Just looked at my paperwork from when I took the car back for the CEL and VSC.
"Trouble code P0441 - Incorrect EVAP emission system purge flow."
"Purge flow found loose connection at the EVAP emissions purge valve. Fastened connector and performed EVAP emission monitor check."

If anybody on here has this done in Jacksonville or Mobile, please post how it goes. I'd kind of like to have it done in Jacksonville and hang out in St. Augustine for a day or two while they have the car, but am a bit nervous after reading the thread. Also, I guess the fact my car hasn't seen a Lexus dealership since before I owned it.

I specifically asked them if it did and they said yes, however they covered my windshield so that my dash cam can't capture anything so I am not sure if it was on the lift or not. And then during the test drive phase they disconnected my dash cam. That really pissed me off because they asked me to shut if off and I specifically told them not to touch it, especially if it will be test driven...

^^^Wow! They did that after you specifically told them not to! What did they say when you noticed that they disconnected everything?

I'm taking mine in to Lexus of Orlando this Saturday. I'm also worried about what may happen. They didn't mess up my valve adjustment so hopefully they can handle this....

Keep us posted. I am definitely opposed to having some hack touch my car, and will be looking for a quality dealer tech in So Cal.

They remove the intake manifold and all the low pressure injectors just to get to the fuel pressure sensor. If they drop the sensor, it has to be replaced. All new seals for the low pressure injectors (on principle), and a new throttlebody gasket. They polish the sealing surface for the pressure sensor, and have a very complex method of ensuring the seal on the new o-ring. Of course, with the intake manifold off, they'll be able to see if you are leaking coolant from the o-rings between the water pump and the coolant reservoir on top of the valley between the cylinders. If this is leaking, they'll be telling you about the repair which includes removing the timing cover (no small feat) and in all likelihood, replacing one (or more) direct injection injectors because they broke when they removed the connectors.
There is nothing about this repair I think is fit for a typical line tech. After having my water pump replaced under warranty and seeing the quality of the clean up they did (It made me take it back to them because it appear to still be leaking), I am not at all confident this will be executed the way I would want.
The service document is 57 pages and has two steps where two technicians are required to prevent damage to the wiring harness. I am very unhappy about this.

I have assumed it was the coolant reservoir/expansion tank venting, but after this information I am beginning to wonder. Have searched the forums but found no further information on the coolant leak issue. Is it that rare? My car is a '13 with 8500 miles on the clock.
