Hi Leonardo. I didn't have to change or rebuild the U-tube. It was in good condition. I ended up opening the boiler and redoing everything. I used typical fiber/paper gaskets on the sealing surface of the U-tube inside the boiler. I happened to have a couple of perfectly fitting copper crush washers, so decided to throw them on outside the boiler between the nut and the boiler endplate. Everything was working perfectly. I have a good number of videos during the restore, but just haven't taken time to edit and upload. Do you have a Brugnetti Lever or other vintage lever espresso machine?

​@@Roger__WayneHi Roger, thanks for your details!!. I have a few home lever machines and a Brugnetti that now I'm restoring. Mine came with U-tube stripped out and a non working heating element that already repair. The water was filling into the group directly the water line, guess I will be building a custom U-tube. So you still use it o ended to be too much for home use for you. Thanks!

​@@yacomontiI use it in the winter time usually. It does use more energy for sure, but it's great to fire up and use the spring lever and powerful steaming capabilities! It might be possible to make a u-tube. Search for Lapera Espresso machine blog. He made his own U-tubes early on in the development gf his Brugnetti clone. Good luck!

Thanks for the visit

No. There are brass or stainless steel ones on various websites for espresso machine, La Pavoni parts. Good luck.

I'm not so sure the o-rings that are flat sided were originally that way. I assume they were round, but got the square shape over many years. In the video I mention one is squared off and the other was still round.

Thanks Nathan! I'm still enjoying my CT. Only about 60,000 miles on my 2011. Reading info on people having head gasket problems on some years, so might try to do some preventive maintenance to try and minimize the chance of a problem down the road. Hope to get some more videos done.

Hi Zack. Look for "dash - 10" O-rings at your hardware store. If you want Viton might be more difficult to find. Send me an email to RogerWR gmail. I might be able to help.

I just checked for a part number on the back of mine. It has a part number of PT208-76112. I noted on other recent items they have supersession part numbers. Like this one would be PT20876112. I just saw on Ebay something for sale with part number PT208-76111-25. It looks like it might be generally the same. But don't see it completely. www.ebay.com/p/14018610057 Check it out! :)

Thx for this famous Good news...but the seller in your link, dont ship to germany

By the way, 76112 is for no subwoofer, 76111-25 for Cars whit subwoofer...my ct is whit

@@matthiaswolf2116 Good info about the part number for models with subwoofers. Hopefully you can find what you need. Good luck. 👍

It will fit pretty easily when the seats are folded down. I've hauled mine a few times that way. I mounted a Curt hitch receiver on my CT200h and have a bike rack that can be mounted on that, but never actually used it yet! 😅 I love that the seat backs fold flat when down. I've slept back there a few times with a camping pad. I place a box level to the surface behind the passenger seat to extend. A bit tight, but positioned at an angle will work depending on one's height.

Brilliant. Thanks for the reply....I quite like the Honda jazz too...just for their system for lifting the rear seats and creating space. Bike could go through rear door nicely but a lexus is a bit more executive and special....we'll see how the prices go

Thank you! Glad it helped.

Yes I can still get about 45-46 mpg but this is only on the highways on long trips and using gentle driving on relatively flat highways. In town I'm sure I get about 37- 38 also. I've had the CT for more than 11 years and haven't spent one extra $, for anything other than oil changes and filters. Has been a great car. Also if you watch in the video it indicated 48, but actual was 46mpg.

Wish I could help, but really not sure what is happening with your device. No easy way to reproduce what is going on with it. Possibly transfer all the songs off that device, reformat it and restore the songs like they were before.

@@Roger__Wayne Finally figured it out thanks anyway..

Haven't looked into this type of electrical/electronic component repair. Good luck.

You're welcome!

Thanks!

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Reno. Do you mean change the turn signal bulb at the front of the car? Next to the headlamps?

@@Roger__Wayne yes that's right change the turn signal at the front of car, please.

@@KhmerFrance Sorry I didn't get to this video yet. Plan on trying to do some more videos soon. Hope you got your front one done.

Cup holder is fine I agree. It's the rattling that was troublesome when I first got this car 9 years ago. I put some black closed cell foam in the bottom and perfectly happy ever since. :)

Hi Dave. Yes can be cleared via initialization. That is like completely resetting the audio/phone system.

Hmm.. My USA model doesn't have Japanese for an option. I saw for the Language on the Multi-information display, it can be changed. I don't even have that option my CT though. Check out the owners manual for your location and year. Good luck. :)

Thank you for watching. Please subscribe if you haven't and a thumbs up is always helpful. Thanks

RogersCT200h Of course !

It's cool the Auris has this hill start assist too. Not used often for me, but when needed it's great!

Did you ever get the hill start assist to work?

Enjoying your CT? I still love mine and not a single problem in 9 years. Well, the center console box door latch sticks a little. :) They did say they would fix it years ago, but didn't get it in to a Lexus dealer yet. Too late I think! ;)

Push the left side of the tray to the right toward the passenger door as you are lifting up. Give it a little pop with your left hand maybe while lifting with your right hand.

Yup it sure does for a small length of time. Listen to my words and look at where my hands and tools are before, during after doing something. Hopefully you could get the idea. :)

Mine will do over 100mph.

MPG? Tried in sport mode?? :p

Lucky person, its now 2024 and im looking at a used model from 2018 onwards. Superb cars.

Fuad Goni I use some suction hanger tool hold on to the side and pull out. Very easy

Sorry jiggle probably was the wrong word. :) Also need to use quite a bit of pulling strength as you are jiggling. Added some comments in the info section. Hope you got your light assembly pulled out!

@@Roger__Wayne Thank you. it works!!!!

What would you like to see a video on?

@@Roger__Wayne AC Blower Motor Replacement

Happy I could help!

Hi Josh. Just saw some of these comments. I still have my CT! Can't say I've had one real problem with it yet! I guess the only thing I remember is the small arm rest hinged cover latch sticks. They actually had a service bulletin for that and I believe they were fixing them for free. As to the Sirius antenna I didn't use mine, so haven't investigated it much. I might look at that more if I have a chance.. Thanks..

Sorry, this is such an old video. It's in the Text section below the video. CR1632

You are welcome. :)

Agree the cup holder is fine, but needs some foam or something inside for sure. I've got closed cell foam in the bottom of mine.

It's been an awesome trouble free car. Did you ever get one? :)

Thanks Joe!

After 9 years I still don't have to many squeaks. Usually for me I get some rattling from the Electronics Device holder. I don't even use it much, so should remove it. :)

Happy this video helped you Joseph!
