#19 of 20 Thanks to dontbuylexus by cc2718 Sep 08, 2007 (5:52 pm)
Thanks for the honest and detail information about the brake. I was about to leave the house to buy an is250 and decided to google "lexus is250 changing oil" because I always like to change oil myself to save time (I spend less time to change it than the time to drive some where to get it changed). You message was the first hit and it changed my mind completely and I decided not to buy it.
#20 of 20 heat by ajmtbm Nov 28, 2007 (9:15 am)
Anyone else struggling with the heater settings.   i live in the northeast and i usually leave the temperature at 72 degrees year round. here are the issues i seem to be having:   *even when the system automatically (or i manually) set the airflow to the floor, quite a bit comes out of the top stacks, and while my feet are cold, my face gets way too hot. if i turn the temperature to 70 my feet freeze, especially the left one. *when on dual mode, i set driver to 72 and passenger to 78. my left foot is now ice cold. *by hand (im trying to figure out a way to measure) it seems that the right side yields much cooler air than the left when set at 72. *closing the top vents help, but when it is a little warm in the day i have to always open and close. kind of annoying *summer / hot temperatures are no problem at all. just when it gets cold.   i have had other vehicles where when the heat is on, it is bottom only, like it should be. also, with auto temp the upper air is usually a bit cooler, never hot, but here on the IS i get hot air from the top which is particularly annoying (especially when my foot is cold).   i asked the dealer about it last winter and then said since i kept it at 70F thats why my foot was cold, system was OK. going to 72 helped my feet, but now i get a face full of steam.   the only thing i can see as a potential root cause is the difference in temperatures between the two sides. these should be the same if both sides set the same, no?   thanks for the help, obviously i would like to get as much info as possible because i know the dealer will look at me like i have 6 heads and tell me the system is fine.
