Just curious how many miles you guys have, and the maintenance you have done?

I bought my 2005 scion tc in the end of 2019 with about 90,000 miles. It now has 110,000. I have replaced tie rod ends on the front, front ball joints, struts on the front, front control arms, power steering pump, and fluid.

Rear sway bar links, rear trailing arms.

Brakes and rotors all around, transmission fluid flush, oil around every 3,000 miles with 5w30 synthetic.

Getting prepared to have the water pump replaced soon. Its not leaking or causing issues yet, but I know that's probably the next thing to replace.

Anybody have input on timing chains? Are they worth replacing as preventive maintanence?

 

330,000 miles and still going. Using conventional oil. Just do it on time. She burns some oil now but manageable. Dropped replacement interval to 4000 instead of 5000 miles.

Replaced parts that are usual wear and tear. Alternator once, starter once, power steering pump twice, radiator on third now as original was replaced after front end accident, injectors, coils, fuel pump once, trans filter/fluid. On my third catalytic converter now. Original cat is hella expensive. So have replaced with first a Walker Calcat and now AP/Eastern cat both designed for California emissions making them more expensive but still half the price of a Toyota cat. The oil burning is causing the slight premature cat failure triggering the darn P0420 code. One of these days I'll either have motor rebuilt, low mileage used engine or a new/reman engine to get the oil consumption back to normal. I'd rather keep her alive than have a new car with a monthly higher insurance and loan payment. lol She looks great and folks trip out that she's a 2005 and has that many miles.
