Listen to the engine sound and tell me if thats normal .

Best regards

I would like to listen but a little wary of the mediafire site as it make my antivirus software alarm.

 

Sounds like a normal direct injected engine to me.

 

Unless I am mistaken, the RX350 engine isn't direct injected.

 

Yeah, I wasn't going to be the first either..

 

You're probably right. I forgot the transverse V6s never received DI. No problems here opening the file on my phone...

 

Cool....

 

I was going to point that out soon too, that the engine sound is pretty darn loud...and sounds like crap on mine as well. I often thought that something maybe wrong as this is Lexus after all...

IT could be that engine is mounted high, there is plenty of space and echo to go through...however I did shop and did carefully look at the Q3 and Q5 and Acura MDX...RX does not sound refined or premium. at least from what I thought.

 

How close were you to the engine bay? Was the engine cold?

To have an accurate baseline for us to compare to our RXs, take a video of it. If you can't, provide feedback on the above two questions.

 

I was very close to the engine.The engine was not cold. THANKS

 

No problem with the sound site. Mac user. Good speakers.
The engine should not have clicking noises. Let us know what the mechanics say.

Yeah please tell me if there is something wrong .

 

There is something wrong.

The sound appears to me to be the fuel injectors, though, I am loathe to say that it is not operating proper or to any given tolerance. As we have no information provided as to the age nor mileage on this vehicle, silverar's profile is blank, any statements including my own are merely guesses.

This is one instance where the vehicle needs to be professionally examined by a Lexus trained technician for a proper diagnosis.

 

Here are some images if it can help



Please tell me anything u know.
