i hope my jazz lasts that long. do you guys change oil every 5000kms?
every 10k for me but oil filter is changed each time the oil is changed. I personally don't see the sense in changing the oil without changing the oil filter.
just sold my 02 gli to my parents with 170 000 kms. paint was shagged, had a few small dings, interior was still like new, and still drives great. That 170 thousand kays were HARD!!! it was thrashed by me for 9 years, i treated it BAD, and now, its still a great car my mum loves. Hence the reason i only sold it to buy another jazz (09)
nope...no timing belts, like all new cars...all modern cars have timing chains, and the only reason you need to change the timing chain is when it stuffs up. which is never if you frequently service it.
you'd think that...all new cars have timing chains...but hyundai need to be changed at 60,000 and subarus also at 80-100km, also vw too!! crazy right
its someting to consider when getting a car..add $500 -$1400 for that service
thats a good point!! some good advice!
however if buying an 01 is well cheaper then getting an 02 model CRV then i would still get the 01 because 1400$ down the track is future me's problem.
not many modern cars have chains. 99% have timing belts. Belts are generally quieter and smoother so they are the choice these days. Chains are old hat. Love the fact that my jazzes have been chain though.
