Question 1

What is EGR Valve and Cooler Clogging & Head Gasket Failure on the Lexus Lexus CT 200h?

Accepted Answer

At high mileages, carbon buildup in the EGR system can restrict flow, leading to increased cylinder temperatures and eventually blowing the head gasket. This is the most common major engine failure on high-mileage CT200h cars.

Question 2

What is Rear Brake Disc Corrosion on the Lexus Lexus CT 200h?

Accepted Answer

Due to regenerative braking, the rear discs often don't get "cleaned" by the pads, leading to surface corrosion and pitting that causes MOT failures.

Question 3

What should I check when buying a used Lexus Lexus CT 200h?
