Default What's the recommended 60-70k mile service?

What things need to be changed/inspected in this range?

I'm installing a new t-belt kit and it would be helpful to know if there is anything else that needs to be changed while the car is apart.

How often do you all change the filters and plugs and the like?

Default Also, has anyone had any problems with aftermarket water pumps?

I've seem to found a lot of cases where people have replaced a functional, but old water pump only to have the new unit failure a month or two later. Is this happening with aftermarket or OE pumps?

What's the verdict on the pump in PureMS's kit?

Check your cv boots for tears, and check diffs for leaks.

Default What I did...

-I did the air/pollen filters (it had been a while - one was black!)

- spark plugs
- brake fluid flush
- also had to do both rear wheel bearings (depends i guess, lots of my friends have had them go between these miles)

- fuel filter

i guess it all kinda depends on what you've stayed current with. good luck - i just had a good indy shop do it.

Default Not sure, I am out of warrenty (original owner) I have one that just split and one that is cracked

but not split yet. I would imagine that cpo would cover, but call your dealer.

Why do so many people replace the t-belt around 60k, it isn't recommended until around 80k?
