I know for sure -oil/filter -spark plugs and ignition wires -air filter I'll do the fuel filter also since i didn't do it @ 60k and tighten and lube the front wheel bearing...there is some play right now just recently (last 2 months) did a 4 wheel alignment, coolant flush mech said flex disc is fine, bushings were fine, no leaks, no nothing :-) -Ren PS I tried to search but didn't find anything |

Hi,
Not sure how comprehensive the look was by your mechanic. I would think it's getting to be time for front end work, 100,000 seems to be magic number. Ball joints, struts, tie rod assemblies, etc. However, I would not fix what's not broke. As you mentioned all filters, plugs, wires, rotor, cap, hoses, belt. Typical high ware items. Good luck, Joel |

The maintenance schedules point out everything to do, and everything is carried out in miles, except for two items, which are carried out in time:
1. Brake Fluid gets flushed and replaced every 2 years. 2. Transmission Fluid gets flushed and replaced every 3 years. You'll have to check your records and see when the above two items were done last. Following are the maintenance schedules: 7,500 MILE SERVICE (Also due at 22,500 / 37,500 / 52,000 miles) Change Engine Oil and Filter.

I just noticed you have a 1994 E320.
You also have a dust / pollen filter for your a/c that needs to be replaced, too.
