I think is time for me to change the timing belt, water pump , belt tensioner , drive belt.. etc on my vehicross. I have 65k miles in my vx.
The workshop manual says :

• Replace Timing Belt : Every 75.000 Miles (120.000KM)
• Change Engine Oil and Filter : Every 3.000 Miles ( 48.000KM)
• Change Automatic Trans Fluid : Every 20.000 Miles (32.000KM)
• Change Front & Rear Axle Oil : Every 30.000 Miles (48.000KM)
• Change Power Steering Fluid : Every 30.000 Miles (48.000KM)

Im not sure what the first owner done with the vx , so im going to change all fluids too... I have my vx for 6 month now , i drove less than 600 miles so far there is no oil burning at all , but the drive belt need to be change for sure !

Any suggestion for good quality timing belt kit ? I found this complete kit on ebay

Doesn't the owners manual say to do the timing belt at 120K miles?

This chart is for those that use the VX under severe driving conditions...like...uh...Marlin perhaps...

For normal use the Timing Belt replacement is 100,000 Miles.

Yep, changed mine 2 years ago at 115K, now I have 125ish. I also change my oil twice a year, and the diff oil once a year. Tranny every once in awhile. I figure I should be good for 5 years or so.

Now the power steering fluid, I got one of those power steering filters on ebay, worked like a champ...lol.
I don't mess with the power steering at all, a newpump is like 50 bucks, cost more in time and fluid to change the fluid every few years than to just wait until the pump dies.

Not sure where your getting a new ps pump at for $50 but you better grab a few. When I priced them earlier this year they were over $400.
