  1. Water pump/timing belt installed ... 416.59 ... Pep Boys is full of it!
  2. No unusual sounds ... just heat and steam... I felt the price was a bit high myself. Thanks for the info!
  3. I recently hit the 200 K mark on my 95 ES and yesterday the car overheated... It was leaking like the water pump was toast and one of my hoses had steam spewing from it. Well, I had it towed to Pep Boys. They initially quoted me $650 for a new radiator and hose. When I called to check the status this morning, they basically said they weren't equipped to do the work and I need to take it to someone who does "major engine" work. The tech talked about possible cracked head, rebuilt engine, timing belt, etc. I keep up with the maintenance on the car and it's somewhat surprising that it could (possibly) be so serious. Any thoughts, observations, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
  4. 185k... just installed a new Solenoid assembly and had the fuel sytem serviced... drives like a dream.
  5. I think I've heard of that place. I'll definitely be giving you a ring. As for the trip, it was less than 500 miles and the car performed like a champ on the open road. No problems whatsoever. I'm still getting the sensor replaced on the 10th. That blinking light is annoying as hell.
  6. I had the service shop set the tires on my 95 es300 at 32 PSI. It wasn't "cold inflation", so I guess they're actually around 29, which is slightly higher than recommended.
  7. I have to go out of town next week. The trip will be approx 700 miles back and forth. I plan on getting it fixed as soon as I get back. I've already ordered the part and got the estimate ($300 total). The car has approx 187k on it and runs fine with the exception of the flashing O/D light. Would you guys risk it?
  8. Sorry... wrong subject title. My question has to do with body work. How long should it take to remove all the old emblems on my '95 ES300 and replace with new (used) ones? I'm not a handy man, so I want to get an idea of what the labor would be at a body shorp/dealer. Also, what's the estimated time for cleaning my headlight lenses to remove the yellow film?
