I'm scheduled to have my second service (Maintenance II) on Saturday. I've read the maintenance manual to see what's involved. I have no desire to pay $600 (price I've heard) since I (and my friends - thanks CoryB & fellow RCMers) are fairly handy.

One thing in the manual I didn't get was the replacement of the "Poly-v belt." I'm guessing this is the supercharger belt, but I'm looking for confirmation. I've already replaced that at 40K anyhow (with 19% reduction pulley install) so I don't want a new one right now. I'd like about 40K on the new belt before I switch unless I see that it's been slipping (no evidence) or is worn down (some, but not signficant). I do my own oil changes and I just did the plugs at ~62K (which were totally spent - 100K, my @ss - would have done them at 50K if I had known). I also did my own brake flush in May - rather replaced the fluid with DOT4+ if I remember correctly. And I've had my coolant flushed 3 or 4 times since I've had the car ('02). I just got my state safety inspection last weekend which checks the brakes and I know they're new as of May (all 4), so this seems to leave only filters... I have a BMP CAI with a K&N filter so no need there except maybe for a cleaning. I think I'm down to an AC filter, checking the computer for faults and ... umm... what else?

Anybody have experience taking theirs in for a service & telling them that X, Y, & Z are already done? I want to show good service records, but I don't want to get screwed either.

I found this information on this thread

 

Considering that you have already done most of the "major" maintenance listed in the book, I think you are probably going to spend a lot of money to have them check to see if your windshield wipers work. Other than the AC filter, you have already done everything major, and everything else I see in my book looks like it is just a bunch of visual inspections.

 

That's what I want to avoid...
