Went in for an oil change and came out with a list of recommended replacements. Wallet is screaming, may be going on life support shortly. I think I’ve reached the point where I’ve spent almost the price of the car itself...
Made me think of everything replaced so far:
Passenger engine mount (x2)
Clutch
Lower engine mount
Hood shocks
Hatch shocks
Oil cap
Power steering reservoir seal
Intercooler boot
Alternator
AC compressor
Crank sensor seal
Oil pan gasket
Valve cover gasket (x2)
Driver CV boot
Oil pressure sender
Passenger axle
Front shocks
Rear shocks
Rear shock tops
Accessory belt tensioner
Belt idler
Crank pulley
Front crank pulley seal
Vanity mirror cover
Wheels and tires
Not to mention all the other stuff I willingly decided to do:
Intake
Pulley
Shifter
Intercooler
Wing
Turn signals
Rear sway bar
Control arm bushings
Lower engine mount bushing
Tint
Sunroof blockers
Camber tops
Strut tower defenders
Weather mats
Car rescue (jump pack, tire inflator, tire sealant)
Just venting I suppose. Love hate is especially strong with this car and I haven’t even had the more expensive repairs come up like supercharger service, clutch replacement, front end refresh, or brake replacement.
