Hey guys, i don't know if anyone has done 105,000 major service thread, anyway i have a major service coming up very soon, just wondering about the cost and if all my fuel problems will be fixed after i get this major service done, here is a list of things that will be done on the major service.
Ps - timing belt has been doner in last service

LUBRICATION

5. Replace Font and Rear axle oil ( 4WD) (INCL L.S.D)
6. Replace engine oil and filter


Under Hood Operations

1. Check engine coolant level and concentration
2. check valve clearance
3. Check battery electrolyte specific gravity and level
4. Inspect fluid lines and hoses
5. Inspect ignition cables, distributor cap and rotor
6. Check adjustment and condition of external drive belts
7. Replace Fuel filter
8. Inspect air cleaner element
9. Check idle speed - Diesel
10. Check vacuum pump oil hoses
11.platimum plugs

Suspension, Steering, Tyres and Brakes

1. Inspect Tyres and rims for wear, damage and pressure
2. Inspect brake pads and discs for wear
3. Check brake and clutch pedal freeplay.

Road Test

Check operation and/ or performance of the following:

1. Steering and suspension (including shock absorbers).
2. Brakes and clutch (including handbrake)
3. Engine and drivability
4. Vehicle lighting (including instrument panel, interior, and warning lights)
5. Seat belts

prolly arround the $200 mark??
I thought it would be just like a 60k service??

seeing as timing belts already done, it probably wont be much more expensive than a normal service...

dont they do the rear platimum plugs at 105?

3. Replace automatic transmission and fluid (FWD)
4. Replace rear axle -2WD

Dont know how necessary these ones are :shock:

The auto fluid gets changed for the FIRST time in the service schedule at 105,000km. They normally do the "auto flush". From memory this service costs $400+ at mitsu.
And yeah possibly also the platinum plugs....

I got quoted for auto flush is $200.

3. Replace automatic transmission and fluid (FWD)
4. Replace rear axle -2WD


read carefully, somehow they dont seem necessary...

lol haha, in that case you're looking at a couple of G's.

Too bad i didnt see this thread till now.
i took my car in for the 105,000 km service this morning and i pick it up tomorrow
total cost was around $700 thats the timing belt and all the rest.

then to make matters worse i need a new engine mount. no extra labour but the part is
around the $220 mark.

so all up over $900 :cry:

i noticed it earlier, but it is definitly just eriks spelling, lol.

they arent going to replace the rear axle, and auto box, and stuff like that at 105,000 hell they wouldnt do that at 305,000 if it wasnt necessary, and i sure as hell hope it isnt at 105,000.

eriks not having timing belt done so it shouldnt be to expensive...

and dont complain, it cost me 400 bucks today, to have my handbrake redone, fluids topped up and new globe put in the driving/fog light :nuts:

Trade price on an engine mount is about $150 dude, i think they are charging you labour :P.

^^^ Im the same, my car just clocked 100,000ks last night so im going to have to get the big service done soon and i also need a new engine mount which im going to get done at the same time. I was under the impression that the BIG 105,000k service was around the 1k mark from what i have heard from others. But from reading this thread i believe not. Mine shouldn't be too expensive as i've had my timing belt changed during my last service. I still need to get the platinum spark plugs put into the rear though!

ok guys, i've saved $500 foir the major service i just hope that enough

ok guys, i've saved $500 foir the major service i just hope that enough

ask for a qoute first....then when you know exactly how much it is you can start budgeting.....se if you didnt get those neons in you would of had and extra $50:P

']ask for a qoute first....then when you know exactly how much it is you can start budgeting.....se if you didnt get those neons in you would of had and extra $50:P Mitz Dandy = $490 and Mitz Chady =$540 and Mitz Knox =$460 yes i know about the neons, its done now, so no more moding until my service is done

yeh but not everyone can get trade prices mate. 220 is the correct amount for the engine mount WITHOUT labour

I've just done my own 105k service.
Did water pump as well as timing belt while I was there.

Quote from Mitsubishi was $400 (not including water pump).
Thought that wasn't too bad so I enquired further ... oh yeah was the response - plus another $400 for parts.

Probably spent around $500 (retail) on parts and did the labour myself. (Included 2 complete auto flushes as the fluid was pretty yuk.) Transmission fluid from Mitsubishi was cheaper than from SuperCheap.

TJ VR-X says 90km service involves timing belt etc. etc.

$600 got me the whole thing today.

My plugs were fine. Both the front and back were fine. All platinums. Which means the front bank must have been changed with three plantinums by Mitsuu dealer.

All good.

I am trying to see where the Service book says "Change Timing Belt" .. anywhere near 90 or 100,000 Km ????

Edit.. its there, as a small note in bold.. under the Mechancics Stamp box...

yeah it seemed pricey but i paid for it
thats what happens when you know jack about cars.

i'll pay for whatever they say !!!!!!!
im one of the many suckers

i budgeted for 700 approx so it seemed ok. Money grows back every week, it seems
like a never ending supply

i was talking to my mechanic and he said he will do the full 105km service on my awd including all fluids trans diff coolant brake etc.. plugs.. waterpump cam belt for between 750-900 all up including parts and labour.. thats not too bad is it?

yeh but not everyone can get trade prices mate. 220 is the correct amount for the engine mount WITHOUT labour
I was under the impression that all registered mechanics could get trade prices on spare parts?

Why does everyone insist on doing the waterpump at 105? :nuts: :shock:

cos the water pump costs $70 and is easiest to do when the cambelt is being done.... cheaper than doing it seperate by a long way

cos the water pump costs $70 and is easiest to do when the cambelt is being done.... cheaper than doing it seperate by a long way


So, a water pump only lasts for 100K?

My toyota camry 1991 only got its first replacement pump at 320K

70 dollars for an aftermarket waterpump, .8hr or so labour, coolant, etc.. $150 or so extra... all this to remove a perfectly good, not noisy, no leaks, genuine waterpump with only 100k on it.. i think i'd take the risk, considering 3rd gen waterpumps are pretty damn reliable

Turns out the engine mount was only 170 dollars so my g/f told me wrong.

anyway cost me $935 it goes good and thats all i care about

never has a problem between services!!!!!!!!!!

ok i have finally decidied where to get my service done, @ Knox Mitz for $440 for the 105,000km, a few things have been already done @90,000 that would't need to be done @105,000km, apart from the the timing belt.

I was under the impression that all registered mechanics could get trade prices on spare parts?
Yes, but to run a business, you have to do this thing called making a profit.
How you do this is charge more than something costs you. Same with labour.
Parts have to be either stocked or ordered in, and it costs money to get the parts to your workshop, and costs money having teh parts sitting there if you stock them.

The point was, considering you have to make the effort to get the timing belt off, with all it's associated covers, the extra money is worth it. Same with the drive belts, they should be done at the same time.
Otherwise, to replace the pump alone, it would be the same labour cost as changing the belt.....

not really, i'd consider it at 200,000km though

so, you cannot get the pump out, without removing the engine? or lifing it up? like they have to to change timing belt?

Is this actually right? :)

Nope i changed the pump without moving the engine, this is on a mates 2nd Gen :)

i know what you are trying to say mate, but i call things like that " over-servicing ". i mean, if your'e re-sealing an engine sump, would you automatically change the conrod bearings too? it's all off, and easy to get to.. or change 5% worn brake pads if you had to overhaul a leaking caliper? i doubt it!

the engine can stay, the drive belts, one mount, and timing covers will need to be removed for the pump to be replaced! the timing belt has to come out, as it turns the pump!
like most engines running a timing belt, the belt spins the water pumps

i honestly cant belive u brought a car nearing a major service and didnt insist on the dealer servicing it b4 u brought it or worked out a comfortable price for the service prior to buying it:S

I agree with Typhoon.
Having done my own 105000 service ( because I bought the car with an adjustment to price knowing it was up for a major service ) I can see that the majority of the labour to do this service would have to be repeated if I had to replace the water pump at a later time. ( ie. between 105k and 200k ). Since Mitsubishi wanted $400 for labour and $400 for parts, I thought it good insurance not to gamble that the water pump would last for 200k.

Does anyone have any figures on how long the Magna water pumps do last ?
This info would be useful for people to gauge the risk involved in not changing the water pump with the 105k service.

mine was about $750 at a mitsu dealer.

Hey guys, my service is finally booked for this friday @ knox Mitz for 8.30am, wahoo, hopefully whens its all done, i have no problems like my last service on my old tr service, i want one thing fixed with the service when its all done and that is RANGE TO EMTY trip computer, when i was on the phone to them i told them about it, so hopefully they get fix it up, a number of you guys will blast me and and say i'm 2 much of left footed, but is still dosn't add up that i'm only getting 430km for 71l of fuel so hopefully its all good with my service after fiday, its going to cost me $440.

but is still dosn't add up that i'm only getting 430km for 71l of fuel so hopefully its all good with my service after fiday, its going to cost me $440.

These people would disagree.

If you want better fuel consumption, then dont drive so hard.

If you want better fuel consumption, then dont drive so hard. i don't drive my car that hard, its really strange i only get 430km out 71l feul , my avarage fel is 14.5/100l so yeah i dunno whats causing it, i wish i knew.

but is still dosn't add up that i'm only getting 430km for 71l of fuel so hopefully its all good with my service after fiday, its going to cost me $440.

When your fuel light comes on, is that when you take the km reading (430kms)?? because if it is, that does add up.. because the fuel light comes on after you;ve used about 55L (i find) so there is still 16L still in your tank..

If you had got 430kms off 71L (drive until your car dies because there is no fuel in left in it) then id suspect that something isnt right.. (that means you are using 16.5L/100kms and i cant even get mine that high no matter how hard i try)

but 430kms when the fuel light comes on isnt too bad.. my fuel light came on today (56.1L used) and have done 467kms.. 430kms off 55L is about 12.7L/100kms which is totally normal..

i don't drive my car that hard, its really strange i only get 430km out 71l feul , my avarage fel is 14.5/100l so yeah i dunno whats causing it, i wish i knew.
That's pretty bad erik. I'd ask the mechanic to check things like the O2 sensor during the service. Hopefully your economy picks up abit.

Hey guys.. My family's Verada is getting like 15.7l/100km. We live like 5km from Adelaide so it is mainly driven in traffic (not that heavy though). Our street is on a hill (same with our whole suburb, kinda) and it has a 4 speed auto. I don't think its normal that it is using that much. It needs new rear shockys and the brake pads done soon. It has 177,100+ km on the clock so it will be getting a new timing belt around 180,000km (say two months or so). So would it be increasing because it is getting near timing belt replacement or is it because of the way my mum drives? I drive from Marion to Prospect each week, on the way their among congested traffice (5.30ish) I got 13.5l/100km last week and 10.2km/100km on the way back. Of course on the way back I used C/conrtol whenever I could and the roads were practically empty (9.30ish). The journey is nearly 20km each way and I think my fuel consumption is more acceptable.

I don't see why it is soooo high when my mum drives it though?? She doesn't drive it that hard.

We both use A/C non-stop and usually put it on econo mode depending on the temp (well I actually turned A/C off on the way back last week). I reset the trip computer when I drove so it started from scratch, the journey home was not reset and therefore was a continuation of the journey to marion.

What would be causing the influx in fuel consumption if it's not the timing belt??

That's pretty bad erik. I'd ask the mechanic to check things like the O2 sensor during the service. Hopefully your economy picks up abit.

as i said earlier i told the mitz dealer wher i'm getting it serviced, ive got 470km out of my tank once but then when i filled it up again it said the same reading 430km, if really push my car i recoon i could get at least 480kmn before the light comes on.

pf.. i can get sub 400 out of a tank easy:D lol

if i remember rightly (cant be bothered going to check) my average at the moments about 16 litres

Does anyone have any figures on how long the Magna water pumps do last ?
This info would be useful for people to gauge the risk involved in not changing the water pump with the 105k service.

Well, had mine replaced on my 236,000km KE Verada (for the second time in its life) today. Cost me $720 including helicoiling one engine mount.
So once every 100K seems about right.

as i said earlier i told the mitz dealer wher i'm getting it serviced, ive got 470km out of my tank once but then when i filled it up again it said the same reading 430km, if really push my car i recoon i could get at least 480kmn before the light comes on.
Dude 480km's just before the light comes on is alright. It's not BAD, i wouldn't say it's GOOD, but not bad.

i don't drive my car that hard, its really strange i only get 430km out 71l feul , my avarage fel is 14.5/100l so yeah i dunno whats causing it, i wish i knew.

You're lucky!

I wish I could get 430km out of one tank! Cause each time, I barely get 300Kms from one tank!

Dude 480km's just before the light comes on is alright. It's not BAD, i wouldn't say it's GOOD, but not bad.

yeah i guess its not too bad, i just wish the trip computer, would just tell me staight out through, everytime i fill up , i swear my head off:rant: , syaing 430km til emty when you can more than that 400 - 480est, just hope my car will have different reading after the service, on friday, and lets hope no prblems either.

u get between 400 and 480, and your complaining that it says 430 untill empty? :nuts:

you have some weird problems, you'd be one of the very few who complain that the computers relitively accurate......

the range til empty function is crap (in a way its good)

if you're very very very consistant with your driving, it will be pretty much spot on..

but if you are all over the show, then it will be way out..

i drove mine on a long trip (with cruise control the whole way, got 680kms out of 62L or something) and next time i filled up it said, Range To Empty: 710kms.. drove round town for the next whole tank and got 450kms.. so it was only 260kms out.. lol

its all worked out by the average range you travel on your last couple of tanks..

:stoopid:
But it will also adjust to the conditions during the current tank. Ie. it'll start off at 700kms but will go down if you thrash it quicker.

alright just checked average fuel consuption, 20L/100km :D

:stoopid:
But it will also adjust to the conditions during the current tank. Ie. it'll start off at 700kms but will go down if you thrash it quicker.

yeah, it will say Range to Empty : 560kms, you might thrash it then after you drive 2kms it will say 550kms.. it is only a guide to how much you should expect to get.. i dont take any notice of it..

i have mine set on the trip meter showing all the time, occasionally flick it through to see what the averages all are, then when my petrol light comes on, ill put it onto litres used (usually about 55L used) and when it gets to about 65L used, i make sure i fill up ASAP.. highest ive let it get to was 69.2 and the car was cutting out when going round corners..

i always find the litres used function pretty accurate.. if it says 62.3L used, i will usually put about 62.6L in when i fill up.. its not far out..

i reckon the trip computer is wikid though.. gives you a lot of info at the press of a button.. only downside is that there isnt 2 more little LCD screens so you can have your odometer, trip computer and avg. fuel cons. showing all at once..

Yeh i've noticed the fuel used indicator is very accurate, give or take .5, usually within .1- .2. I try not to let it get much above 65L as well.

ROGL i forgot that was there im going to use it from now on.

does it reset everytime you fill up? or do you need to reset all of those functions?

you reset it yourself..

hold in the mode button for 2 seconds and you'll hear beep beep beep.. you need to reset the trip meter, then scroll through to one of the averages (say avg. fuel cons.) and hold the mode button again for 2 seconds..

then everything should be reset..

i know how to do it. just wondering if you had to reset it:D

thanks btw:Dlol

my car is finally going to be serviced 2moorow, ps - the problem with my trip computer - (fuel to empty) I will tell the mechanics @ mitz about it and see what they say , I will ask them to reset the ecu so then I have a complete fresh start since my service, everything in my car is up to strach, apart from a little rattle but that hopefully wouldn’t cause any problems, knowing mitz mechanics they will want me replace a alot of things onces the service is done I will say not now , I just want a professional service done + not wasting $500 - 700 on things i have to replace just because mitz want you 2, I will be dropping it off @ 8ish 2morrow morning @Knox Mitz and I wouldn’t get it back till 3.30pm, hopefully everything’s will be be good once I get my car back 2mmow afternoon, thanks guys for all your support.

ps - went through ms word grammer/spelling 4 -5 times before posting this

Go through it again lol.
Mate if stuff needs replacing, it needs replacing for a reason (i'm talking need, not just them saying lets suck this guy dry). But knox mits aren't like that, well not to me anyway.

spell check aint to good with grammer though:P

Sorry to hijack, and at the risk of sounding like a complete noob... I'll have to do the 90,000km service soon enough... In the service manual it doesn't say anything about a timing belt change, no seperate section or anything. Would I be right to assume there's no timing belt on my car, but rather a timing chain? Or something that doesn't need replacing?

i read the manual earlier it dosn't saying anything about timing belt + you have to ask one one amc members on here that drivers a manual that has done the 90,000km service and ask them if you have to do the timing belt, mines an auto , my timing belt got done @ 90,000km , you should get your timing belt @ 90,000 sorry if this dosn't make sense.

You do have a timing belt in your TJ. Lift your bonnet. To the left of your engine in a black plastic cover. Under that is your timing belt. 4cyl TR/TS have a timing chain that sound crap when they are in need of replacing.

It's not in the standard service items of 90K or 105K cause it should be done at 100K. Most people just get it done when the car is being serviced for convienience.

The engines are identical between the Manual and Auto Eric.

Disciple: Do the timing belt at 90k for peace of mind.

That's weird, cause my gf's Lancer says to change the timing belt in the service manual. Oh well, thanks for the info, I'll definately be getting it changed at 90k.

Mine does, it's got it a little 100k km snippet that says change spark plugs and timing belt. But you would save money if you had it done at 90k or 105k.

Yup, at as many angles as possible, double up if you want. Also want a photo of your average fuel guage to make sure you're not lieing about that as well :P, also at as many angles as possible.

Erik i've sat here for 10 minutes trying to think of something to say......i just can't think of anything. I think if i saw a monkey in a too too going through my gargabe bin, i wouldn't nearly have the expression on my face that i do now...

He didn't......credit card details and all?

we got the photos (a few of all angles) of his service tax invoice.. no credit card details yet though..:doubt:

Credit card details too please if thats not sufficient I will have the card and the pin no pls..

oh noes.. the service tax invoice has been removed.. why?

Erik, give me pictures of all your credit cards and your pin number to your savings card too, this is a stick up!

Ok not really. I should go take pictures of my left indicator to show you all the 3 tiny scratches it has on it. I can take them from several different angles and also give you all doubles if required. :badgrin:
