maintenance

The dreaded "P0325" code popped up yesterday while I was running errands in my 2004 LX470. After running the code, it came back knock sensor 1 is bad. -The good. I have 30 days off work to do this job. - The bad. I really don't want to do this job. For those of you that don't know, knock...

This was a semi planned impulse purchase. I've wanted an earlier 200 series for a while, but the time was never right for us. We picked this truck up recently when our Jetta TDI died on the freeway. I've been daily driving a very tired 60 series for the last few years. You can find that ordeal...

Hello! I just purchased a one-owner 2011 LC. 92,000 miles. We have had a Honda Accord ('08) that has been extremely reliable for us (we just moved out of DC). We're about to have our second child, so this popped up and was a good deal, and gives us needed space. Bought from a dealership...

How do you clean/replace this filter? It seems to be riveted on?

I'm located in Jackson, MS. Looking for a 06-07 Land Cruiser that is not rusted and maintenance up to date. Willing to travel!

I just bought a 2008 GX470 and I'm looking for recommendations on what exactly to do in terms of preventative maintenance right away. I know about all the fluids and filters, but curious about the "heater Ts" from the 100 series and if this has the same issues as well as anything else specific...

Do we have a list of bolts that need re-tightening over time that may not be touched during routine maintenance? I’ve heard of people snugging up the valve gaskets bolts and checking the caliper bolts. Are there any other major ones out there?

Hi all, I am just about to hit 195k in my 2011 LX570 and want to prepare for 200k and start gathering parts. I bought the truck last year in March with 160k miles. I drive it daily to work and trips Since then I have done the following between 160k-170k - New Radiator, WP, hoses, pulleys...

How often are you guys changing this out. I know it's a maintenance item but do you do it at 30k or what. I need to change the heater tees also. I guess do them both at the same time. and same intervals? Thanks,

I took my LC on a long trip and while at idle for long periods of time (2 hours), the RPM's started getting a little rough. No lights, never stalled or ever close...but from a consistent 7-800RPM's at idle with AC, it would occasionally drop to 4-500 and jump right back up. It wasn't "rough"...

Been 6 months since I bought this 2003 lx 470 with 300k and made the mistake of taking it in for service at Lexus for the tune of $$$ embarrassed to say how much. Well the one thing they didn’t do was the tees and hoses. My guess was they were original. Bought the kit and special tool for the...

I am a OEM guy through and through when working on my 100. Everything I've replaced/maintenance has been Toyota OEM. But damn, this aftermarket radiator cost less than my cost(I get discounts) OEM, and OEM is plastic. It started seeping on top. Anyone else go this route. This thing is quality!

I'm in need of experienced opinions. Looking at a 2015 Land Cruiser with 188k miles on the clock. All service done at Toyota dealer with all records available on Toyota Owners website - all maintenance up to date. Owner commuted regularly 500 miles for work. No rust, no leaks, and the interior...

I thought this was possible but when I log in and enter a VIN of a vehicle I don't currently own, it is not giving me the vehicle's maintenance history. Isn't this possible? I'm looking at a new to me 200 that is at a none Toyota dealership and was a trade. The seller has provided the...

I will have 75K miles on the truck come this fall, it will also be three years old as well. I am planning to do front and rear brakes at that time, both rotors and pads along with another 5K mile oil change. What else would you guys suggest replacing or at least inspecting at that time?

Okay, I've been digging through all the info I can find and I can't come up with a good answer on the 200 series best practice. In short, should I preemptily swap coil packs at around 100k when I do plugs, or should I sit on it until they throw codes and replace them as they fail? I had a...

Hello, I’m brand new to this forum and forums in general. I have a 2012 GX 460 and I’ve had a clunk for a while now. Developed pretty fast after I first got it in early 2021. It definitely is coming from the driver side front KDSS ram. I can have someone rock the car while I’m under there. I am...

Hello everyone, Looking to get into my first LC in the next 30-90 days (depending on if/when I can find the "one"), and I've searched this forum for annual maintenance costs, and I haven't quite been aggregated enough info on what operating one for about 5000-10000 miles annually. I have other...
