Thread: Service requirements @160000k's

2K???

a 160K is a 40K major interval service, all trans oils, service auto trans (If applicable) flush cooling system and brake fluid, change all filters, check EVERYTHING and report/ repair as required.

Basically, for an auto Td5 using genuine oil and fuel filters, and Synthetic engine oil and non specialist fluids and trans oils (IE mineral based and DOT 3/4 brake fluid) you should see about $850 to $900 at the most.

Obviously plus any other items like wiper blades, Belts,globes, brake pads/ discs, hoses etc etc.

I'd be lynched asking 2K for the 160K service

Even with an ACE system flush it'd be about $200 extra incl ACE filter.

(Edit: The D2 dosen't even have serviceable wheel bearings, the D1 160K gets a full wheel brg service and all hub seals replaced, adding about $300 to the bill, but it has no ACE and the oil isn't as expensive and only 1 engine oil filter)

The easiest way and a good method is to remove the bleeder plug in the top of the top radiator hose, run a hose into the reservoir and start engine. Leave running until water runs clear/ clean, and then refit plug and go for a drive/ warm it up until thermostat opens. Come back and allow to cool slightly, then repeat until water runs clean. This method ensures the complete radiator and hoses are flushed as the thermostat is closed to full rad flow when cool.
A bit wasteful on water though We have to drain as much out into a container through the bottom steel coolant line drain plug first to avoid washing too much coolant out onto the ground

Follow fluids link but add auto filter and air suspension filter if it is fitted

if your following a 15K service interval then its a big one as described.

if your following the 10K arduous environment schedule then its only a minor service with the big one having been done at 140K or 150K Km depending on which version of that schedule youve been following.

ID suggest that regardless of what youve been doing service interval wise that a Dealer would do it as a major service. Id hope that would be because theres no harm in overservicing (if you have good mechanics) but in reality it would probabley be because they can mark it up for more cash.

I live in darwin so we can use as much water as we like and with the rain we have been getting there aren't going to be water problems up here
