  1. :) Dear Monarch: The ES 300, 1992 diferential is filled at a side plug at the diferential itself, not at trans. dipstik tube. I do agree on everything else you state. Juan
  2. I'm afraid it may have been :( ← Dear Mattew: Great job! Your car looks beautiful.
  3. I change the transmission fluid every 10,000 miles. In my case I drive my Lexus (one 1992, and a 2004) at city traffic. Two times a year change of trans. fliud will be fine, if the use of your vehicle is not "stop and go". Once a year I take the fluid trans. crank out, instead of draining it. By doing this I will take out more used fluid, clean the trans. filter, magnet (has at least one to prevent metals flowing with the fluid). If the fluid in your car trans. is not like chery color, CHANGE IT as soon as possible. My ES 300, 1992 has 115,800 miles and never had a trans. problem. Check the type of fluid needed. The owners manual or the trans. dip stik will indicate fluid type. My 2004 uses Toyota Type 1V fluid, while my 1992 uses Dextron. The only way to prevent trans. problems is by an agressive preventive maintenance. Hope this helps, juanspagan
  4. If changing the transmision fluid you should use Toyoya Type 1V transmision fluid. Try to take out all the old fluid. If the crank is taken out, clean the filter and the crank. I put an outside transmision filter to prevent metals from flowing.
  5. I will like to purchase a RX 330 2004 Florida area. Any sugestions on price or dealer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Juan
  6. :cries: My ES 300, 1992 (Pioneer) CD Player plays sometimes. When it plays the #2 Cd will not play. The cassette player does not play anything. Will any of you mates will suggest on who to sent it for repair, or what aftermarket CD and cassette player will work with the original control instruments. Thank You
  7. I had the same problem with my ES300, 1992. The casu was the air intake hoose broken. After replacement it is perfect engagement valve?? forgive my n00bness, but i have never heard this term before... ←
  8. The hesitation problem was caused by the air intake hoose broken. Thank You All Check that your EGR valve is not coming on when the engine is cold. ←
  9. Mates: :cries: I am having a problem with my ES 300 1992. When engine is cold the idling has a missfire. Can anyone suggest the cause, please . Thanks, Juan
  10. Does someone has been in touch or has something to say about Paintless Dent Repair. I read an article and sound very interesting. Will a weekener do it yourself may expect acceptable results? Will investment on equipmet paid by itself? I have read of two systems: one works with special glue, the other with steel rods, wich may be the best to try? <_< Thanks for your ideas.
  11. I thank you all. Just bought the "Clear Mask" from 3M. Expensive ($159.70) ;)
  12. I just bought a new car. All of the sudden became aware of stone chips on the front. Can you prevent this? How? :cries:
  13. I thank you all for your information. I look forward to learn by doing. Thanks again, juan
  14. I've been using it for 10 years now. Works perfect, loosens rust, protects rubber and leaves a good clean shine. ← I use WD-40 to dress the engine area (rubber and metal) after washing (degrease and wash). Looks real good and makes the engine area shine like new again.
  15. I have a Dewalt Rotary Polisher and just bought a Porter Cable 7424. Can someone explain the uses for each of these polisher in detailing cars. Do you need them both?
  16. Dear Steviej: Thank tou very much for your answer to my request on Shop Manual. I think you are right. Juan
  17. I will like to buy a Repair Shop Manual for 2004 ES 330.
  18. The accesories are only available in this Special Edition. That is why it is called:"Special Edition". They are not factory options you can sellect. In any event, this top (carriage Top) looks very nice, but maybe not as durable as I will like it to be, Thank you, Juan
  19. Whoa! I didn't think that was even an option. Was that put on by Lexus or someone else aftermarket? If your post didn't indicate that you were from Puerto Rico, I would have definitely guessed that you lived in Florida. Canvas cleaners may work, but be careful about using something too harsh. Some marine cleaners are really strong. I believe that you can find specific cleaners for convertible tops. These should be gentle enough to use on the top without bleeding any color out of the material and should help protect against UV rays (which I imagine are very strong in PR). If you plan on owning the car for a long time than I would definitely look into a car cover. Sunlight is murder on woven plastic fabrics (even Sunbrella types). Over time the UV will fade the color and make ithe top very brittle if not protected. Please post some pictures if you can. I would like to see it. Dear Mates: I thank you all for your advice, in particular to bransew, who dedicated many lines of great information. Excuse my late answer, but due to Jeanne (Tropical Storm) I have been very bussy. Bransew, may I tell you that this is a Specia Edition made by Lexus (not after market). This edition consist of the so called:"carriage top", rear spoiler, chrome weels, and custom stripes. As soon as I can I plan to sent you all a photo.
  20. I just bougth a 330 2004 (Special Edition). It has a carriage top. This top is somethin alike a strong cloth. I will like to know the best way to clean this top
