I posted this on the GX470 board but they suggested I also post it here because of the deeper knowledge base of the 2uzfe motor... Okay, so my mechanic friend was helping me with my 2006 GX470 (190k mi). We agreed that he would do the CV axles and that was fine. I needed the water pump (leaking...

Okay, so my mechanic friend was helping me with my 2006 GX470 (190k mi). We agreed that he would do the CV axles and that was fine. I needed the water pump (leaking a lot) and timing belt (way past due) changed. He suggested that we tear it down to the head gasket and get the heads cleaned up. I...

OK, short story long. I wanted to replace leaking 2uz VVTI cam seals, they were making a mess. I got the parts, watched the video, and thumbed through the FSM. I DID NOT want to replace the water pump and all the goodies because it had already been done 40k ago (documented). And yes I should...

Hey guys, I am curious if anyone has used non vvti manifolds or DT headers on a VVTI engine? The SAIS has already been bypassed, so theoretically they should work fine? Found a set of LT's non vvti and a Y pipe for sale brand new, so trying to determine if theyll work or not..

Greetings, does anybody have a pinout diagram for al uzj100 vvti engine i am swaping it to a 60 series but i cant find a wiring pinout for the dashwiring to the ecu.

As my title says, my engine is total loss (230000 mile vvti 2006). I was driving at the highway doing 50mph when my car started shaking and stuttering. Pulled the car aside and waited for roadside help (Germany). They started it and it sounded horrible so quickly turned off and pulled out the...

Figured I’d post and see if anyone has heard much of what I just ran into w my 06 470. 257k extremely clean well maintained. Was running fine after plug and coil pack replacement for several hundred miles and suddenly stumbled at a stop light and threw cel. Ran it a few miles home and noticed a...

I’m selling my 2007 Lexus LX470 that just hit 200k miles. This vehicle has no issues whatsoever and has never given me any problems throughout the 6 years of owning it. The engine runs flawlessly and is extremely smooth, this thing does not struggle to move and has more than enough power to do...

First post of any substance. I met someone whose 170K 2007 LX470 overheated. Diagnosis revealed the cause to be due to transmission fluid in the antifreeze solution. Leading to overheating and a blown upper radiator tank. Assume the transmission cooler inside the radiators opened up and that was...

I'm regretfully parting ways with my 2006 LC. I bought this rig late last summer as a secondary family/adventure vehicle. I've loved every minute of it but, having recently relocated my family, we're needing something smaller and more economical. This particular Landcruiser has spent the...

Computer showed the solenoid wasn't working. We pulled it and tested it and it seems to be fine, but it is not getting oil. We assume there is a filter/screen that is clogged but do not know where it is. Does anyone on here know?
