My TL is now at 168,000km that is 105,000 miles. Just wondering what needs to be change and replaced

Already done timing belt, water pump and tranny fluid change

 

change the rest of the fluids--brake-ps, new NGK Iridium spark plugs
and read similar threads on the subject~

change cabin air filter too

 

If the 105 service has already been done (timing belt, water pump, etc), I would just do a flush on all the fluids and make sure your mounts are all good and you should be good to go for quite a while.

 

What about a valve adjustment?

 

i have bad mounts, what does that adversely affect?

 

beside the extreme torque being placed on the cv joints as big stuff moves?
and the vacuum assisted mounts cause a vac leak so the car runs funny?

Touring,, what are you doing riding around on bad mounts!! you know better~

valve adjustment is good plan- I should have said that- thanks totaled

 

Did they replace the idler pulley when they did the timing belt? If not, I would do that first. If that goes, it'll be time for a new engine.

Check the invoice from the timing belt service to see if they replaced it.

 

would the idler pulley make a sound when you turn your car off(if it starts to go bad)? i still to this day hear a grinding to a halt sound when i kill my engine.

I didnt watch the vid--
have you ckd the ac tensioner pulley--thats a common failure,,mine made noise at 45 and finally sounded really bad at 80 when it got replaced

 

nope but will now. guess i'll look at list of stuff that got replaced 20k miles or so ago(my big maint that was done) & go from there. thanks..

 

would not expect that pulley to be replaced at service unless you mentioned it
not part of the timing belt job- unrelated bearing

 

damn. so if i were to get that replaced, since i never said anything about it then, would one have to go in to fix it the same way you would if the t-belt job was being done?


side note
that's right VU-Spec

 

Im talking about the ac pulley- its at the very top- behind the alternator

You can place a screwdriver on its base and listen- or a proper mechanics stethascope $5 harbor freight tools, 10 at parts stores, make noise detection easy

easy way into the ac tensioner pulley is thru the right fender panel

 

LOL I know i need my mounts done and valve adjustment
