Oscar, the Obsidian Outback at 63K and 8 years

I saw (and smelled) a ripped CV boot was allowing the joint to fling grease on the exhaust.


It hadn't been in for it's 60k yet:
  • Both inner CV boots replaced. Right side was cooked by the exhaust. 
  • A/C and Alternator, PS belts replaced. They were looking old, suggesting the timing belt, though more protected is a bit scary too.
  • Radiator cap, a lower hose, coolant flush.
  • 4 wheel alignment.

$500 in labor, $400 in parts, give or take.


Still needs:

  • timing belt: $1000, I'll leave this one for Craig in August.
  • new valve cover and spark plug galley gaskets
  • PS pump
  • plugs, wires
  • air filter, cabin filter
  • gear oil changed in front and rear diffs
  • rear brake pads
