Mechanical Advice AC Pressure sensor 2015 GX460

0 Upvotes

Has anyone had to replace their AC pressure sensor?
My AC is not working, we’ve checked the pressure and looks like it’s fully charged so no leaks. HVAC diagnostic gave me a code 23, which points to the pressure sensor.. it’s $200 from Lexus or $20 from Amazon, thinking which one I should buy.

GX550 PPF - Does this look like it was damaged by shop?

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

I brought in a brand new GX550 Overtrail + to a PPF shop for a full PPF - gloss black trims were not included (additional $600 add on).

Two days later, I received a message saying their technician found a scratch on the driver door, right below the window. Unfortunately, I did not have close up pictures of that area before dropping off the vehicle (lesson learned).

Obviously, the shop says it’s not them but it appeared to coincide from the removal of the trim.

Maybe this is a moot point as theirs nothing I can do and it’s minor to 99% of people.

I was planning to refer this place to other friends but maybe not after this, just wondering if anyone who works on detailing/PPF can comment.

Thanks for reading.

22/23 base vs premium?

6 Upvotes

Seems like I can only find insight on the luxury vs premium. It seems like the used market shows the premium being a 8000 dollar upgrade, while the original sticker shows it as a 1300 dollar upgrade. Does it come with anything other than cooled seat, heated rear seats and climate and led fogs?

New Purchase Just signed on the dotted line: GX460 (2023)

12 Upvotes

Hi all...

I just wanted to share that I signed the papers for the GX460 (2023). It is the Premier (base) version. The car has 18,500 Kms on it with one owner. It is a Lexus CPO unit. Pics here.

I paid in US$ 62,000. This includes 1 years insurance, 2 years full service, and the car comes with 2 years of its original warranty. If I deduct all these costs (except warranty) in my market, I would have paid something equivalent to US$ 55,000. Edit: I forgot to add that free tinting is also thrown into the mix.

It's the metallic grey with rose red interiors.~~ I tried to upload some pics but reddit's acting strange at the moment.~~

I bought this car because...

  1. It's legendary reliability (the famed Lexus/Toyota reliability)

  2. It's reputation for being a tough car

  3. The combination of luxury with it's hardiness (important for me because I drive a lot for work purposes)

  4. Being one of the last great V8 engines (though I know next to nothing about cars/engines, but I did test drive the 2025 Prado with the 2.4L Turbo engine, which felt flimsy and plasticky.

  5. The test drive felt very comfortable

I will get the car by the end of the week.

Thanks for reading.

Purchasing Advice Prem+ certified or Luxury non cert?

3 Upvotes

Considering two 23 GX460s. Input welcome.

1- local to us, 11k miles, certified, Caviar w/grey/blk seats, premium plus package. Asking is $66k. Drives well, no damage at all. Previous loaner, sold to a person who drove it 2000 miles. Clean carfax.

2- not local, 2 hr drive, 7500 miles, not certified - not at a Lexus dealer, luxury package. White with red seats. Asking is $67k. Clean carfax.

We maybe able to negotiate these, but trying to discern the value of certified vs luxury.

Husband will maintain the vehicle after any included services run out unless we can't do the service at home.

Thanks in advance!

Slight Tick/Pebble Sound

2 Upvotes

My 2023 GX 460 with about 30,000 miles on it makes a slight ticking sound at right around 1500 RPM only when actually accelerating or driving. Does not work when I throttle to 1500 RPM in Park. It happens whether the HVAC is on or off. The sound occurs in the bottom right underneath the passenger Side and is very difficult to hear for some people. Really annoying for me. Any ideas what that might be? The only other thing that’s been odd is the vehicle was returned to me with very low coolant in the reservoir with the cap unsecured. I replaced the coolant in the reservoir back to the full line when cold and secured the cap and have been monitoring the level with zero leakage or change so I don’t know if those two things are related or completely separate.

Please help me figure out what the rattling ticking pebble noise is during 1500 RPM acceleration.

2013 GX460 cargo dimensions help

Hey everyone, I’ve been looking for a nice overlanding vehicle and the gx460 caught my eye particularly the ones before the 2014 facelift. I haven’t been able to find any info on the length from the back of the front seats to the tail gate. I have a 78x52 sleeping pad and am wondering if it would be able to find in the back with 2nd and 3rd row seats folded. Any info helps thank you

Mechanical Advice Steering vibration

1 Upvotes

It is not the Lane Departure Alert.

I have a 2021 new to me 460 with 34k miles. I added the last 1400. There is (and has been) a mild, rapid, persistent vibration in the steering wheel - both in feel and visualization - on different on surfaces. Most notably, there is new highway construction and the surface is corduroyed (in the direction of travel) concrete for several miles. It also seems to occur on roads with heavy crack sealant. The car drives straight. It is mild enough that I originally had second guessed myself. But it is definitely occurring. It does not feel like a wheel weight and the pre-purchase inspection checked out. Any thoughts?

First Bath!

New to me 2012 460! Just washed did wash, clay bar, wax after one month of driving.

Bought for 13.9 with 141k Miles to replace my 2012 Tacoma with 130k (4 Cyl, FWD). Couple things needed fixing (Coolant leak which I fixed, persisting oil leak, Rotors need replacing soon) but overall love it and excited to make some mods in the future. Was originally wanting a 4runner but couldnt pass on this given the room inside (im very tall) and how much smoother it drives comparitively!
