100,000 km's Service

[geno8r]

Well my car is coming close to 100,000 km's on the ticker meaning I've got a serious service to save up for I'm assuming.

Just wondering what your 'typical' 100,000 km’s service consists of & how much it might cost?

Can the costs be reduced if say I order some of the parts myself. I know I'm going to need a new timing belt, & new exhaust & turbo gasket. I’m sure there’s plenty other parts too.

I’m in Syd ‘Northern Beaches’ too so recommendations to mechanics in Syd would be appreciated. Just along as they don’t cost an arm & a leg. I found my local mechanic around the corner in Newcastle was great, cost f#ck all & did good work. I usually like dealing with the smaller mechanic shops, more personable & cheaper.

Probably look about $1k

Cost me around $1k included:

Timing belt

Water pump

Cam Seals

Brake Pads

Brake machining

All oils/filters (diff gbox etc)

Tune

Pulled starter motor apart and cleaned it (was making horrible noises)

And lots of other small random things, perished lines etc.

Now I did the plugs oil/filters myself and bought a new O2 sensor so this made it slightly cheaper

Hmmm ok

I've already had:

Brake Rotors Machined

ECU Dyno tuned

Starter motor rebuilt *mine was making fuct up noises too hahaa.

Things I'm wanting to get done is:

Re oil everything 'like LSD yeah...

New timing belt 'that goes without saying

New exhuast manifold gasket & bolts '1 Bolt snapped & have a minor minor leak which would be eating away at the gasket.

The rest should just be the typical 100k service business.... Maybe I should just get a GT 3040 & new manifold while all that gear is being removed for the service hah. I wish.

Thats the way I was thinking, and now im selling my car because of it, such a money pit.

I used to spend a bit of money on my car, but since I moved outa home to sydney I simply dont have the money to spend anything on my car anymore it sucks, it's forced discipline really. Most my money goes into bills & big Saturday nights now...
