why would anyone use a Lexus main dealer when all hybrid warranties have expired (battery) - are they expecting better service than a good independent - that's a lucky dip. Franchises have no incentive to exceed expectations because there are enough naïve motorists that are too lazy to find better.
So the clean park sonar message. They are all clean. Connect tech stream. No error codes. Run Clearance Sonar LIve Test (Data List) and get bizarre "Lost Communication with Vehicle" message popup - can go no further and retry has same outcome. TPMS live test is ok so not an issue with Techstram Connection. Ran Health Check on all ECUs and no problem.
Conclusion - Clearance Sonar ECU gone. Does anyone know where the ECU is and instructions on how to replace. They cost 400+ new.
My 2013 F-sport has been reading (car) over 9l/100km for the last 2 months - reset or not - all short journeys - never seen it climb this high before (3 years of ownership - Ireland). It could be a few things but with 125,000 on clock I would assume a new battery would help improve the situation ...
Slightly off topic but I've noticed that in auto mode (D) at motorway cruise speed, the engine revs are higher (by about 500) than switching to manual and paddle shifting to 6th gear - now what's that all about?
The seats cannot be repaired. The cover and internals are glued together - I had the same problem after buying from lexus used (110K). It cost me 800 euros for a new back. Mind you, mine are NOT leather.
