2013 Lexus Ct200h F Type Clogged Egr or Worse...
I have a 2013 Lexus Ct200h F Type with a potential major issue. Engine already burns oil because of rear seal leak into the timing chamber if I'm not mistaken. $3500 for that repair because the engine has to be removed. Then this started to happen on the way home one day... Rough idle, sputtering sound, sort of knocking noise. Video will be included. I'm going to clean the egr system Monday because if you notice in the video, the rough vibration comes from that area. Fingers crossed. What I'm looking for is some guidance. This car is my late partner car that I inherited so its really just sentimental really. Its in good condition otherwise and well would like to keep it. I still have her sunglasses in the passenger door, so the car holds memories. Good and bad, but memories nonetheless. The big question is if its a head gasket and rear seal issue, am I in engine replacement territory?
