I discovered an oil leak while performing some maintenance. The GS450H has 80k miles. I am trying to determine if this is the common oil leak or perhaps the fitting at the top. 2GR-FSE Timing Cover...
View 1 Replies5 months ago I replaced the O2 sensor on the upper part. Now getting a reading that the Catalytic is not performing right. Is there another sensor that could be bad or the one i replaced is bad? Or is there a way to clean out ?
View 12 RepliesWhen I had a new battery installed, the check engine light came on; initially, testing showed 2 valves performing "intermittently". Have done a full tune-up with new spark plugs & rotor, which briefly fixed it. Anything that can be done other than a full valve job?
View 7 RepliesFor starters I hardly drive my gs430 and ill put it this way. Its almost been a year and i still haven't put 5k miles on the vehicle. back to the matter at hand. I am starting to see an oil leak in my driveway from this vehicle. I am unsure exactly where its coming from. It could be from the valve cover or the cam seal (assuming that is what it is called). The leak is above the alternator that is why I think its the valve cover and or the cam seal (if that's what it is)...
View 4 RepliesI have just purchased a 2008 Santa Fe Limited and there is a problem with the steering. At slow speed, particularly in reverse when performing a full-lock turn, the power delivery is jerky and the vehicles jumps a bit.
It feels like either the AWD system is binding or the CV joints are operating beyond their limits. I have ready other posts that this is a known problem - the dealer I bought it from said the same, that it is known and seems to be accepted by Hyundai, there seems to be no recall on this and apparently this doesn't happen in post 20009 models when they face-lifted and supposedly changed the steering lock limits.
I'd like to understand more what is happening, see if there is a solution that I can implement, or alternatively if I have to just accept this, then it would be good to get reassurance that what I am feeling is not going to damage something further down the line.
I have a 2009 GS 350 AWD and this is my first issue I have had with my sunroof. It was raining this morning and we noticed that both rear corners of the sunroof have a steady drip leak. I opened and closed the glass as I figured it was a positioning issue but the leaks remain. I know there are drains but my guess is that the drains will not work fast enough for the water to drain (there is no other leaking and it is not leaking into the headliner yet).
View 2 RepliesI have a 2006 RX 330 with 116,000 miles. I noticed that i had a leak and the power steering oil level was low. I went under the car and looks like the power steering hose is leaking. The dealer wants $352 for hose and $325 for labor. I called auto parts stores and they say its a dealer item only. Someone told me I could have a hose company rebuild it for a lot less.
View 5 RepliesAbout a month ago the "Check VSC" warning came on in my 2006 GS300 AWD. This happened after the car was in the garage all night and when I started the car in the morning. The car was at the dealer for 2 days and the saved codes showed multiple errors for the evap system, but they couldn't find anything specifically wrong and the light warning went off after all the systems checked out.
A week later the warning came on again, and the codes indicated incorrect purge flow and a gross leak. After 3 days in the shop they decided that the problem was caused by a faulty gas cap, which was replaced. You guessed it! A week later the warning came on AGAIN! I'm taking the car to the shop on Thursday. I'm really getting tired of driving my car 40 miles to the dealer just to have the warning show up again in another week!
What should one expect during the 10K service? Is there anything I should ask for specifically? I already got some default settings fixed during my 5K visit.
View 1 RepliesHave water on passenger side floorboard after a heavy rain or car wash. Seems to come from more the dash glovebox area than rocker panel. I'm aware of cleaning sunroof drains, don't think that's it.
I've removed the kick panel, can see drain, it's not too short like other post show. I realize it could be the windshield, but what about the cowl drains?
Now to the clicking noise. I hear it when AC is on recirculate, if I switch to fresh air, it stops. The temp outside or in, seems irrelevant.
Maintenance light is Flashing on and off after initial startup, could it be that its trying to tell me its time to change oil or could it be something else. It is time to change my oil based on the mileage that it was last changed.

View 4 RepliesRight now my car is approaching 4K miles.. but in a couple of weeks my wife will be taking a long trip that will easily put her over the 5K mile mark, and If I was told correctly, that means the "maintenance" light will come on.... is there a way I can reset that before she leaves, or at least a way I can tell her how to reset it when it comes on while she's out of town.. Kinda silly to have the maintenance light come on every 5K when they suggest 10K oil changes.
View 4 RepliesYesterday I was going home and I had a dead 'battery' on my 2006 Prius. The lights were dim inside and all the maintenance lights came on. I realized when I had left the car at lunch, it was beeping at me so I figured something was left on.
View 13 RepliesBought a 2006 avalon xls that has 49k miles on it. Yesterday the light came on. What this means. I had to pay toyota $90 to diagnose check engine light a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately it was just a bad gas cap seal.

View 14 RepliesSo I've recently had my 10,000 kms service and the very next day this warning pops up on my screen that says "Injector Maintenance Required". I believe it's just a reminder. How to get rid of this warning? Or should i take my car back to the dealer?
View 5 RepliesHow do I do this? I see a lot about pushing the odometer button but on the hybrid there does not appear to be a button on the bottom right of the tachometer.
View 6 RepliesI have a 2013 LS and am getting a maintenance reminder when I start the car. I was curious to see if there was a place to see what maintenance is due in the user interface. I have looked in Maintenance, but none of the dates are set. Does it just automatically trigger from some factory reset at 4500 miles or so for the oil changes?
