pixel8r Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Mine was done recently. * New plugs * flushed coolant * oil change * new oil filter * new air filter * new drive belts (i felt like getting them to do this because I wasn't sure what the original ones were like and its often a pain of a job). all the usual checks (brakes, tires, "vehicle safety check" etc etc blah blah) for what its worth... and thats about it... Anything I missed? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/291125-m35-100000-km-service/#findComment-4868505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that. The sticker on the inside of my bonnet that was put on for compliance states that it needs a timing belt change at 100,000kms....

zei20l Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 no oil will require a timing chain change assuming your engine is looked after - and properly lubricated - it should never need replacing!

scotty nm35 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I did read some were that they do the turbo as well at 100,000 hope not as my new stagea has just arrived and its got 100,354 is this true about the turbo ? anyone know The small turbo is worked fairly hard in these cars, high shaft speeds cause it to wear out at around that amount of K's, especially if the oil changes aren't done regularly. It is probably why they are all getting sold around that time. I would say to anyone buying a M35 to budget for a replacement but some are still going strong with higher k's.

scotty nm35 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 so wot would be the best turbo to go for You cant fit much else in there, unless you get a custom manifold made up, that is an engine out job. So far the guys that have upgraded have used the factory housings and machined them to suit larger internals. There are quite a few turbo places around that cater for that, do a search for m35 turbo upgrades in this forum for more info.
