100,000km Service on Euro

[SRVTIR]

Guys/Gurlz,

Im up for a 100k service and i wana know what I should be looking into getting repaired, checked or whatever...

Has anybody taken there Euro to a Honda repairer for a 100kms service?? how much would i be up for??

Thanks guys :)

EUR07K:wave:

since the euro uses driving chain instead of belt.. so timing belt one is out...
but i think the best way to look is your log book... and i can assume it won't be a cheap service as well..

WHAT!?

im pretty sure it has a belt.... :confused:

anyone else comment?

I thought it was a belt not chain.

it's chain, like all k-series :wave:

the only 'big' thing about the service is the change of the platinum spark plugs which are pricey in comparison compared to standard plugs.

most dealers/workshops would do the plugs, oil + filter, ATF and i guess depending on the cars history u might be up for brake pads or tyres

sweet guys thanks...

im not really worried about the price.. just trying to get an idea at what im looking at. I know hondas do run on a chain so im guessin that timing business is out... u reckon its hard to change the sparkies myself?

had my 100K serviced done a month 2month ago, changed oil, filter, fuel filter and sparkies forgot what else, but all together cost me about $500. today im getting it serviced again for 105000K service

[panda[cRx]]

why did they do the fuel filter? it wasnt done at 80K?


u reckon its hard to change the sparkies myself?

it's not hard, but it's not like an old B or D series, u have to remove covers etc

Sorry to hijack this thread, but would you guys recommend taking it back to the Honda dealer for servicing?

you will have a better resale value by have log books signed by dealers...:D

Not by much. Maybe $500. LOL. But it does make the car easier to sell to a normal member of the public. Car enthusiasts don't really care about log books as long as it has been serviced regularly.

The K Series have a Chain and a Belt.

The Chain is inside the engine which runs the CAM's and Crank.
The Belt is what you can see on the drivers side of the engine, and runs accessories such as A/C and Power Steering.

The crank runs the chain and hence the valves. :) The crank runs off the combustion cycles.

what good aftermarket sparkies are good for the euro?
car is stock

The stock sparkies are either NGK or Denso Iridiums, which are pretty much almost the best you can get. They last 100,000-120,000km.

If you want higher than that, there is the narrow electrode iridium, which lasts 40-60,000km or the 4-pronged ones.

I paid $245 for my 100k service at Hanny's Performance.:)

[aaronng]

^^ Did they change your spark plugs too?

[minircc]

yeah, i prefer DIY because you never know what parts they use, especially if you don't go back to honda.

[SRVTIR]

yeh tru.. im not sure what to do.. i think its best if i just book it in for the timing chain and anything major... sparkies and oill ill jus do myself..
