90k maintenance?

[phillipjfry]

Hey all, I'm at around 87k, starting to think about maintances coming up.

What do you guys do, or suggest for 90k?

I know I need new rear rotors/pads. Already did the rear diff, and MTF at 82k. Control arms have new bushings already.

Thank you.

It would help if you post the maintenance history. But something obvious to replace would be the cooling system (minus the radiator, they last a little while longer)...

Cooling system

Previous maintenance history is important to give context. But the usual things to consider if they haven't been replaced:
- Spark plugs
- Pulleys and belts
- Cooling system
- Fuel filter
- VCG if it's leaking (and might as well do VANOS seals while you have it open)
- OFHG if it's leaking
- Suspension components
- Many more...

History is unknown when I bought it. Almost zero leaks, except a small coolant leak somewhere.
Other than that runs, and drives great. Zero issues.

I've read the coolant system should be done. Thats not too bad, around 250$. I was thinking spark plugs too.

Good call on the fuel filter. Didnt even think of that.

Vcg is fine, no reason to crack it. Suspension is tight.

Suspension may feel tight because of the car is generally stiffly sprung, but if it's all original components, it'd be worth replacing the shocks/struts and the bushings. My car felt "tight" when I had it at 50k miles and 13 years old, but when I replaced the shocks/struts, they were all dead. They would not rebound.

Not sure if they have been replaced or not. Probably not though. At this time with suspension, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Just had a baby last month, short on time!

So far I'm doing the FCP Euro coolant kit, Mann fuel filter, ngk plugs, rear brake pads, possibly rear rotors.

FYI I wouldn't buy anything but OEM parts when it comes to the cooling system. Yes the expansion tank is a stress point, but its very safe to assume it will last at least 50k or 5 years.

Also if you go with FCP good luck getting parts that aren't shipped broken.
