2016 Lexus RX450h F - Sport Engine Noise Update 2.5.22

[robpace]

Still haven't got Car back yet, and as you know, the Car was returned to Lexus Gatwick for the Third Time on 28th March !

Had a Phone Call from Tim , their Master Technician who i know is trying his best,last week telling me Number 1 Port Injector has now been replaced ( Number 4 was replaced on Second Return )

My Shell V - Power Fuel had been drained and replaced with fresh Fuel as a precaution as he was getting multiple misfires, and my Fuel has been sent away to be checked for Contamination . Should get Results back soon, he said 10 days max. from when they sent it.

So Engine was put back together , Refuelled and he said they are now getting no Misfires at all, but for some reason the Engine is now down on Power.

So they are now trying to sort the Under Power Issue out .

Apparently, they had another one come in last week with exactly the same Engine Knock/Rattle/ Vibration, parked next to mine in Workshop ,and ive also received a Private Message from Steve from Scotland with his doing exactly the same as mine in the Videos.

How common is this Problem ?

I'll be ringing the very helpful Customer Service Team at Lexus UK tomorrow.

Will keep you posted !

Thanks

Rob

I applaud you for your patience in persevering with trying to get this engine/fuelling problem sorted, but I have to ask after all this would you, once car is sorted, be really comfortable/have confidence with the vehicle going forward ?.

I suspect if it was a common problem the dealer would know how to fix it instead of giving you the run around...
