03 6spd mainenance question

Hey all.. I just hit 105,000 and I'M wondering if I should go ahead and follow the maintenance guide. It says to change timing belt and replace spark plugs. What would you guys do. I heard timing belts can cost a bit. Also, if anyone has done these two near San Francisco and recommend a shop, let me know

Thanks in advance!

yes. its not the belt but the labor. also depends on how far you take the 105k service.

For me, I changed everything.

Yep, there have been a lot of guys that have gotten away with waiting, but I wouldn't do it. Why take a chance? The risk is not worth the reward IMO.
