Hi Guys I bought my car RX 2 years ago at mileage 79000 km. currently now to date its at 146000km. as i have never did a major service since then. I was recommended to do a waterpump and fan belt change. although it still looks new. was recommended to get own parts to the workshop
here are the following items i purchased.

Fan Belt
Water Pump
Fan Belt Tensioner
Water Pump Pulley
Coolant
Crankshaft Oil Seal
thermostat
O ring

Is there any other parts that i missed out.I was wondering if i should get the hoses too.

I also noticed that my top right engine mounting has cracked.
so i purchased that piece to changed too.

please give advice

Most important is replacing the timing belt. Since you are replacing the water pump that is a good time to do it.

Hi thanks for your advice, my car doesnt come with timing belt. its is using timing chain

Excellent - Lexus did not introduce the timing chain in the states until the RX350 2007 model year.

Hi Guys I have did the job today for 4 hours, my mechanic told me that actually i do not have to change the pulley as it would never spoil. and my previous belt is still new. but i asked him to change after all i have bought the parts.
I wonder if thats true. anyway after changing i drove back home I felt that my steering become tighter and heavier compared to previous feel. I guess its the new stuff that made the steering harder?
