Ok, I guess a lot of us are abut to hit the 6 year maintenance. What is the expected cost of this? I know a couple of things are "optional" such as changing the drive belt.
So how much can I expect?
Thanks

Drive belt is not really "optional" is it? It is 60000km or 6 years, and it is not that expensive, I've just done it.

that is one of the easiest maintenance items to do yourself. The belt can be purchased from suncoast for less than 50 bucks i think...i did mine about 6 months ago.

The car is a CPO so I'll have them do it. But in general, the 6 year maintenance is a more than the 2 year. Any estimates for the price?
Thanks

Doubt the drive belt is a CPO item - consumable.

Bent rod = $30k+

That's scary

My car has 53000Km and getting close to 6 years. The on board computer started to say i needed a service at 49000Km. Now that i think of it, it was around the time the car made 5 years

Depends what you need done and who you have do it. At the dealer: brake flush $400, spark plugs ~$1200, maybe tranny fluid $300, drive belt, oil change, pollen filter $100 plus labor, I could see a $2500 to $3000 dealer bill. CPO doesn't cover any of this. Maybe you need a new clutch? Another $3000. Find a good indi and you won't need as many things and they won't cost nearly as much. Really depends on the maintenance history of your car.

Is the "drive belt" the posts keep referring to just the serpentine belt or is it the cam timing belt? Judging by the low cost, I'd assume it's the belt on the exterior of the engine.

Ok, I realize that the CPO doesn't cover these things. But I have a CPO and it continues to August 2014. Thus, all service will be done at my dealer.
Now, I do not have the service history. Can the dealer tell me if the spark plugs were done? The car is a US car brought into Canada. Does he have access to the service records in the US?
Thanks

A brand new engine is $36k
