#350 of 399 Wiper Problem by neeedvan Dec 21, 2008 (10:06 am)
My 06 Sienna LE has a peculiar driver side wiper problem. Somehow the driver side arm stopped rotating while passenger side arm continuing it's normal course and then moving over the stopped driver side arm and get stuck. I did untangle them and found that the nut securing the driver side arm was loose. I tighten it up as much as I could but again after about 100 miles of driving under rain the problem recurred. Again I tightened the nut and after 100 miles it was loose. Any one know what needs to be done? TIA. Replies to this message: avery1 (Dec 21, 2008 11:08 am) ateixeira (Dec 23, 2008 8:43 am)

Replying to: neeedvan (Dec 21, 2008 10:06 am) Can't speak to this particular wiper problem but if the problem can be solved with keeping the nut tight then just get some of the liquid that does this at the hardware store. I've forgotten the name. Just be sure to get light or medium strength. They have different products and some would make it damn near impossible to loosen.

#354 of 399 2002 Toyota Sienna - Need Advice by SeaTacMan Jan 14, 2009 (1:32 pm)
I have a 2002 Sienna LE with 72,000 miles on it. I bough it used with 56,000 miles.   The vehicle runs good but, I was thinking about getting a Transmission Fluid change and Timing belt work done. The quotes here run at $650+Tax for Timing belt and $80+Tax for Transmission fluid change. Transmission fluid flush costs $165+Tax.   I see than some of you have mentioned Timing Belt can wait until 90,000 Miles. What do you say about 2002 model. Its 7 years old. And also can you advice if Transmission fluid drain and fill is sufficient or should I get a Transmission flush done.   I don't have much knowledge on these. Any advices welcome.   TIA Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 15, 2009 9:11 am) SeaTacMan (Jan 16, 2009 4:45 pm) jproc (Jan 17, 2009 7:01 am) SeaTacMan (Jan 22, 2009 9:10 pm)

Replying to: SeaTacMan (Jan 14, 2009 1:32 pm) What does the owner's manual say?   Also, what does it say about age? The van is 7 years old. So if they say 7 years or 90k miles, you're still due.

Replying to: jjoseph2 (Dec 25, 2008 3:30 pm) I have an 00 and did the timing belt about 2.5 years ago at 90k.I think I paid about $300 for it though.There is a place here on edmunds about maintenance which will give you an idea what it should cost

Replying to: SeaTacMan (Jan 14, 2009 1:32 pm) The repair shops say - that the water pump needs to be replaced when they do the timing belt. They say, if the water pump breaks down later, it would be a pain as they have to redo a lot and labor costs would be high. Any ideas?

Replying to: SeaTacMan (Jan 16, 2009 4:45 pm) Like I said mine was done 2+ years ago and they did the water pump as well.My memory still says about 300.I checked the edmunds maintenance site and they said it should cost you about $220 to have the timing belt changed.I really don't know what a water pump goes for. Mine was done at a Toyota dealership which was running a special at the time-still I think 600 sounds way too much.Try Pep boys see what they would charge you for a water pump
#359 of 399 Taillights and Brakelights, and Headlights, Oh my by MaryTN Jan 17, 2009 (9:35 am)
My 2005 Sienna has a burnt-out bulb almost monthly! It's usually a different one but we've had some repeats. Has anyone else had frequent taillight, brakelight, and headlight outages? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Feb 02, 2009 1:48 pm)
