Lexus RC F 2015+ :: Removing Grill In Front Of Transmission And Engine Oil Coolers?


Dec 13, 2015

Several times it would have been nice just to pull the plastic grills off and clean out the bugs. What are the details on how you can do this?

Using a tube to vacuum tube through the grill holes can result in bending the fins. Attached is an example hack at a coin op on a road trip. Need a better way.

Lexus SC430 :: Strange Smell Coming From Engine And Through Front Grill

I have a 2002 SC430 with 130K+ miles. I have recently noticed that after some spirited driving the front of my car smells strange. I can even smell it outside of the car in the front where the radiator is. The smell is coming from the engine and through the front grill.

If I set my climate control to pull air in from the outside then the smell will get pulled into the cabin.

I checked to see if the exhaust evap hose got disconnected but it has not (can also cause smell around the car). The check engine light is not on and the temperature gauge appears normal. I've noticed my windows seems to fog up easily too now (I run the heater all the time since it's winter here), perhaps some antifreeze is getting into the climate control system? I'm hoping it's not my heater core starting to go, since that's an expensive repair.

Perhaps this could be a sign that the radiator is leaking? I got the car used and believe I have the original radiator in there.

Lexus RC F 2015+ :: Black Paint Peeling Across The Bumper Behind The Massive Grill?

My RC-F has like 8k miles on the odo. I first noticed it at around 6K miles and I thought my RC-F had picked up some "small pieces of wet tissues or some white paint from road construction". But upon closer examination it is the black paint across the black bumper behind the massive grill peeling the black paint thereby revealing its original white paint.

My front end looks like a Dalmatians dog with black and white spots.

I did not hit anything. Dealer is fixing it under warranty. So will wait and see.

Picture attached..........

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Should Run Dual Transmission Coolers?

Running dual coolers? I just got a new transmission not too long ago and want it to last. Was looking at this mishimoto with fan. That way in the winter i can deactivate it and use it while towing or summer. Also the way I see it if I leave the stock cooler in place it's one less thing to mess with.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Front Grill Is Bubbling Up

Got back from a three hundred mile trip and after washing the car I noticed that the chrome wrap on my 450h 2013 front grill is bubbling up? The last month temperatures have been around 10 degrees but no snow. Will take to dealer next time in Spokane. But would like to know how to prevent this in the future.

Prius (2010-12) :: Can Engine Be Swapped Without Removing Transmission?

Just bought a 2010 Prius II. The engine was overheated. Question, is there enough clearance to remove the engine alone, or will I need to drop the engine and transmission as an assembly? Looks Ike there is room. Mechanic at the dealer is telling me there isn't.

Sonata I45 (LF 2015+) :: Removing Rear Deck Subwoofer Placeholder?

I drive a Sport and have installed a subwoofer and amplifier to work with the stock head unit and speakers. However, I find the subwoofer sounds a bit muffled and I think I need to create a bit of an air flow between the trunk and the cockpit.

I did notice the rear deck has a big hole where the 8 inch subwoofer sits in higher trims. The hole is however, covered with a plastic dummy or cap or placeholder or whatever it is Hyundai calls it. If I can remove that, I can make some air flow and believe the subwoofer might sound better. How to remove it?

Sonata I45 (LF 2015+) :: Transmission Would Not Move Into Park When Turning Engine Off

I pulled into my garage yesterday and when I tried to move the transmission into Park it would not move. I tried turning the engine off and nothing would allow the transmission selector to move. I thought I would have to push something into the transmission lock slot but the only thing I had that was close to being able to fit into the small slot was the key in the FOB but it would not fit. By pure chance I happen to push on the transmission selector to the right and it moved over and then I was able to push it forward into Park. I must have pushed the selector into the sport mode when I entered the garage.
