Replying to: rvm1 (Mar 03, 2009 11:55 am) I have also had the moldings from my rear quarter windows blow off. The first time it happened, I had the window replaced (expensive). This time, after the weather warms up a bit, I am going to glue the molding on. I had the pump on my air suspension replaced at about 40K miles. I am still a fan of Lexus.

Replying to: tdtibbetts (Apr 01, 2009 8:03 am) The solenoid on my air tank (air suspension) is noisy. Est $975 to replace. This is the second major repair on the air suspension system  64K miles.

The owner's manual says the gas tank capacity is 19.5 gallons. On the only road trip that I took since we bought in Dec, the low gas light was on for some 20 miles, thinking it had to be dry, I was able to put only 17.3 gallons in it. Do these RX330 AWD really hold over 19 gallons? Thanks, Joe |

I just bought a lexus RX 330 2005 with 60,000Km (certified by the Lexus dealer) . I find it has wierd AC behaviour. It was very hot two days ago, around 33 degrees celsius (90 F) and the AC was fluctuating between very cold air and mild cold all the time. The cold air output was not sufficient to cool the car confortably. Both sides were on LO and I tried recirculate and no recirculate and the effect was the same I pushed the fan to maximum speed and heard a distinctive groaning noise coming from the fan. (When I shut off AC the fan noise remains there so no link with the AC ) AC and fan are not covered by waranty in on certified lexus in Canada I do not know what is going on. and before I go to the dealer for a costly repair could you help me if any of you have a RX330 with those three questions: 1- When your AC is on do you feel the compressor is constantly starting and stopping and the air outlet temperature is constantly fluctuating from very cold to "not so cold" . 2- in very hot weather do you have enough cooling in the cabine (i suppose yes since i did not see any complaints in the forum on that) 3- When your fan is at the highest speed , do you hear a groaning noise , or is it really silent. Noise is distinctively higher and groaning than when fan is at low speed. (This is independent from the AC on or off) Thanks

Replying to: zzzzzz982000 (Apr 29, 2009 8:45 pm) For quick cooldown on a hot day I always turn the system to max cooling, 65F, and adjust the fan for an "acceptable", lower, noise level. You can increase the A/C cooling efficiency significantly, and get a slight gain in FE, by blocking the hot water flow to the heater core during the summer.

Been having a rattle noise in the back of the car Tried to find out where the rattle was coming from It turned out it is the two latches on the rail that hold the trunck cover I squeezed two small pieces of soft plastic behind the latches and the rattle disapeared. You can use cloth or paper and it will do the job
