Gave this car to my daughter in college. I was wondering what else can go out without warning which can be addressed during this Christmas break.
Work done before turning over the car at 100k miles.
1. Timing belt change
2. New Spark plugs
3. Valves adjusted
4. Flushed brake fluid
5. Replaced CV axles
6. Replaced front suspension bushings.
7. New front rotors and pads

Areas of concern:
1. Engine cooling system. how long will radiator, cooling fans and hoses hold up?
2. EGR?
3. O2 sensor?
4. ignition coil?
5. ignition module?
6. Fuel pump?

Thanks for the help guys.

 

im not sure but i think the water pump also should be changed at 100k...this has been covered before...please search next time

 

Coolant is supposed 2 be done at 120,000. You might as well get that done it's not too expensive to have done. You can check the other boots (ball joints, tie rod ends). Other than that they are good cars. My catalytic converter went out on me ($1000 from the dealer..), see if there is a way to have that checked out.

 

Thanks for the responses.
The water pump was not replaced as suggest by the dealer parts guy. I bought all the parts from the dealer and did the work myself. There was no leakage and the water pump was not leaking and the pulley spins smooth with no play. I hope it lasts until the next timing belt change.

As far as coolant change, that was a good one. Do you know why the cat converter failed that soon? I am pretty sure I can get an aftermarket one cheaper.

Thanks.
