires. At least it's been consistently bad throughout the 110k miles I've had it.
No questions, but I wanted to share some observations after having replaced the original ignition coils on my 2006 LC (which had no faults) at 180k miles.
Some quick background - I changed the original plugs about 3 years ago at 160k miles. The original plugs looked surprisingly good, but...
Hi guys, my wife took her LX to war with a trash can and damaged the RH mirror. The glass is broken and the “cap” that fits to the back (front of car side) of the mirror is lost.
The glass is apparently $250 and Lexus doesn’t sell the cap separately for the 2014. A new assembly is around $950...
Hi guys, I bought a TJM T-13 for my 100 series last year and never got around to installing it. I may be getting ready to buy a 200 later this year, so with that being the case, this is now for sale.
It is extremely well packaged to the point that I spent about 15 minutes taking the plastic...
Would I be able to pull an error code using a simple scanner? The actual CEL isn't lit - just the TRAC light and the AFS light. Also, in thinking some more about it being a wheel speed sensor, there isn't an ABS light lit, so maybe not that?
Hi all, my wife was involved in a collision a couple of days ago in her 2014 LX. It took a pretty good hit to the right front with the headlight being damaged and the alignment getting knocked off a few degrees (wheel points straight at about 11:55 instead of 12). There is what appears to be...
Hi all, I have no doubt this has been covered before, but I'm having difficult finding the thread - how do I remove the trim surrounding the nav unit in my 2006 LC? I have a bluetooth unit I'm itching to install, but kind of stumped on what I'm sure is the easy first step.
I found plenty of...
Well quick but embarrassing update:
I should have mentioned initially that most of the left front suspension (control arms, hub assembly, and steering knuckle) were replaced around 10k miles ago. I double checked the ball joints by rocking the tire and they seemed fine. I went ahead and...
Hi guys, my 06 with 155k miles recently developed a random chirp from the front suspension that almost feels like it’s under the dead pedal. “Chirp” might be the wrong technical term, but it sounds like a very hard piece of rubber being drug across a floor - maybe more like a deep chirp...
Assuming it's only the alternator bearings that are bad, would it otherwise pass a load test similar to what they'd do at Autozone?
Mine is a 2006 LC with around 139,000 on it.
Well, the title says it all. I have a high pitched whine and at idle my voltage will drop. Voltage goes back to 14 at speed, and is fine at a stop if I slip it into neutral and rev to around 2k.
Logic would tell me it's either a bad tensioner, bad pulley, or bad alternator, but I'd love any...
Hey guys, unfortunately the replacement vehicle I was planning to acquire this weekend was sold last night. I wasn't expecting the ad (especially with no photos) to generate so much interest so quickly, and it's really a testament to the value (aside from the wealth of technical information)...
Hi guys, the time has come to pass my truck on to the next owner. I acquired it about 4.5 years ago with 89k miles on it. I promptly changed the timing belt and have enjoyed it ever since. Within the past 10k miles it has had 4 new 02 sensors, 4 new Michelins (from Discount Tire with...
Thanks, guys. Sounds like I may be within normal range. There are very few sections on my commute where I'm ever above 30mph. The "average speed" per the Trip Info in the navigation is usually low 20s for every trip I take. Lots of stop and go and a good amount of idling.
The navigation trip...
I do plan to change the air intake filter when I clean the MAF and throttle body. I am considering the fuel filter, O2 sensors, and plugs as they're all original to the vehicle. Think there will be any pickup in mileage?
The truck seems to be performing fine (no rough idle, CEL, etc.), it's...
The gas mileage in my 2006 100 series has been getting progressively worse over the past couple of years. My commute is relatively short and all in town, but over the past few months I've averaged 10.4 mpg. I can get around 10.6 if I am very mindful of my right foot.
The truck has 130,000...
Guys, thanks for all the replies. I tried the battery from my wife's GX460 and it cranked right up. This was after (1) checking voltage with multimeter, (2) attempting to jump, and (3) putting a charger on it overnight, all with a Duralast Gold battery that's 1.5 years old. Ive never had a bad...
Sorry, bad choice of words. It's definitely not turning the engine over. When I hold the key all the way forward, the starter is consistently clicking while the lights consistently flash on/off.
