Does anyone know of a source for replacement needles for 95 ES300 instrument cluster?

contact O.L.T. on clublexus.com

Personally, I think the GS looks silly, as do most cars, on 20s without a bodykit of some kind.

My suggestion would be 18's, I think Chuck's OEM GS430 18s look superb on that car, really good! Thats what I'd do right there...

thanks Steve. :)

not spark plugs

the click is the starter solenoid making contact but not enough power to turn the starter

if it turns over after a few clicks then the solenoid needs to be removed and cleaned then change the starter wires and battery grounds

agreed. no need to buy a new starter. it's the solenoid contacts. $15 from toyota for a new kit. this link tells how to do it.

HI

they come 4 and 5 speed

thanks

;) the 98-05 GS is 5sp auto only.

98-00 GS400 has e-shift

01-05 GS300 has e-shift

i would say if you can't find the fuel line on your own you have no business messing with it :P

agreed

Any news on the 2007 GS300????

you mean GS350 ;)

There are no external oiling points on any of the pulleys - the bearings in them are sealed. Put the oil can away.

actually you can remove the tensioner pulley from the tensioner and clean it out and put a drop or two of oil along the edges of the seal. you can also get the bearing pressed out and a new one put in.

here's the backside of pulley/bearing. you can see that the bearing can be presseed out and replaced.

I like the looks of the 18's on your car. Is it stock height ? Also what size tires are you running and what is the offset on your wheels. Thanks

thanks. the car has about a 1 inch drop on Tein CS coilovers.

the wheels are oem 2006 GS430 (18x8 +45) wheels.

the tires are 245/40-18 Pireli Pzero Nero.

it may not be the belt...read post #3

do you want more go or more show? :)

here's my 18s.........

I'll send Matt a PM ;)

so arcade is gone for good, isn't it? :cries:

once you have the starter in your hand, you can replace the solenoid contacts with oem kit for about $15 and the starter will work perfectly again.

Hi ChuckB,

Do you have a mk2 car? Is it not possible for you to manually adjust the level or does it have HID lights with an auto leveller like my mk3 (is it 2006) model? Thanks, Marcus.

I have 2nd gen with oem HID with auto level. there is a reference point the leveler can be set to. one sensor on front and one on rear. the rear is the only one they have to adjust I believe.

Hi,

I am based in the UK but am posting here in the hope that someone will know if the new AFS headlight minimum level can be adjusted up by dealers?

My new car's headlights illuminate for a far shorter distance that the mark 1 or mark 2 GS300's that I had without the HID / AFS etc. This is because when you start the car, they adjust to a setting that is too low. I wonder how they determine what level to set at?

In fact, my new "automatic" GS430 illimination distance is very similiar to the mark 2 manual setting on the lowest level, which should be used when towing something heavy to stop dazzling other drivers.

I have looked for the answer on the UK forum to no avail. Any help appreciated.

Best regards,

Marcus.

yes, it can be adjusted. I had to have the dealer adjust mine after the car was lowered. huge difference.

Hey my 1993 lexus gs300 interior has suffered the nomal fate and is cracking and spliting, I contact a local dealer and they told me it would cost almost $1200.00 to redo everything, there has to be a cheaper way?????

go to club lexus and search leatherseats.com

I'll send Matt a PM ;)

thanks

WHERE'S PACMAN!

please :)

so is the arcade really still coming back or what

how are they fixing it? I thought they usually just replace the long block on something like that?

1996 es300 doesn't have an EGR position sensor. Check hoe much vacuum you have at the EGR valve, engine hot @ 2500 rpms. More than likely the modulator is bad

modulator is what I meant to say. my 95 es has the same cel right now. I'm scared to buy a new egr and then it may be the modulator, as mentioned.

I don't have a vacum tester, any other way to check it.

couldn't it be the egr actuator?

sorry to hear about your incident.

on the bright side, you can use your insurance money to buy a 98+ GS :)

Search EGR valve. Front of the upper intake air chamber, right after the throttlebody.

Go download the 1994 Camry repair manual.

got a link? I checked your Merry x-mas thread and didn't see 94 camry. I could use the egr section and the brakes section.

:whistles:

WHERE'S PACMAN!

please :)

could be your rear end(diff). my 01 GS430 had the rear end replaced via warranty at 23k miles because it made a humming, bass type sound when you let off the gas around 60mph.

if you're not already convinced...

I've just bought a 95 ES300 and lifted quite a few hoods (6) and they ALL had 2004 stamped on them...
