Es300 Thermostat Replacement

[jbrubaker]

Has anyone done this? I know it is only around $150 at the dealer, but like to do some labor myself.

Model Year 1994.

Any step by step would be helpful.

Thanks!

(I strated this thread here so i could give an update on a different thread in the ES300/ES330 forum)

yeah, me and a friend replaced my thermo on my 96ES last summer..took about 2-3 hours..not a real hard fix though..actually my thermo was stuck..we went to advance auto parts, ordered the part, bought it.(under 40 dollars i think)..then put it in..if you take it to the dealer, your likely to pay almost 100 or more to get it fixed

I'm looking for the thermostat location on a '93. I have diagram, but lose it when I try to trace the location. I got a diagram from the local lexus dealership, but it doesn't help much. Can anyone help??
