Lexus Is220 - Still the dodgy head gasket issues in 08 model ?

gutteruu · 2018-04-12 19:55:29

I remember looking at 06/07 lexus IS220's a few years ago and a lot of people said here they were prone to head gaskets blowing. Is this still the case for 2008 model? 2.2 diesels.

The 08 would be the same as the 05. They revised them in the IS200d which is essentially a detuned 220d. These are very rare and didn’t come till much later.
