Tensioner is an easy fix

gs350fan

Owning many old cars it is very good preventive maintenance to replace at high miles. $10 could save a ton of problems down the road. What is that? 3 gals of gas :lol:.
Some are left hand thread (not sure, but be aware).

Local shop wanted to charge me $400 to replace the tensioner pulley, (When facing the engine, it's on the left side) sounds awfully high.

Local shop is trying to rape you, the part on rockauto.com is about $170, plus $50-100 bucks replace seems fair

Tensioner pulley, I found super simple to swap out (no expert). Suggest U grab a new one from rockauto and try it yourself with the help of a quick YouTube video, you will sort it in no time. Alternatively, once you have the pulley, ask your friendly local mechanic their hourly rate and ask them to swap it out.

I tried finding a vid on that specific pulley, but no luck
Does the rad have to come out ya think? I dunno. lol

I have the 2007 gs450h which has the V6. From memory I removed the top radiator hose and access was easy from there on.

id really like to upgrade the audio to Bluetooth capable....https://gromaudio.com/vline/index.html

Anyone in Central Florida up to help?

I have a surprisingly awesome solution using Bluetooth HD receiver(ldac) into the sound system via a cassette tape amplifier. Super sound. No need to plugin the phone anywhere. Pairs automatically and quickly. Unpairs when it should too.

Decided ldac, xptchd, , etc was a better way than form. Cheaper too. Will send in the Bluetooth units details

Update:EarStudio ES100, has eq in an app too

Do you have a link where I can buy the lotion? Preferably the exact one you have as you've already tested it.

Thank you.

Get lexol cleaner and conditioner, its proven. People use lexol conditioner for nice $300+ leather boots, so good enough for a car seat.

I like to use this brand made by crc its called tanner leather cleaner. Ive tried lexol, and found it to greasy for my liking. I use the tanner once a year and its done me good in hot weather.
