100k Maintenance
My car is slowly approaching the 100k mark and I want to make sure I am all up to date on the maintenance schedule. What exactly are all the things that need replacing around 100k? So far, I’ve replaced radiator (including upper and lower hoses), brake rotors and pads, timing belt, front main seal, fuel filter and air filter. I have also replaced spark plugs and wires but that was a year or two ago. At what mileage or time intervals should the plugs and wires be replaced ? Should I consider replacing the distributor cap and rotor ?
Anything else I’m missing???

air filter

belts if you want to depending on their wear

sounds like they slipping (duh) but yea you could try some belt dressing that should make them grip and hence stop the squeeling

I just replaced belts.... most of the time, you just need to tighten them up. Or you can replace them, when other **** goes wrong. I just had my radiator go out on me. Well, I replaced my radiator, and my belts. Guess what else? You guys hating that plastic top on your radiator?
My new radiator is all metal now

dont forget to change the timing belt when it will be recommended. i'm around 110k km and i blew up mine last week. nothing bad happen, but paying 40$ extra for the towing was pretty useless.

Where did you get your radiator? How much did you pay? Mine is plastic, cracked, and pissing steam. Thanks
