Salil dit que Lexus a réparer, ils on remplacer les soupapes et des cales ainsi qu'un paquet de pièces du coté conducteur. Tu peut lui demander une copie du devis et de la facture avec le détail du travail effectuer, il a un pdf.

No, please, no italians!

bonjour,

je ne parle pas un mot d'anglais
j'utilise le traducteur de google pour vous lire
je vous répond en français, en pensant que vous faites pareil pour me lire

salil, peut tu m'envoyer la liste des travaux fait sur ta voiture

dès que je trouve comment faire, je poste des photo de mon is-f (blanc)

j'ai passer ma voiture sur un banc de puissance
12000km carburant SP95 =360ch din moteur
15000km carburant SP95-E10 =407ch din moteur
16000km carburant SP98 =399ch din moteur

normalement elle devrait avoir 423ch din moteur

en france elle coute 73000€

C'est etonnant qu'il y ait de telles differences entre SP95 et SP95-10, je ne le crois pas vraiment. En Californie 91 est le max qu'on trouve. Il faudra se mettre a l'anglais gege, sans cela 99% de Google t'est inaccessible.

I hate to resurrect this old thread but my engine has this same ticking sound too. I have listened to the recordings and it is unmistakable. Mine seems to be there on cold start ups but goes away after the engine warms up. I need to pay a bit more attention to it to know exactly when it happens, I only recently recognized it.

Any details that the other here have from their own experience with repair etc. is greatly appreciated.

Salil022 can you email me the paperwork they received after the repair was complete?

Thanks!

i had this same issue and i brought it to the dealer and they replaces one side of my exhaust manifold because they said it was a catalytic converter, so they replaced it and it fixed the issue.

UCrazyKid

Did you get a check engine light for the catylist or did they just diagnosis it on the sound?
Thanks

MRISF

no check engine just diagnosis from there main master tech there

Got the same random ticking sound on my car and some friend got the same noise too.
The noise is notable since the engine got hot. Maybe it comes from the heatshield/screws around the headers... the metal extends & contracts. just a thought...

Nevertheless, next week i will swap the full stock exhaust and replace it with the ZEES. I will take a closer look around the header region....

according to them it took 8 hours of labor and then a new manifold because the catalytic converter is on the manifold

UCrazyKid

I understand heat issues but one would expect the sound to continue for a short time after the car was stopped as cooling occurs. Unfortunately to me the sounds seems rythmic and likely is originating from a rotating part. That is what freightens me, something internal.

i thought the same thing, but mine did it when the car was nice and warm not on a cold start.

best thing to do is take it to the dealership and they will probably send out a lexus field rep like they did with me and then they will decide something

UCrazyKid

08mrisf, would you be willing to send me scans of the work orders that were done on your car? Or the names of the factory reps you worked with? Thanks!

Still waiting and hoping that someone will email/pm me with their service receipts for this repair.

Thanks.
