OH NO!!! You accepted the complimentary car wash! YIKES!

 

Unfortuently I didn't accept anything they did it without asking...I forgot they gave comp washes so I didn't tell them not to. ha

 

Greek,
The part numbers on the picture do not match the part numbers on your receipt. I agree with the poster that feels you got a bad cat, probably not manufactured by Lexus, and therefor an isolated incident, covered by warranty. Happy ending.

 

Ah
Your right I got my numbers mixed up. Soo they replaced an exhaust manifold?
I'm confused the description says replaced bank 1 converter. But the part says manifold. Is this the same? I'm.not really knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff.
I wonder if they got numbers mixed up while writing up the receipt because bank 1 converter is 17104 and manifold is 17140. I sure as hell hope they didn't order and install the wrong part!

 

part no. 17140-0P250 consists of all the parts listed on the diagram including part no. 17104, according to the part catalog

 

I am beyond lost. Haha

 

Greek,
I'd be lost too. Part numbers, drawings and nomenclature can vary from page to page, book to book, receipt to receipt, etc. I've given up trying to question discrepancies like this to tech reps and service advisors. When I question why a part has two different names, for example, the usual reply is a shrug of the shoulders and "that's the way it is, I guess".

I had a job where I had to order parts for equipment. I soon found out that one part can have many different part numbers, depending on how many hands the part passed thru before ending in the consumer's hands. For example, manufacturers part number, wholesaler's part number, intermediate person's part number, and so on.

I think manifold is a synonym for assembly. I ran into that once before. This is why people should be loyal to a good mechanic. Often what fixes a problem is not in a book, it's the experience of the tech.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the group.

 

That is so true....I work at a large power plant, we keep parts and consumables on hand for repairs etc. Depending on how the stores clerks input the item, the name of the item can be misleading. For example if you wanted to buy a flashlight from the storeroom you have to put "Case,Battery Holder" for a search

 

Everyone knows that the proper nomenclature is "Case, Dead Battery Holder".
Your stock clerk needs more training :-)
