IS250 Carbon Build up CSP
#92
Now why wouldn't they do this to begin with?? Engine engineers try to have the least amount of ring tension as possible. less ring tension means less resistance = better fuel economy and power.....as well as engine life. And they got it right......only the absence of fuel coming from port
injectors has caused issues......but only on cars driven in certain conditions. vehicles that are generally driven harder and hotter are a lot less likely to have carbon issues.
The difference in ring tension is so minor that there's no real difference in economy or power....it's just enough to keep the blow-by at a lower level.

5 more small bolts and the water pump will be separated from the timing cover....which will be removed. they should be able to do it either free of labor or .5 hours at the most.

I got the letter several days ago...
just want to make sure about the 9 year coverage.....
so my car is a 06, does that mean this issue only covers me till 2015?
or
if i took it to the dealership, diagnosed, they took into the shop, and fixed it lets say today
does that mean it covers me till 10/01/2021???
if so, it probably means its a reoccurring problem?

I dropped mine off at Lexus yesterday. The carbon build up issue wasn't that bad on my IS. I've only had the vibrations a few times but it doesn't happen everyday. My dealer was able to duplicate the problem so they have started the repair. In the mean time, I'm driving a very nice and new 2012 RX350.

I got this letter the other day also. I have an '06 IS250 AWD with 140K miles. I've felt this issue a few times at idle or coming to idle.
Not sure if it's worth it tearing up the car and trusting some dealership mechanic to put it back together
What's the warranty after they do this CSP?
