Stupid question re carbon build up
My 08 IS250 is at the dealer for correction of carbon build up among other things. Car has only 48K on it but dealer called me to advise theyre replacing pistons/rings. My question is does water pump have to be removed to do this. My pump is starting to leak and if it has to come off repairing the carbon problem,I want to see if dealer will replace water pump and charge me for only the part. Thanks for help anyone can give

Piston change can be done with or without removing engine (much easier with engine out...) and I don't know what Lexus tech are doing, but I suggest you call them and ask since it could save you some big dollars!
If not, water pump is right in front of the engine (not a hard reach). You can do it yourself no problem, it's not a big job if you have a few mechanical knowledge.
