Hi guys,

My 06 ES 330's coolant disappears 2-3 days after refilling the reservoir.

No visible leaks anywhere.

The AC at lowest speed chills like a freezer grin , can this be the cause?

Read online about faulty radiator cap that allows coolant burn off , disappear, escape or vapourize faster. Can this be the issue?

Your AC is chilling because you set the temperature very low. Has nothing to do with the fan speed or coolant. Visit a competent mechanic to check your coolant issues.

Nice ride. Welcome to club. The car has many functions which will make it more enjoyable. I'll suggest you download the manual and read while you wait for it

Carefully look around your engine for any sign of leaks. If you can't find any, replace the radiator cap.

I hope you refill with coolant, not water.

not true. Speaking from experience.

No, the airbag won't be tampered with. Also, as long as its a very competent person handling that job, no wires will be cut or settings tampered with

Hello Guys, pls I need a good mechanic with expertise in Lexus. I bought a Lexus RX 330 Nigerian used about a month ago and gave it to my "trusted" mechanic to put it in good shape. I spent over 200k and now it's not working well as expected. When i am on speed and want to brake, the steering shakes so violently and the hand is never straight, if I take my hands off the steering, it starts to veer to the left. I tried another mechanic but he seems not to be getting it also.

Kindly assist with the contact of a Good Mechanic in Lagos.

Check your rotors, tyres and wheels first. As for the second part, you're spoilt for choice.

IS350: Speed, handling, engine costs over 1m.
ES350: Better fuel economy, better cabin space, cheaper parts

Very different cars.

1. Scan
2. Check tire pressure to ensure it’s pumped to the right psi
3. Check break pads might need a change....

4. Extra - Scan scan scan!! Get an obd II scanner not more than 10k

1. Check sonar means either one or more of the front or rear park distance sensors (they are small circular marks on bumper) is broken or disconnected and not replaced. That's because the car had been in a collision and it got damaged or because the bumper was removed.

2. For TPMS light, to go off you must check the wheel without the TPMS sensor or the dead TPMS usually you can do that with a TPMS scanner and then replace the sensor(s) and resync them again.

3. I have no idea the kind of sound you are talking about. Is it a mechanical clicking noise like a ratchet being pulled or an electronic chime or bung sound?

Ok, chief. Keep us updated. I've actually always wanted to own a 2GR-FSE car but the ones I like are still too expensive. cry

very sweet. I'm attached to mine. Almost 7yrs and still drives like the first day I bought it. Changed a major part (front wheel hub) for the first time on Saturday. Will still keep the ride.
