Hello house. My Lexus is250 gives an odour when I suddenly rev the car up to a much higher speed while on the road. Or when I’m speeding on the highway (sometimes). Anybody know what the issue is? I thought of unburnt fuel and changed my plugs a while back but it still persists.

Have you checked/changed your cabin filter......

Does it smell like rotten egg or amonia?

I did and it still persisted. Though it seemed at the time like it reduced but it might just be me imagining it

Neither actually.

Hello fam.

Pls my 2007 es350 check VSC light has been on for some time now.

I have tried clearing it severally but it keeps coming on after driving for sometime.

The technician says it's because there is no catalytic converter in the vehicle.

But I feel it's not the catalyst that's the problem.

Pls any Idea on what else to do about it ?

Try scan the car and drop the scan result first. If it catalyst code or not

The ac is no longer cooling.

it happens when the AC is on?

chelseamann:

Yes. Though the ac is always on so I wouldn’t know if the smell won’t be there when it’s off. Do you think it comes in through the ac vents?

I had this issue few days back.. las las we noticed it was the radiator that was shorting water.
Also check the ac vent and AC filter

Thank you. I’ll give it a check. Was yours while on high speed or was the smell there even at moderate to low speed?

Is there any error code when you scan? If no, you may need a zero point calibration on the vehicle.

Good day everyone. Merry Christmas!

I’m planning on getting Lexus NX200T 2016, been surfing the internet trying to know so much about the car. So far, my only concern is that the vehicle requires fuel (octane number 91 or higher)

Anyone have similar car please? And are there major issues to look out for in the vehicle? Thank you

How do you intend to navigate the fuel challenge?

Dear Lexus Club ,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out regarding my 2010 Lexus RX350, which is experiencing issues with its AC compressor.

Several technicians have suggested converting the compressor to manual operation, but I'm hesitant to take this route as I'd prefer to maintain the original functionality if possible.

I live in Oyo town and would greatly appreciate your expertise and guidance on this matter. What would you recommend as the best course of action? I'm looking for a solution that maintains the vehicle's integrity while ensuring reliable AC performance.

Additionally, could you please recommend any trusted technicians that can come to Oyo town and who specialize in Lexus AC systems? I'm keen to work with someone who has specific experience with RX350 models.

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to your recommendations.

Kindly state what's the main issue with your Ac . Not every thing is compressor issue

Guys my ES300 is having trouble accelerating and I scanned it and it showed the problem is knock sensor. I have tried different knock sensors and it still shows the same issue. I don tire. What can I do?

What issues are you experiencing with your compressor?

There's a way to test that type of knock sensore manually,first make sure the sensore is okay first.
Check the wiring
Check all the fuse just to be sure
If all is fine get another ECU and test ur problem should solved.

how do I check if it's ok?

Thank you for your response. Two months after purchasing the vehicle, I noticed that the AC was not cooling effectively. I took it to a technician, who informed me that the refrigerant level was low. He refilled it, and the AC started cooling properly again. However, two months later, I experienced the same issue. The technician checked for leaks but found none. After another refill, the AC worked fine, and I had no further issues for a while.

Sometime later, I noticed that the floor mats on the driver's side and the rear enger side were getting wet. Upon consulting the technician, he discovered a blockage in the AC drainage system and fixed it. The AC worked perfectly after that, and I enjoyed it without any problems until three weeks ago.

Recently, I noticed a new issue. When starting the car, the AC would not cool at all. However, after driving to my destination and restarting the car, the AC began cooling again. This pattern repeated itself: the AC would stop cooling whenever I stopped and restarted the car during trips.

I returned to the technician, who confirmed that the refrigerant level was sufficient. He attributed the issue to the compressor, suggesting that I switch to a manual system to resolve the problem. However, I prefer not to make this change.

What issues are you experiencing with your compressor?

Thank you so much for your response. I purchased the vehicle nov 2023 and started experiencing AC problems about 2 months later. Here's the sequence of issues:

Initial Problems (First 4 Months):

At 2 months: AC wasn't cooling well. Technician diagnosed low refrigerant and refilled it.
At 4 months: Same cooling issue occurred. Technician refilled refrigerant again and checked for leaks but found none.

Floor Mat Issues:

Later discovered wet floor mats on driver's side and rear enger side
Technician diagnosed a blockage and fixed it
AC worked well after this repair

Current Problem (Past 3 weeks):

AC has become intermittent suddenly

Scenario 1: AC not cooling when first starting the car
Scenario 2: AC starts cooling after reaching destination and restarting car
Scenario 3: AC stops cooling again after another stop and restart

Latest Diagnosis:

Technician checked and confirmed adequate refrigerant levels
Diagnosed a compressor issue (he did not really check with any engine. Just looked at it and said that is the issue)
Recommended switching from automatic to manual AC system
