Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 12, 2007 10:55 am) I need to get a range on either the hours or the dollar amount so I can shop with some knowledge of what is reasonable and what is outlandish. As a woman, some auto personnel will often try to take us to the cleaners, assuming we know nothing about cars, which is why I'm trying to learn before actually shopping for what I need. You assistance has been invaluable. Shello

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 12, 2007 12:32 pm) When I took it in, Lexus said I only had  another 500 miles on the drive belt. They wanted $500 bucks to put a new one on. I wasn't sure I was going to keep the car so I took a pass. Luckily I have another car I can borrow so I can afford to spend some time shopping around for a reliable shop that's not going to steal me blind. The company I called about the used engine recommends that new spark plugs, water pump, thermostat and fan belts be used. They also recommend using the car's existing oil pan to minimize problems. Does all that sound necessary to you? OK, so I guess I lied when I said I had no more questions  Thanks for your help. Shello

I have 1995 ES 300. Runs very well. The cooling fan is always on when you the car is running, because it runs on power steering pump (no electric or engine attachment). It supposes to rotate slowly when the car is idle and as you push the gas paddle, it will go faster. The fan in my car is running fast on idle and will run even faster when I push the gas paddle. It is noisy, no heat problem. What is the problem? I heard there is a solenoid mounted on the steering pump that controls how much hydraulic fluid gets to the fan motor. Or Is there a control valve, and where does it sit? Any help Thanks

Replying to: abuhamdieh (Nov 25, 2007 8:07 pm) It was the solenoid mounted on the steering pump that controls how much hydraulic fluid gets to the fan motor. I replaced the steering pump with the solenoid mounted on it. It solve the problem. The fan now runs normal. I bought the power steering for $230 (Remanuf.) with shipping from the auto parts at 1888-231-5286. The dealers price is in the range of $500. Yes you can buy the solenoide sepratre, but the dealer price is about $200. Maval P/S Pump 1994-1996 Lexus ES300Complete with hydraulic cooling fan solenoid.. FITS (ENGINE/CHASSIS) SKU PRICE QTY 1994-1996 Lexus ES300 W0133-1604107 $208.99
