Esteemed Gentlemen,
I'm about to roll over to 100k on my 02 (993xx) right now. I'm going to send it in to a mechanic I trust to give it some attention (I don't have the space or equipment to do this myself even though I know I could, so please spare me the d*ck wagging)
I changed the heater Ts and hoses when I got it at 88k because they were visibly bad, so with that big item out of the way my plan is:
1. Brakes, front and back (they need it for sure)
2. Inspect rotors
3. Replace engine coolant
4. Replace power steering fluid
5. Heat shield rattle- *Fixed with large worm style hose clamps*
6. Inspect PCV valve + hoses- *replace if needed*
7. Replace transfer case oil
8. Inspect brake fluid- *replace if needed*
9. Lubricate drive shaft + re torque bolts
10. Replace transmission fluid
11. Fuel induction service
The only item I'm unsure of is #10. I hear what I assume is a little transmission slip once in a while, usually when I'm heavy. But if I recall this can get tricky. Am I correct in asking my guy to do and simple drain and fluid change rather than a flush? I vaguely remember the flush potentially causing more problems than it solves. Please advise.
The last dealer service was at 66K, and the guy I bought it off of works at a Lexus dealer, so I trust that its been cared for as best as one can.
Other than that, if you big-brains could look over my list and let me know what you think or if I'm missing anything big I would appreciate it greatly.
I don't need any estimates on cost, I live in a high cost area and I expect that whatever the total ends up being will cause the financial and mechanical geniuses on this board to go into a fit. I'm happy to pay a little too much as long as its good for my baby in the long run.
Thanks again.
Happy Sunday
