100,000 mile service
 

My 2003 STI is currently pushing 98,000 miles so just shy of hitting 100,000, it has 15 stamps in the book so the plan is give it a monster service for peace of mind & do it on a round number that puts a solid invoice in the service history.

It had an oil & filter change @ 97,000 & currently what I've come up with is:

• Cambelt, Pulleys & Water Pump
• Spark Plugs
• Air Filter
• Fuel Filter
• Engine Oil & Filter
• Gearbox Oil
• Front & Rear Diff Oil
• Braided Lines & Brakes Bled
• Clutch bled (maybe a braided line too so it doesn't feel left out)
• Coolant Flush
• Power Steering Fluid
• Probably throw in a compression test for good measure (just because)

Anything else I should be looking at, valve clearances maybe? The car is stock apart from PPP & a Forge BOV.

Is there a recommended place to have the service done in Hampshire or the surrounding county's?

Cheers :thumb:

a health check on a dyno would be a good idea along with waxoyl underneath. Perhaps change out the old rubber hoses for some nice new ones

That's coming after the service when it's tip top :norty:


Done that already, poor mans mods come off the shelf at halfrauds :lol1:





As in coolant hoses? I guess swapping out perishables every 100k doesn't sound like a bad deal.


Cheers

PCV and breather hoses? They can get gunked out over time.
Clean out intercooler, clean MAF and boost control solenoid.

Is that replace the PCV assembly & clean out the hoses?

She's getting an IAG air oil separator for Christmas & I was thinking about replacing the PCV valve then (I believe it comes with it's own hoses).

Sensor cleaning added to the list, thanks :)

Then just a good check over of bushes and gaskets while it's in bits. In particular make sure the rocker cover and cam oil seals are ok as it'd be a good time to do it while you've got the belts off.

Nice! Thanks for that more good one's for the list :luvlove:



I notice no one has mentioned valve clearances? :wonder:

never heard of them needing doing on a subaru.

what about wipers and tyre pressures aswell and a good wax on the paint work to protect it during the winter

IACV - clean and replace gaskets.

Good point.

That's them off the list then :cool:

Are you psychic? :luvlove: It's just had new wipers...



I'd also just had multiple rounds of polish, just needs a couple of washes to remove all traces of polish before it gets waxed...







This too, cheers :thumb:​​​​​​​

lol great minds think alike,only other thing i could suggest is to let out the air from the tyres and refill with nitrogen

ah good shout, i replaced my pollen filter earlier this year and it was black and musty

how about a compression test and a leak-down test for peace of mind and maybe fit an oil catch can

Ta-daaaa :top:
