Thanks David Lexus like to charge me£674 to diagnose hybrid issue while local indie diagnosis the same as AA patrol error message POA08 and said dc dc inverter need replacing . He quoted second hand £850 with 6 months Guarantee? I am in fix what to do? This local garage was recommended by AA patrol,

I will be interested to explore this option

Who is indie? How can we take it forward as to how we get this second hand fitted? I seen few video on you tube and all talks about few cell may be bad need replacing. There are 30 cells to generate 288v jeans 9.6 v each if one or more cell stop producing at 9.6v then those cell needs replacing. Obviously, it is not possible to do by myself. It has to be a qualified person to do repairs.

I found this mobile service. Please check it out and let me know what you think

It appears if so many vehicle have water ingress issues. Does this not amounts to manufacturers problem?

I have found AA Patrol recommend Toyata specialist garage who is quoted me £1100 with 6 months warranty to replace dc/dc converter used one. Is it worth going for?

Do you recommend hybridbatterysolutions?

Mandy Is your vehicle completely stopped and not drivable? Was it driven after you called rac in first instant? My car was started by AA.

Mandeep I have similar quote from Lexus. Did you try calling any other garages or suggested by Chris to explore if the bad Hybrid cells can be revived? My vehicle is 2009, so out of warranty. To carry out further full diagnostic for hybrid is £674 then replacing DC/DC Converter part £3600+ Labour 5-6 hours at £175 ph +VAT plus any other issues. I am also in fix if it is worth spending so much. Get used parts fitted with three months warranty ony?

Similar problem as Mandy has it except AA patrol managed to start the vehicle. Reset Hybrid system Check sign but it re appeared and Red Battery sign also showing even after the service was carried out by Lexus dealer. For further diagnostic Lexus dealer require 4 hour labour £175 ph plus vat may go further depends. Any advice Mihanicos Can you recommend any mechanic or garage dealing Lexus ?

Mandy It is unbelievable that I have a Ditto problem. The water ingress and collected under the main battery area which cleared by hole punching by AA patrol. AA found Hybrid system error POA08 Dc/DC converter. However, AA patrol asked me to go to local Toyota specialist. However, I went to Lexus dealer who advised me to get a service done and that will also cover diagnostic to find out. Lexus didn't find anything. But I mentioned about water issue, Lexus come up with further diagnostic to carry out further investigation will cost £674 nothing guarantee that it will stop there. I went back to local specialist recommended by AA patrol he charged me for an hour labour and come up with the same fault as AA did. Local garage said DC/DC Converter to be replaced. He suggested will source used one cost between £700-£800 fitted with three months guarantee only. Please let me know if you have further advise or what solution you are opting for. Please drop me an email to be intouch? pr@thukral.co.uk Raj
