What is the factory maintenance schedule? What are the intervals for replacing/repairing various engine components? Hoses/gaskets/belts/spark plugs/ filters and such things.

ie: accessory belt needs to be replaced at X miles

Thanks

 

sorry, I hate to be an ***, but this is kinda urgent. Thanks

 

I don't see anything in the owner's manual about replacing the accessory drive belts. I haven't check the service manual.

I did check a recommended maintenance schedule from Rotary Performance in Garland, TX, and they say inspect the belts every 30,000 miles and replace as needed.

If the belts have over 50,000 miles on them, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace them.

Owner's manual says replace spark plugs every 30k, but most owners do it every 15k or so. Hope that gives you what you need.

*EDIT* I take that back....owner's manual says inspect belts at 30k and 60k. Doesn't mention replacement interval.

Manual says replace fuel filter at 60k. I'd never wait that long. I found water in mine at 10k, so I wouldn't let it go more than 20k before replacing. A clogged filter can lead to detonation and blow an engine.

Manual says replace coolant at 60k. Air filter at 30k. (again, I'd do it at about half that mileage.)
Brake fluid flush and refill is every 2 years or 30k miles.

That should cover most of what you need.

 

My manual says 40,00-50,000 km but I think its 30,000 miles but I couldnt tell you the exact number..

 

Thanks for the replies guys, that's the info I was looking for.

 

crunchy, how many miles do you have on your car? What maintanence have you performed yet? What do you know has been done to the car so far? Is it the original motor, or rebuild? If you give more info I can give you better advice on what to do to your car.
