Just a positive note here for a change. Finished up the 100k oil change and bottom inspection, all is well and surprisingly clean.
Thinking back on my previous sedan, a 2005 vw passat tdi, I had done so many more things by this point that I was beginning to want to get rid of it. Unnecessary things like converting the balance shaft drive from chain to gear driven, a few CV boot replacements, and maintenance things like the timing chain, water pump, etc.. I had to buy several special tools and a repair cd and become a bit of an expert on a few things. I kind of miss it for some reasons, but don't, for more.
This car has been pretty painless, knock of wood, not bearings, lol
So going on 10 years and doing just fine, thank you.
