I am a lady and my mechanic quoted a small fortune for the price of a fuel filter replacement. I have little experience regarding care maintenance. After watching your video, I was able to replace my own fuel filter and saved myself a fair amount of money!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this amazing and detailed video!!! You made the poo process so easy!!! 💗💗💗
Thanks so much for this tutorial, I followed it step by step and it all worked perfectly... Until I had to fit it back into the tank. I hadn't taken a photo before removal, so was putting it back in the tank in the incorrect position. After playing around a bit I got it right. I'd advise anyone doing this to take a photo before removal; and note how the float sits in the tank, so they don't end up in my earlier situation, where the float was jamming against the hose in the tank. Also gloves are necessary for this job. I didn't wear any and ended up cutting my hands on the sharp metal housing. Thanks again for posting this. Much appreciated.
I'm guessing that the fuel pump didn't need replacing. I will replace both on my ride at the same time. Awesome video because it shows how to replace two important parts.
I can't stress this enough...BEFORE you remove the fuel filter, CLEAN ALL the dirt, dust, and debris around the entire area. Basically, eALL surfaces that are visible through the fuel filter access port. Us a paintbrush, vaccum, and some rags. The LAST thing you want is the dorst to go into you fuel tank and cause a whole bunch of problems, premature fuel pump failure, clogged fuel filter/ system, rust in the gast tank, etc. A ton of money and time wasted. Let's not mention MAJOR headaches. Also, just buy a drop in Fuel pump. It comes 100% assembled with all new components. Less chance of things breaking when transfering over parts.
Just took my pump out because of an annoying ticking noise and low MPG, the filter was totally blocked, car only has 89k miles on it, 100 percent would advise people to change it as its a cheap part and can probably sort alot of performance and silly noise issues out.
I figured out my problem it was a fuel pump, i was a cranking no start situation and had no idea what was happening, i had replaced the sparks plugs, maf, throttle body, and even the fuel pressure sensor nothing, it wasnt until i did diagnosis myself that i figure out i wasnt getting fuel, getting a spark tester for this car is tough unless you got a long or take out the sparm plug its pretty hard, did a screwdriver test by sticking it in the ignition coil in 1 since there are so many electronics on this vehicle this is the safest spot, i saw i was getting spark, to test the fuel pressure on this vehicle i havent seen a video but i figured it out from another video which gave me an idea of where it may be, ill link it to my comment here, but to find the fuel pressure spot to connect to its next to the battery of this vehicle, i couldnt find it at first because it has a black cover you have to take off then you can see the green clasps to detach the fuel pressure line to connect a fuel pressure tester, i realized i was getting 10 psi, so i was getting no pressure it should be like 50 to 80 so it led me to the conclusion of a bad fuel pump
Great job! I have a fuel smell inside the interior when driving on mountains roads. Can it be big O ring on the top of the fuel pump assembly? It never happen on flat highways only when going decline..
@bosmanragga51 for anyone interested and facing similar issues, it is just the flaps inside the rear bumper which are open all the time on my euro model (lexus has an updated part for those). I fixing it by just adding some tick sponge inside of those flaps to stop the exhaust gasses getting inside the cabin.
Hey guys! I have a 08 IS250 that’s having some issues. The car is cranking, but no start. Eventually after 2nd or 3rd attempt, it officially starts. Once it starts, theres a deep rumbling sound underneath the car. No check engine light was on, but still scanned it either way and came out with 1 code which was Intake Air Temp Sensor was high. So I replaced the MAF sensor. Checked the throttle body, air filter. All were clean. Any ideas whats wrong with it?

Lexus quoted me the price of a kidney for this job. This video saved me. Could not have done it without this! Thanks!

What is the already assembled fuel filter/ fuel pump assembly called? Or do u know its part number?

❤do you have to disconnect the battery before removing it??thank you 😊
Extremely helpful, thank you very much! ❤️❤️
Thanks. Great help.

Yours its the fuel pressure sensor going out

Remove the back seat and listen to how the pump works - it can transmit vibrations through the fuel lines to the entire body
Did you find out what was wrong mate I have the same issue
Dude this sounds exactly like my problem
I’m having the same issues and don’t know anything about cars I don’t know if it’s the fuel pump or the fuel filter
@@levimcmillan8820 i figured mine out it was a fuel pump
Did you see a difference in performance after replacing filter
Power tools and fuel vapour don't like to mix 😮
❤what about the pump you're not going to change it 😊
Would this be the same process on a 2014 is250
Yes
Thank you so it's also located underneath the back seat
Good job 👏 you
What was the milage when it clogged?
80000km
Does rx350 2010 has the same I never changed its 240k km
Yes similar to this
Thanks alot
What u use to clean it
Carbi cleaner
How do you know if it's clogged? Any way to physically see?
No
Change for the mileage
😮made it too complicated
Ghonde Auto!
