I checked with Sewell Lexus. There is no part #87106-30351. When I emailed them for my 2000 GS300, they said that the new part # is 87106-30390 ($136.95 with the ClubLexus discount). Can anybody verify this?

Also, by changing the driver's side servo, will that fix my cold feet in the winter problem? The passenger side blows heat just fine (so I'm guessing/hoping that I won't have to change out my passenger side servos - mode and cooling).

Thank you

well i got those part #'s FROM peter at sewell lexus....if you spoke to reagan i suggest asking for someone else. she seems to have a attitude somedays.

and i was thinking about this while i drove to work and thinking bout my own drivers side servo. since we have a dual climate control wouldnt we have a mode AND a temp servo on the drivers side? i dont recall seeing both in the schematics i looked at but it seems to make sense to me....

Thanks sakataj. Your comments are very helpful. Yes, I did receive the information from Regan via email. Ordered them this morning. I'll call Peter to double check.

Smile Drivers Servo

Hi,
I have a 2000 GS. My climate control started doing all kinds of unwanted things. Hot on one side cold on the other ect. I had both servos replaced. The dash did not have to be removed. Sadly this did not fix it. Finally, I replaced the entire air mixing box. Had to pull the dash ect. Not fun but problem fixed.

yea as we were talking bout in PM's you (and i, i think) seem to share a fairly rare problem. the HVAC box's gears (teeth) are worn out and need to be replaced

My fan will turn on then off when the AC is OFF. When I turn the AC, sometimes the fan turns on and sometimes it does not. Can this problem be related to the servo? Thanks.

no, this sounds more like a blower or blower control issue

Thanks for the quick reply. Today, the fan will turn off after 2 seconds with the ac on or off. Is there a quick check or diy before I take it to the stealership?

I am changing mine this weekend. And also, I do suggest talking to Peter as Brian said. If anyone else needs this part I can get it for cheaper. I cant remember the exact price as I was telling Brian, but all in all its going to run you under $115. Its around that ballpark range... Thanks for the help guys...

Just as the write up says, you reall need to do a ninja move to get to that top screw man... But we got it... Just follow the instructions and it should take no longer than half-hour... Thanks again for the help...
