300k service

[woody]

G'day,

I'm just about to put the little girl in for a timing belt change, she's got 298k on the clock and will be telling the mechanic to give here a full service.
What should I expect him to do at a 300k service and what extras should I ask to be done.

thanks
woody

On the presumption that over the last 200 odd thou km you haven't had to do anything major, the 300tdi might benefit from these extras:

New set timing belt tensioner/idler pulleys. ( + Cam & crank seals)
Change out brake/clutch fluid (Although this should come under the heading of normal service)
Change out coolant.(Ditto)
Change out power steer fluid ( Ditto)
New Upper/Lower/bypass/heater hoses.
New Serpentine belt, tensioner assembly (the spring does tend to sag a bit over time and causes 'chirping') , tensioner bearing, AC belt bearings
Clean intercooler ( Norm Service)
Clean injector tips
Renew short hose to turbo waste gate - tends to perish behind the turbo
New exhaust manifold gasket.
Reset valve clearances (Norm service)

If you haven't had a problem with the head before - treat yourself to a new head gasket.

think about a new fan bearing located on the timing cover - I used a grease needle to inject grease into my original and it's still OK at 400k - but others have had theirs replaced earlier.

Pay attention to the hubs/bearings/seals. It may not need new bearings, but they will like being cleaned, re-greased, new seals and being checked for grooves on the hub.

You did ask....:)
