There is a 105k Service which includes Timing belt and water pump replacement.


some other things to consider.
- spark plugs
- brake fluid
- coolant
- ATF or MTF
- check rotors and pads
- check engine air filter and cabin air filter

Do you have previous service records?

AT or MT?


You're coming up on a major service interval, usually ~105k, for Timing Belt replacement. Runs at the dealer, say, $900 - $1200.

if you have zero records, i'd start with replacing fluids immediately.

I got my 04 with 52k miles and no real records other than the pre purchase inspection I had done at a shop. Immediately changed out the motor oil, a week later, the brake fluid and the M/T fluid.

I would do it ASAP unless you can procure records.

Transmission fluid ASAP. Search on the transmission 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches - a well deserved routine maintenance item that you should consider doing sooner than later.

If you cannot find the records, then bleed the brakes. Change out as much power steering fluid as you can every time that you change oil (just use a turkey baster and empty the reservoir).

Perhaps a radiator flush.
