Milestone today, car hit 100k

[txbest1980]

Timing Chain? water pump?

[Spyke]

I would say I transmission fluid change + filter. Yes the fuel filter and the brake fluid. Thats it thats all.

Mine is at 99600 miles and I always carry my picture camera to take the 100k mark. I already change the spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body, change the transmission fluid, already replaced fuel filter...I need just the brake fluid for a change.

Txbest, timing chain? I have to say no don't do it if everything is fine there. Each car I had, I never changed the timing chain and the cars lasted at least 200k miles. The biggest lemon was my 2.7l interpid that lasted 310k miles without putting any money on the car. Timing chain was still good so I wouldn't do anything on the timing chain on the cts UNLESS there's a problem with them (you have 3 chains)

unless you got a new differential recently, swap out that fluid, your car will love you for it.
have we spent enough of your money yet?

[Kael]

ah yes, I forgot about the diff fluid. Alright, time to change that, and the tranny fuild it seems.

Fuel filter, cabin filter, the timing chain is self adjusting.

How did you go about cleaning the throttle body?
I know our maf is not attached to the throttle body but was there anything that was done "special" other than just spraying throttle body/carb cleaner right into the bore?

[Spyke]

What I did is use an old towel or a rag, spray some throttle cleaner, wipe til there is nothing to take off, replug everything. thats it!

If you want, you can clean the MAF, I didn't.

For your 100k mark, I think you have enough! If you have to much money, feel free to send some to me hehehe!

[Spyke]

Youve got one of those special CTS's that will do 260 mph.

Its one of the rare time that I have to use miles instead of kilometers lol

I was like.. dammit, I'm driving so slow and the acceleration is not that good in miles! I prefer km's

Hey Spyke, Paco ... mine is almost there too ... about 1000 kms to go. Also in Montreal.

Where did you guys go to get the timing belt changed (and how much $, if you don't mind me asking). Never mind, Spyke, see you've got the 3.6.
