What other parts should I replace while I have my car in the shop? Imreplacing timing belt, waterpump, other belts and r

If we knew what car and what engine, you could learn what it is prone to have go wrong between services.

During a timing belt change, some vehicles, it can be smart to put the tensioner and pulley kit in at the same time.

That's because on some engines, the tensioner, idler, or related parts can have issues that cause belt and or engine failure as a result.

Otherwise, talk it over with your tech so he knows you are interested in preventative maintenance.

He/she is looking at it now, good time to say.

You should replace the thermostat. That is usually done when a new water pump is put on. You might consider changing the radiator hoses depending on how good a shape they are in.

The radiator usually isn't part of the normal routine maintenance.

Filters! Oil, fuel, air. Change gear oil in rear. Fresh spark plugs. Check brakes. Lube ball joints. Add winter blades & washer fluid. Check tire wear.

Cam and crank seals

Change the muffler bearings or you will be sorry
