RA032023

Have some chirping going on @45,000 miles. Bought it about 5,000 miles ago. Got off the air induction assembly and had my wife goose the gas. Of course, no chirping! However, I'd sure like the routing info before I start. Have the belt, anyway, in case I have to hve the shop do it. Also, necessary to replace the tensioner pulley wheel or no?
My 400 and 430's were a heck of a lot easier to access.
Thanks in advance!

I would think the front but having really loked at it can't tell. im pretty certain in the front its not a tranverse v8 so it has to be up front, might have remove panels but its there.

I know where the belt is, just not where the placard denoting the routing diagram is. In every other car I've owned, it was either under the hood or near the fan shroud. No clue on this. Probably under the heading of "Take it to your Lexus Dealer" which is 120 miles away.

Easiest way would be to take a picture of it. Otherwise I could probably find it in my repair manual tomorrow.

If you have a chance to send me a snap of it, I'd sure appreciate it! WHere does one get a repair manual?

Many Thanks to you all!

Damn that tensioner looks hard to get to!

@Adamls2. Yes it does look hard to access. My fix was a can of belt dressing, killed the squeak, new belt in the trunk, kicked the can down the road. AFTER dismantling the air induction assembly it would be quite a knuckle scraper to DIY. Thonk I'll pay to have it done in the long run.
