TO 40000 — logbook Toyota Corolla 2008
The devil is not so terrible as he is painted! I thought that on this extended MOT I would fly into the pipe, as people called the price tags and 14 and 17 thousand. I missed 7. True, this is conditional.
By tradition, he refused to replace the cabin and engine filters. The engine air filter was changed at 20,000 km. Although the manufacturer recommends after 40,000. As a last resort, I will change it myself. It will cost twice as much. I just ditched the cabin filter.
It's time to change the front brake pads. There is 2 mm of material left on the pads. You can still ride for some time, but it was recommended not to delay it. Replacement in the shopping center will cost 3400.
They will also replace the water pump under warranty. Turns out my pump is leaking. It's nice that they are watching) True, you still have to buy a drive belt. The old one cracked. The part in the shopping center costs a lot - 3300! Achtung! A non-original belt costs from 400! A friend put one himself and rides!
Also lubed the gear lever drive. When switching terribly creaked. Felt at these moments the driver of the TAZ.
The basic maintenance itself was reduced to changing the oil with a filter, pumping the brake line, replacing candles.
Tomsk ranks 4th in the country in terms of the number of cars per capita. There is basically nothing to breathe here. The filter won't help. To live longer, you have to go somewhere where there is order with the environment.)
You can't shake everything out anyway. You also need to think about your health, the filter is not so expensive. That is, you change the air engine, you breathe clean air, but you don’t think about yourself)
When I got mine, I blew it with air, I thought it was so gray, but when after MOT I got the one that the dealer put to me and saw that it was snow-white, and not gray as I thought.
