timing belt and maintenance things 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Chris on  Sun May 2 23:27 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi guys,

I will be replacing my timing belt on the weekend.
I was wondering what if anything else I should be replacing in that area at the same time.
There are no aparent leaks in that area yet.

I will also be relacing all the brake pads and flushing the brake fluid.
Again, anything special I should know?

My car doesn't seem to have half the issues you guys talk about on this site on cars with less mieage than mine, I guess that is a climate thing? (e.g. leaking seals) That said my sump has a slight beard, but the bottom is dry and clean, so I am guess that the bolts just need nipping up again.

There is a slight covering of fluid on the rear half of the transmission sump. I am hoping that is just a nipping up thing as I had to do that a couple of time on my 144. It isn't leaving drops on my driveway yet so I am not overly concerned at this stage.

Many thanks,

Chris from down under!
