approaching 150K kms, preventative maintenance recommendations/thoughts/comments

[petrified.rabbit]

Since you are doing it, that list looks pretty good to me, i would add the thermostat, unless i missed it. I would also do the tensioners with the timing belt.

You can buy a kit that has all the replacement parts from Rock Auto. This is a lot cheaper than what I got at my local store: More Information for DAYCO 95335K1S

It is suggested that all the moving parts are replaced as the BELT is only one part of the three that fails.

Rabbit, I was reading my thread and its not both codes that returned, I said that in error, only the p0455 is there and has been for years - if i clear it it just reappears after ten seconds.. do you agree that a smoke test would be the next step?
I dont have your adapter brackets installed yet but thats next up to be done with the coilovers and one ball joint that needs replacing. I am finally ready to afford ordering everything .. I think Im gonna end this thread and start a new one seeing that after this its not maintenance anymore.. and start taking pictures too
