Anyone got any routine maintenance tips on what should be done as the car crests 100k miles? I've recently replaced things either proactively or reactively including the timing chain, thermostat housing, rear brakes (front are fine), DIY walnut blasting...etc. I am going to order the turbo lines soon because I think they just started leaking, and so are the gaskets for the filter housing, so I'll be replacing those too. And I will probably replace the sparkplugs, clean out the intercooler, but is there anything else I should really look at? The hpfp was recently replaced while I still had the extended coverage, it was taking 7-8 attempts to start each time before that. Oh and the tires are just fine, replaced them about a year ago. Thanks for the help everyone. Oh and I think I've decided to keep this car for a while longer rather than looking at something else. Performance wise, might want to throw on the koni FSD or bilstein shocks, but that might be it for a while. I've got my truck which is much cheaper and more reliable to modify, otherwise I would be throwing a lot more money at upgrades to the mini.

 

Sounds like you got it covered. Where you located? I'm in Frederick.

I'm in Hampstead. I know Frederick well though, graduated with my M.S. degree from Hood last year. Went to St. Mary's for my undergrad however.
