Hello
I’m new to forum and owners club for is220 . I live in dartford and have enjoyed a 10 relationship as a owner of this car. I have it regularly serviced and due to known fault lexus replaced 1st engine at 73 k and now have gone same on 2nd engine so making the car worth little on trade in value
my issue is this car has served me well driving all over uk in the past but recently I retired not used car fir as many long journeys which is not good on a diesel
however I seek advice as at my wits end that just before christmas the power started going and then limp mode check vsd and engine warning light
I was seduced by paying to have degassed and additives added to car didn’t work
rac reset and told me to get a new EGR valve which my mechanic surly did no joy
then we took off the DFP and got industrially cleaned and the car worked but when cold still pulled back a bit until warmed up . It was used on several long runs to Kent coast no issue and then the other day straight back to square 1 limp mode
I am taking to local lexus dealer for full diagnosis on Friday as already spent more than the car s worth to anyone else but me
however HELP as need closure and car back to normal where I feel safe driving it otherwise it’s going to traded and leave lexus which is a shame as loved the brand and car
im wondering if sensor needs changing in engine management thoughts please
thank you

Good morning
i have read some of the posts here and seems I’m not alone by getting someone to fix by de gassing that doesn’t work
I feel aggrieved by that but chalk that up and move on but as I think with mine having had a local garage put new EGR valve and having industrially cleaned the DFP it must be sensor and seeing post on MAF sensor that needs cleaning checking
I have it booked with local lexus tomorrow and fingers crossed that’s all that is wrong as can’t drive or trust it to take me far at present and have yo drive to Lincolnshire next week
any thoughts much appreciated here by return I’m no mechanic
thanks peter
