xxxavier2k Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Okay I had cooling problems pretty much right after I bought my '93 Windom. Shortly thereafter I developed a steering problem, then my struts when south, then my front end got very noisy and loose. I tried radiator caps, changed my water pump, removed my thermostat, changed hose clamps, got my radiator fixed, but I still had cooling issues. I fixed the struts and the steering problem ( it would wander left and right at will). Then my tranny went. I decided to do a tranny replacement and do some head porting and polishing while I was at it, as well as rebuild my steering rack and replace every lower front end component except the control arm bushings. I realised that the coolant leak was the bypass line beneath the intake manifold so I used silicone as a gasket. Seems to be fixed. Anyways got my car back from the shop but they "forgot" to reconnect my #2 speed sensor so not only did I get overdrive light flashing lssues but the solonoids in my valve body were sticking (rough shifts from 1 to 2) and I got a burst timing belt while driving. Got the belt replaced along with the #2 Tbelt idler but my crankshaft pulley got damaged in the process. I took the solonoids from my old damaged tranny (clutch issues) and exchanged them and the #2 speed sensor and it's shifting much better. Next to do my dog bone mount and crank pulley. Most of this happened within the space of 2 years after buying the car. Why do we love the lexus es300/Windom so much?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Man you have some bad luck , then again if i actually drove mine it would probably need some work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I think that has more to do with the car being 13 years old than being an ES... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
