Well, the car is booked in on Wednesday for the big timing belt change...... what i want to know is what else i should get done at the same time..... i heard someone mention previously that all sparkplugs as well?

thanks guys.

AFAIK, the timing belt change is normally doe as part of the normal 100k service.

Get them to report on the condition of the belt tensioner pulleys if they are noisy when spun in the hand don't hesitate to get them replaced, even though you don't hear them whine or anything, doesent mean they are ok, if they seize you are in big trouble plus getting them replaced when the belt is done saves labour costs, also i recomend getting the ancillary belts changed.

yes, i know that...... what im asking is, should i be doing anything else as well. ie to save on labour costs.

If its 100K do the plugs aswell.

But I thought that given the 15k service intervals the belt was supposed to be at 90k, and the plugs at 105k :)

so, all sparkplugs, all belts and check the tensioner pulleys......

anything else?

If you're keeping your car for a while longer, get your waterpump swapped too. Parts cost alone isn't much and most of the waterpump labour is in getting the timing belt off & on again.

Platinum rear plugs need changing every 100-thou but that job is "independent" of the timing belt & waterpump. Don't necessarily have to move the fuel intake assembly (which blocks the rear plugs) to do the belt job.

Yeah, agree with Magnette. Get your water pump done at the same time. Its in that area and they are known for playing up sometimes and last thing you want is to have to pull the belt off agin to replace the pump.

Mal changed the water pump on mine at the same time as belt. For memory, the pump was only like $130 or something like that. Worth it for peace of mind.
