Hello. The DPF is a Catalytic Converter for diesel engines. Traditional Catalytic Convertors are used in Gas Engines. The dealer gave you a "Dealer Specific" engine code. If you used a regular code reader you would see code P2002, which means. Error Code P2002 is defined as Diesel Particulate Filter Efficiency below Threshold Bank 1, which refers to an issue in the efficiency of the particulate filter in the exhaust, which is most likely caused by faulty filter or sensor, or exhaust leak.
The garage is trying to provide you with a quick estimate. The Dealer follows test procedures that Toyota makes available to their technicians. There is a lot going on here and there may be more to come. Depending on mileage, on-time maintenance, condition of fuel system (fuel pressure or injector failure) and engine (blow-by and compression). Your Particulate filter may be fine (electrical component failure), may have wore out or was plugged up due to an engine issue (Fuel injector/s or oil consumption). I hope this helps. Please write back if you have more questions.
Why do the brakes on my lexus is220 keep siezing?
You can not expect someone to guess at that for you
Have to take things apart & do the required brake service
once a year & continue on & check for abs system codes
& the braking issues
I know I would park it & not use it until resolved
Heater blowing cold air
Check the coolant level. Also check for leaks. Good level and no leaks. Replace the water pump.
IS 200 wont start, no dash lights, no radio,
You should have power to the dash if the key switch is working. The main fuse would kill everything in the car. Depending on how it happened, I would check the fuses and then check for voltage at the key switch.
I got a lexus is 200 03 plate when I press brakes
One possible cause of vibrations in a car's wheel is an uneven tightening of the rotors. In that case, you should get yourself to a mechanic who knows how to tighten in a star pattern. This is an elementary concept that any mechanic worth his or her salt should know. Most will also have a torque stick to measure the tightness of the seal. Keep in mind that every car has its own standard torque specifications, which are generally printed on the rotor itself.
More often, a steering wheel that shakes when braking is caused by warped rotors, which your mechanic may be able to diagnose with a simple test -- that is, by spinning the rotors by hand to feel for imperfections. A rotor in good working order should move freely and make a complete revolution without any bumps or signs of resistance areas. If you or your mechanic does notice these issues, you've probably got yourself a rotor problem.
In all honesty either have a mechanic look at your brakes and possibly get your rotors and brake pads replaced.
Goodluck,
