Replying to: 4toys (Aug 20, 2006 3:58 pm) I was browsing some of the covers last night - the ones you sew on look pretty good although it's hard to tell just from the net pics. A repair kit is worth a shot before spending a grand. Replies to this message: 4toys (Sep 19, 2006 10:28 am) steve_ (Sep 19, 2006 11:17 am)

Replying to: hprjr (Aug 19, 2006 1:41 pm) Hi hprjr,   I just had a 90K service performed on my 2000 LC. You can expect to pay around $1,000 with the timing belt replacement. However, if it needs a water pump and/or other work...add some more $$.   I tend to do most of my own intermediate work and have the dealer/mechanics do the 15K/30K interval services. The 90K seems to be pretty important because of the timing belt.   Scott Replies to this message: hprjr (Aug 22, 2006 9:59 am) steve_ (Aug 22, 2006 10:09 am) scottnrose (Aug 24, 2006 9:04 am) hprjr (Aug 24, 2006 2:25 pm)
#16 of 203 2000 LC Rear Power Windows by scottnrose Aug 22, 2006 (7:12 am)
Recently the back door power windows on my '00 LC go up extremely slow. I have lubricated the rubber tracks and it does not seem to help. The front windows move up and down smoothly and quickly. The rear windows move down smoothly and quickly but up is very slow and, at times, they even stop and require manual assistance. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Scott

Replying to: scottnrose (Aug 22, 2006 7:03 am) Scott, thanks for your reply-seems $800 is the avg. on what I've been quoted-4 out the 4 dealerships I contacted initially gave my a price of a 30k service (approx $400)-only when I told them I needed the recommended timing belt replacement did they add another $390-also some included spark plugs and some did not. Lexus dealersips want an average of 1200 for the exact same service for the LX470. Gotta love those profit margins!

Replying to: hprjr (Aug 22, 2006 9:59 am) The Edmunds Maintenance Guide estimates around $300 for the 90,000 mile service on an '01 TLC with the 4.7L 8 cylinder 4A engine for my zip code. The 30k service is about the same price.   I don't see a timing belt replacement recommendation for the '01 for any mileage; if someone has the manual handy who can quote the recommendation, I'll pass it along so the guide can be updated. Thanks.

Replying to: hprjr (Aug 22, 2006 9:59 am) You're pricing is about the same as I discovered as a base (my local dealer's 90K service was $416). However, according to my '00 manual, timing belt replacement is required. I am not sure why Edmunds wouldn't list this... Furthermore, while they have dismantled the front of the engine, I am going to have them repair anything else that they find because I don't want to do this again later. Therefore, they replaced the serpentine belt and the water pump. Plus add in the shop misc costs and taxes...   BTW, Lexus service around here is $95/hour; Toyota service is $65/hour. How do you think the Lexus shop pays for all the "free" food & drink and the leather chairs in the waiting room? Replies to this message: hprjr (Aug 24, 2006 2:25 pm)

Replying to: scottnrose (Aug 24, 2006 9:04 am) Thanks again for your reply-I'll ask them to check the water pump and serpentine belt (which I usually replace every time it starts the cold squealing syndrome) since I plan on keeping her for another 90k. Have you ever had the valves adjusted?

Replying to: steve_ (Aug 20, 2006 4:05 pm) I used the leather repair kit on the steering wheel and it worked great. You can not tell that a repair was made. I think I saved $1000. Thanks for the suggestion. Replies to this message: steve_ (Sep 19, 2006 11:17 am)

Replying to: 4toys (Sep 19, 2006 10:28 am) That's fun - I don't suppose you took any before and after photos you can post on your CarSpace page.
