Honda Del sol 93 - maintenance 90,000
Please let me know what items are necessary:
1. replace timing belt, they also want to replace water pump and add new drive belts - do I need to do all 3? (fee 550)
2. Valve clearance - I have heard that you can forget this unless you hear a rattle or rough idle - correct?
3. spark plugs (26). Replace transmission fluid (45) - this seems reasonable to do.
4. brake fluid - I have heard you NEVER need to do this
- correct?
5. "Steering, suspension - is there anything to do?
6. Car shop wants to charge $155 to do spark plugs and "check over car" - I am thinking just get the plugs changed for 26.00 and during a normal oil change they look at the below items -- does this seem reasonable? OR should I have some of these "inspect" items checked?
Honda book says to inspect fuel pipes, hoses & connections, alternator drive belt, cooling system hoses & connections, water pump, exhaust pipe (before and after catalytic converter), steering, suspension.
Thanks
