Hi all, unfortunately I didn't get a service book with my car although I doubt the info I want is in there anyway, for those of you doing high annual mileage >20K what service intervals are you sticking to?
I see large ranges quoted on here and I'm keen to get the info in one place, from what I see:
Oil and Filter 8k-18k = I expect 10k is a good number for high regular use and quality oil.
Air Filter ?? = I expect every-other oil change so 20K.
Fuel Filter 20k-40K = I expect every 20K and pay for it buy using supermarket fuel.
Cam Belt 40-80K = I expect 60K or max 5 years from last change.
Pollen Filter ?? = I expect 40k or 2 years.
Gearbox oil 40-never = I expect 40k as its cheap and easy and makes a notable difference.
Coolant is done with the water pump / cam-belt change plus when we have to fix the thermostat, so don't worry about that.
Brake fluid, in cars of this age we will need a new caliper or brake hose soon, so just change it then.
*Edit* Oil pump chain and sprockets kit 150-250k = Fall in line with the Cam Belt for best value for money (*Only bother if you are in for the long term or have invested lots of time and money in your car)
Anything else worth changing as a matter of preventative maintenance?
