no engine light on. never had it in a past.

none of the lights are one, just regular "ready" sign, and other, lights as on any usual day. Plugs - The old plugs were Denso, purchased @eurocarparts plate linked NGK (408992420) ones. When Fitted NGK. So when this drama turned up, I've plugged in OBD2, it didn't show any errors at all. My first thought @that time was a misfire, obd2 proofed as false alert. I must admit with new plugs the consumption when up (was: 42mpg; with new plugs: 35.3mpg). So after realising the consumption is definitely higher (worked out on 4-5 tanks), I decided to fit the old plugs back (frankly didn't get rid of them). Straight away consumption got back to the pleasant numbers 🙂 Will plug in OBD tonight again, and will post you. I've been advised that it could be of the going head gasket, hence all that noise is somehow related to the point of oil mixing with petrol, what sounds quite unusual, as one of the head gasket symptoms, would be high temperatures in cooling system, which isn't an issue at all. thanks for your texts. vlad

Hi All, I recently changed the spark plugs and soon after that, I started to hear a strange noise, when engine is cold started (video attached). As part of worrying noise, during the time I hear noise, front wheels shake/vibrate, looks like gearbox is putting pressure on them, but not enough to move. Note: during filming, break parking pedal depressed; car in parking mode. About car: 2012 Lexus CT200h SE-I Premier, 179000 miles Have anyone had similar issues, and any suggestions are really appreciated. Thank you. 20210219_161035_1.mp4
