Wow...you put some serious mileage on in a short time! Must be a lot of highway miles, huh?

Did you have the 100,000 mile tune-up? If not, I'm sure your plugs could use a changing and inspect the belts. Any loose play in them, cracks, squealing, etc. means they should be changed.

Yeah, I am on the rad a bunch.

I didn't have the tune-up. Should I bring it back to the dealer for that?

[Gvac]

NO!!!! Unless you have some sort of extended warranty, I'm assuming you're past what would be covered and the dealer will charge you full price for parts and a MUCH higher labor rate than an independent mechanic.

If you've got a local guy you trust to work on your vehicles, bring it to him.

[Fat_Sunny]

Wow, That's Alot Of Miles In Just 3 Years!

F_S's Prior Was A 1993 Jeep Cherokee That Finally Died In The Philadelphia Airport In 2003 With 248,000 Miles On It!!

It Was A Great Vehicle, and Other Than 4 Sets Of Tires, He Put Very Little Into It.

Keep It Tuned And Especially Do Regular Oil Changes, And You May Get Another Hundred K Out Of Her!

and from a ford.

that is simply amazing!!

[earthbrown]

go to local import shop, if you dont know one, ask some people.


Most important thing, is timing belt or chain, if the manufacturer recommends servicing this at 100k I would.

Change the transmission fluid, in an auto, you will want the "flush" version that replaces the entire 10+ qts in the transmission. On a stick shift, have the fluid changed if serviceable.

If you have not done spark plugs, have them done. (cheap maybe $50 max) if you do it yourself could cost as little as $10.

yeah but not at a family reunion

[Patient zer0]

My ex had a 98 ford explorer with 528,000kms on it. No tune up.

What the fuck are kms's?

Goddam foreigners!!:furious:

Doesn't a kilometer equal like 2 feet?

[sr71blackbird]

Metric is for dummies and Canadians. I had a Camry with 350,000 miles on it when I sold it in 2004. I still see it from time to time. I used synthetic oil, changed it every 3000 miles and used Tufoil. That combo makes an unkillable engine. I also changed tranny fluid every 10,000 miles

[IMSlacker]

Eww.

What seems to be ailing you?

[sr71blackbird]

A kilometer is like a pussy mile

[Devo37]

107,000 miles on my '95 Sentra. planning on many more.

[beachbum]

You should definately replace the timing belt.Most manufacturers reccomend it be done between 60-80 k.

I would also change the fluids in the transmission and the gear box for good measure.

redundant?
