So I had the local shop take it for further inspection, they came back and said Idler pulley is worn. $400 to replace 2 of them. He did say that it is not that bad but might be the cause. He was not sure if that is causing the noise. I still got the work done. Took the risk and after a 30 min...
Hi All,
Been a minute.
Everything has been pretty good for my LX last few years, did the routine maintenance on my daily driver and it kept running and being super reliable up until last week.
I was on road trip (Just 1500 Miles), It was great, no issues. On the way back, 100 Miles away from...
I have been removing the battery and removing the code that way but the light comes back every 400 miles or so. I have been doing this since last year, earlier this year the light didnt come at all when it was very cold here. It would come onces every 2-3 months and i would unplug the battery...
Vehicle is 2004 LX470 with 260,000 KM which is like 150,000 MIles i think.
Vehicle was fine and then got this check engine light with all VSC traction disabled. Got it checked out (Autozone) and got the P0430 Code, Catalyst system efficiency below threshold (Bank 2).
I have a 2000 km drive...
Yep I have a garage, I just figured leaving it outside on the drive way would speed up the process maybe because of the heat? I will look into getting a dehumidifier and some of the damp rid. Thanks
Some pics for reference. When the speedo/dash started up again it wasn’t the same. Lights would fade in and out and rpms up and down. Same with battery and speed wouldn’t work.
So a few hours ago I went into the car wash and didn’t notice that my sun roof was open. Just about half an inch. I drive slow and there was no wind up here in North Dakota today so I didn’t even hear the air, sometimes you can tell just with the air noise of the sun roof is open or not.
My 2...
Hey
my 2004 lx470 with 250,000km recently had a oil change from Toyota. I asked for conventional oil. Sticker Toyota left on windshield says 5W30reg, that was 3 days ago. Today I’m in the middle of a 1000 mile drive and on cruise control I noticed my pressure gauge would read lower then normal...
I’m thinking about switching my suspension fully to old man emu with 2” lift.
my current ride on my 2004 lx470 is very rugged. The AHC works but the ride over bumps is annoying me. I’m told I need new accumulators but also read they go bad sometimes less then a year later. I don’t care for auto...
I have a 2004 Lexus LX470 with 160,000 miles. AHC started acting up about a year ago. Over the slightest bump and I mean very minor bump the whole rig vibrates as if I went over a 4ft rock. It’s embarrassing having people in it. I live in northern USA, minot ND. Roads here are bad. So every 3...
Im having issues starting my 2004 lx470, I think I need a new battery, at least im hoping for that. Can anyone recommend a battery for me? I live in North Dakota and it gets pretty cold up here. Also there is no lexus close by for me to go to and simply purchase a lexus battery. There is a...
Hello again, Ive moved to a small town in North Dakota called Minot. Im looking for a mechanic if anyone has any recommendations. So far I have been taking my 2004 lx470 to Toyota dealer but would like to avoid the dealer costs.
My AHC is acting up i think, the ride is great but as soon as i go...
Hey
So I know there’s a bunch of post about audio upgrades but I’m to lazy to read over all of them. I swear I’ve been working lots (oil/gas) so I don’t get time.
Hoping you guys can help me.
Few months ago in Canada I changed my front two speakers because the factory speakers were blown...
Hey Thanks.
Yes I was on level ground and also noticed I was just above max level at neutral. My guess is Im at 8 graduations. I will check out the link you gave.
So i did the test. I took pics because it was hard to tell. When I lowered the fluid went up but I couldn’t tell exactly how far. Can someone look at the pics and advise.
