TSB Help... Bought a used IS250
I just recently purchased a used 07 IS250 with 61,000 miles on it and I was wondering does having TSB work only available during the manufacter warranty (60,000 miles i think) I have this clattering noise coming from the engine all the time.. I noticed when I did a oil change to Royal Purple 5W-30 from Mobil 1 Syn....(don't know if that makes a difference). Also im getting some CRAZY brake dust from the front wheels and Ive read theres a TSB for that too. Ive had the car for 2-3 months and put 6k miles so I dont think I can take it back to the original Non-Lexus dealer that I bought it from. Another thing I noticed is the extreme rattle from coming into first gear. I feel and hear rattle from the clutch and takeoff. Please pray for my baby!

Unfortunately I believe the TSB for the brake dust can only be done within 50,000 miles. As for the clattering noise you're hearing from the engine, I believe the noise you're describing is the direct injectors which is normal.. I was scared too initially until a buddy of mine also had the same noise. The only other rattle from the engine with a TSB is for the rattling noise during start-up and that can be covered by the 70,000 miles powertrain warranty. Hope this helps.
