I just did my 90K Maintenance for my ES330 lexus. I am new to the forum and wanted some feedback from the experts here. My maintenance items are listed below. This maitnenace cost me $1080 at the Toyota dealer.

Water Pump
Timing belt
Cam & Crank seals
Belt, V-ribbed
belt, vane pump
Super Long Life C

1. I wanted to know if there is a serpentine belt for this car or these two drive belts above was all that i needed to change.
2. I told them I didn't want to replace the spark plugs and hose for the water pump if it was ok although they recommended replacing the water pump hose. Can the hose still be replaced with out major labor later? I know spark plugs dont' need replacement till 120K.

You should be okay. I'm guessing you're referring to the radiator hoses. Those are not necessary to replace, unless they're visually bad. The top one goes through the most abuse, because it carries hot water, so it's the only one that might leak.

Spark plugs should be fine until 120k, if you're not experiencing any degradation in engine performance/fuel economy. Just make sure you use Denso or NGK spark plugs when it's time to change them.

Oh and yes, those are the only accessory belts. One spins the alternator and A/C, and the other connects with the power steering.

I would recommend doing a transmission drain and fill, if you haven't already. Other than that, just keep up with the oil and filter changes, and you'll be golden.

Thank you, I don't know what hose they are referring to but they just labeled Hose associated with water pump change. Also they indicated steering linkage leak and worn suspension components for future maintenance. How much will those cost me?
