I have an 06 GS 300 w/ 47K...just took it in to have it serviced and they said it was leaking oil....said it had to do with some type of cap....not sure of the exact name...they said they have to take off the valve cover to get to it i believe....they also it is a common problem found in the 300's because it is a part that was poorly manufactured...anyone else have this problem?? Is this a big concern????

THANKS!!!!!

 

I had a similar problem. I took my car in to get an oil change and the service people told me there was an oil leak. I brought it into Lexus since it was still under warranty and they fixed it. Turns out there was a leak coming from the timing cover. Maybe this is the same problem with yours. While my GS was there I also had them fix the recall for the fuel rail on it also.

Hope this helps

 

^^^ yes, there's a TSB on that specific timing cover.

 

reseal timing cover, updated valve cover bolts and new camshaft housings. it's a pretty big job. They'll probably have your car for a few days depending on availabilty of parts.

 

TSB's, recalls....damn I hope this stuff comes to an end soon. I am having to take my car into lexus again for the dash to removed and replaced

 

yeah it was a pretty big job. they had to lift the motor just to get to it. so my car was in there for a few days.

 

wow.....i'm going to have them fix the fuel rail as well. Any other tsb's you guys can think of while they still have my car??? Thanks for all the feedback!!!!

 

What's a fuel rail and what function does it affect?

 

is the fuel rail recall also for the 06 GS430?

 

A fuel rail is essentially a pipe used to deliver fuel to individual fuel injectors on internal combustion engines. It is designed to have a pocket or seat for each injector as well as an inlet for a fuel supply. hope this helps.

is it only for gs300?

 

according to the previous post from burr1t0 the fuel rail is a recall...i'm going to call and find out...if anyone knows for sure, please let us know!!! I'll repost if do find anything out about it...


Thanks

 

there is a recent thread that listed current recalls for our car. Here's the link

Definitely a recall or TSIB. Took my car in today. The service rep called it a campaign. Actually, there are 3. The brakes, the fuel rail and one more I can't remember. I told them to just fix it.

 

Just got my car back....they replaced the oil leak, fuel pipe, power steering and the caliper....they said those were all the recalls....
