I have a 92 Lexus Es300 with 213500 on it, I just had the head gaskets changed, new water pump, timing belt, thermostat, and the blower motor is working fine. But, I still aren't getting any heat in the car. Any advice would be great. Thank you

Might not be a hot enough thermostat or make sure there is enough vacuum in the vacuum-hoses. The heater controls might not be getting enough vacuum to operate the flaps inside the heater compartment where the heater-core is. Or something wasn't hooked up right when the head-gaskets were done.

Ihave a 99 vw passat 1.8 ,replaced head timing belt,gear,and cover,new water pump,thermostat,and overheats very quickly.it has 2 fans,1 electric the other is driven by beltsand is with fan clutch,clut

First, Ronald is an IDIOT! DO NOT power wash the engine EVER! If the engine is really hot and you spray ice cold water on it can crack the head instantly! Also, everyone knows' water and electricity don't mix! the ignition control module is $300. A little water on that and its gone!
If your car is overheating, you may need a water pump! The one you got, may have been bad! The rule is, as soon as a car overheats, the thermostat MUST be changed! A simple test would be to remove the thermostat and close it back up! A few dollars for the gasket is all you will spend! Try and run the car without it and see if it still gets hot! If it still gets hot, check the water in the radiator or resivor to see if the water is also hot. If its hot then the water pump is working and you need to check the fans! You can run a power wire to the fan to make sure they are working. There are relays for those also! If they are not turning on, that is most likely your problem! I rebuild VW's for a living!

How much should it cost to replace the timing belt and water pump on a lexus es 2001

My car is a 2001 Lexus ES300 and has 106K miles. I brought it to my mechanic to replace Thermostat, Thermostat Gasket, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Camseals Kit, Crankseal, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Timing Component and Spark Plugs for a total of $981.24 ($510 of it is labor). He charges at least 1/2 of a dealer so expect to pay more elsewhere. The care drives like a brand new car and I will keep driving it for another 10 years!!!

I have a mitsubishi space wagon (not galant but the space wagon didnt come up as an option)1997cc, 1993 automatic petrol. It has had a new radiator, new thermostat and new head gasket fitted but is still...

It sounds like the water pump belt under the timing belt is broken or the pump is not circulating the anti freeze the way it is supposed to.Did you replace the water pump, water pump belt, and timing belt when you replaced the head gasket? If a vehicle is over 100,000 miles it is recommended to replace the water pump while doing the timing belt just because the pump is such a pain to get to under the timing belt.

Amount of time expected to do a head gasket, water pump on a 97 olds achieva 2.2?

I'd expect to pay anywhere from 8-12 hours of labor. A head gasket is a tremendously time-consuming job and takes a lot of work. You'll also be paying for other parts (intake and exhaust manifold gaskets have to be replaced, new coolant, new oil since both are drained before the job starts), and if you're doing a water pump, bite the bullet and do the timing belt, timing belt tensioner, accessory belt(s), and thermostat as well - those are normally done with the water pump and there's no sense in paying the labor twice.
