Have I been ripped off? (100k Service)

[BOoStEr]

I replaced my timing belt only when I bought my car (70,000km) because you can't be sure the odometer is genuine. I didn't do seals, bearing or waterpump because of the extra cost of parts plus they appeared O.K. I only did the belt because it destroys the engine if it breaks. However, if I had to pay to have the belt done I would do the seals, bearings and waterpump at the same time because it is only a little more labour than the belt alone. It's all a part of the same job really.

I think that OK.....just the blet & water pump cost around USD500....

Hi 2fardown,

I had roughly the same done to mine and cost me about $900.

I figure if you love your car and want it to be in mint condition, then don't scrimp on the $$ when it comes to maintenance.

Alot of people on the forum can gather enough $ for performance parts, why not do the same for maintenance..

Once again, thats my 2 cents worth...
