Re: Club-Lexus by 2shure: 10:40pm On Mar 05 |
The one in green can,tho not guaranteed,unless u import from yankee cos obedients don adulterate Bush2013: |
Re: Club-Lexus by Maxcoded: 10:42pm On Mar 05 |
2shure: It's a red color although they showed me the green one too of about 50k, got the red color one for 35k. Tried to clean the numbers on top, didn't clean off, although the paint kind of robbed off but the number still shows clearly despite my attempt to try and rub it off with my finger. Does that indicate a fake one? |
Re: Club-Lexus by 2shure: 10:44pm On Mar 05 |
Honestly i cant say. They can repackage fake steering oil disguised as transmission oil at ladipo inside original can. Just dey pray Maxcoded: |
Re: Club-Lexus by Maxcoded: 10:53pm On Mar 05 |
2shure: Omooh, Naija. People really don't have the fear of God again, ahah I have not noticed any issues with it tho, ever since the oil change. No jerking or delay in engaging gears Although I noticed at times when I use a low gear to enter an uphill, the car quickly tries to engage a new gear(I assume gear 1) when I try to accelerate which I assume is normal. Because even in a manual transmission, you will need gear one to better navigate an uphill I might be wrong with my analysis tho, don't know too much about cars, lol |
Re: Club-Lexus by 2shure: 11:02pm On Mar 05 |
Normal hill na gear 1 na. Gear 3 na fire down.gear 4 na turbo.while gear 5 na see mary,see jesus. Pls dont forget,its not a rwd ,its a fwd ,pls dont fire it more than 100kph,or highest 120kph. o cos that es350 no balance for ground esp hard breaks on hard acceleration could be disastrous. in all take care of lexus.

Maxcoded: Pls do yourself a favour and avoid taking automotive lessons or advice from the moniker who told you to leave a fan running at full speeds immediately you turn it on. I've used quite a number of cars and their fans are all kept at factory settings. I've never had any issue with overheating. |

Maxcoded: Dem don connect am directly. ES350 wey fit enter your compound and comot without you noticing if you no use eyes look. Sometimes I go dey look rpm to check weda car still dey on when I'm inside |
Re: Club-Lexus by visita: 10:38am On Mar 06 |
My rx 350 fans were connected directly when a new radiator was installed from the port just to move it out. I hated the fact that they were always blowing at full speed and the noise. It has been corrected and returned to factory settings now and I like it better this way Besto: |
Re: Club-Lexus by Maxcoded: 8:09pm On Mar 06 |
Besto: When I'm inside the car, it's super quiet. It's only the outside that seems kind of loud due to the fans running at full speed |
Re: Club-Lexus by Maxcoded: 8:11pm On Mar 06 |
Besto: Do you recommend I return the thermostat to see how it functions? I'm very positive that if we put back the thermostat, the fan noise would definitely reduce. The only issue I have is the overheating, the mechanic said they must have removed the thermostat because it was overheating Very confused on what to do right now |
Re: Club-Lexus by Besto(m): 9:22pm On Mar 06 |
Maxcoded: Thermostat is not an electrical device and doesn't control the fans, What controls your fan is the temp sensor/ coolant temp sensor that works together with the ecu. You thermostat might still be present sef. They just connected your Fan directly to ignition line because of laziness to properly diagnose a previous overheating situation, so your situation is above the thermostat thing You need a professional car elect to connect the fans back to the default wiring lines and then observe if your radiator fan kicks in @ 200 degrees Fahrenheit, if it doesn't then he should do further diagnosis. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Maxcoded: 10:50pm On Mar 06 |
Besto: Nicely put, thanks a lot. But man, the finding the professional is the main koko. All the people I have around me are mostly Kazeems, lol Maybe get used to it? Does connecting the fan directly have an adverse effect on the engine? |
Re: Club-Lexus by Besto(m): 3:15am On Mar 07 |
Maxcoded: Engine takes time to reach operating temp So you are expected to burn more fuel in such set up. And many other like engine/gear oil flow time, so unnoticeably you fucking up your engine slowly. But as the fuel, you will notice it. Like my car it is manufacturer programmed not to enter 6th gear if the gear oil temp isn't hot yet so imagine me on your kind of fan set up trying to race my car because I'm running late. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Maxcoded: 7:45am On Mar 07 |
Besto: Thank you so much I have noticed the fuel consumption tho, it's enormous even for a V6 |
Re: Club-Lexus by Nomerci: 12:29pm On Mar 07 |
I drove with just 1 liter of fuel this morning and i covered a distance of almost a mile. B4 topping up at a filling station and yes mine is a v6. Your sensors are bad or u dont have a catalyst,or the nozzles are dirty Maxcoded: |
Re: Club-Lexus by Abbeyismo(m): 10:48pm On Mar 07 |
Maxcoded:So first your thermostat has been remove because of nigeria weather wish is wrong Secondly they put ur car fans on direct ignition wish simply means ur car is running low on temperature, With this now ur car will consume more fuel and ur engine will start building up sloge slowly because the engine is not hot enough for the whole oil to mealt no matter how long you drive the car. |

Re: Club-Lexus by jceesquare(m): 9:29am On Mar 08 |
Maxcoded:There's a way you perform an oil level check which is a mixture of checking the temperature with a live scan, or hot-wiring the system to service mode and draining out the excess oil while engine is running. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Maxcoded: 3:55pm On Mar 08 |
Abbeyismo: Not sure if this your last paragraph analysis is correct. My temperature gauge gradually increases as I drive the car, which should indicate the engine actually does get hot at a point |
Re: Club-Lexus by Abbeyismo(m): 6:33pm On Mar 08 |
Maxcoded:Normal temperature degrees suppose reach 94° when it get to 98° fan pick up and cool back to 94°. While driving without thermostat and direct fan the temperature will stay on 85° no matter how long ur distance is. With this the engine is not hot enough. Use scanner and check to confirm after ur movement. |
Re: Club-Lexus by jceesquare(m): 10:53am On Mar 09 |
Abbeyismo:Bros, at 85° C, vehicle would enter Close Loop and work optimally regardless. |
Re: Club-Lexus by kingreign(m): 11:04am On Mar 09 |
jceesquare: Depending on models, engine types and regions a lot of Toyota thermostat are rated 83°C, 86°C leave am make e dey comment anything he doesn't know. 2 Likes |
Re: Club-Lexus by Maxcoded: 9:01pm On Mar 09 |
Maxcoded: Okay so an update on this After reading so many articles online coupled with what people also said on this thread, I finally resorted to putting back the thermostat. Turns out, there was an underlying overheating issue which the "Kazeem" was too lazy to fix hence, optin for the thermostat removal. The new mechanic I tried found out the radiator was leaking at the top, he removed it and fixed it. Put it back together with the new thermostat I bought, rewired the fans back to Factory settings and voila, the annoying fan noise stopped. Now the fan only picks up when the engine gets to a certain temperature and also switches off when the temperature is at optimal temp. The temperature is now stable at the halfway mark and there is no issue of overheating, despite the super hot weather. The car is now super quiet. ..and oh, I found out today that my under-hood catalyst is absent, 😂. But that's a "fight" for another day Thanks for everyone who contributed, really appreciate it 1 Like |
