Hi Guys,
I have had my 2005 Toyota Corolla Sportivo for 6 years now and coming up to my 200,000 km major service. I bought the car when it was 111,000km. Currently living in Melbourne at the moment.
I have generally completed the engine oil change (every 8,000km approx) and gear box oil (every 50,000km approx) by myself and thanks to the help of the DIY tutorials in this forum. And car batteries changed as required.
Recently I have had the following serviced by random mechanics;
- Water pump change @ 190,000km approx
- Fan Belt change @ 190,000km approx
- Coolant Flush @180,000km approx
- Brake Fluid Flush @180,000km approx
- Fuel Filter Change @180,000km approx
- Clutch change @ 150,000km approx
- Spark plugs change @120,000km approx
The brakes are still pretty thick on the rotors and I believe my rotors are thick enough also to last a while. However my suspension will probably need an inspection.
Is there anything other than from the above that I need to consider for the 200,000km service???
And are there any good mechanics in Melbourne that know Corolla Sportivos and that won't charge a fortune.
Thanks
