With my insurance and tax coming to an end next month, it's almost surgery time. The car will be getting the full 200K service with genuine parts.

 

Aside from the usual parts you'd find in the 200K service kit, what else is worth doing while there's access?

Bump

Do you mean 120k? I.e all the pumps etc?

In miles, yes. Belts, tensioner, water pump - all of that stuff.

How far do you want or are you willing to go? What have you already got planned?

So far my shopping list looks like this, but I'm willing to spend another €100-€200 for anything that will be convenient to do at the same time.

Aside from coolant and brake fluid, all of those have been done recently. Spark plugs are worth checking I guess. I was thinking of getting all new brake pads soon, so the fluid can be done with those :)

Won't have the garage space for probably another few months, so I'm looking at what else I can buy. Is it worth replacing the oil pump at 131,000 KM and 17 years? €200 isn't too bad and it looks like access will be reasonable with the other work.

So idler pulley studs, how difficult are they really? It's just one upper and one lower?
