Hey guys I'd say this has been asked before but couldn't quite find anything specific. I'm looking at buying a BF (hopefully MKII) xr6t and im not gonna budge on getting a manual so that leaves me very few options. So basically I need to consider buying ones with different kms, Ideally I want something around 80,000 but if you guys think that theres not much maintenance required beyond 100,000kms then I might consider cars with more kms.

So basically what I'm wondering is at what kms does certain maintenance need to be done on this model in manual and how much are these services?

Cheers

The maintance advise would tighten up/check the turbo bolts every oil change or second if thrash it or once every 30000 would be good IDEa change oil every 10000 and change filter . check to see if spark plugs been changed once u own it, check basically oils (gearbox, diff, clutch and brakes) and coolant and check fuel filter

Buy aftermarket oil filter kit from earls or eBay turbos know to fail to not enough oil/ oil line internal filter clogs up

Check belts n pulleys once 100000

I'm sorta fussy so maybe not everything but defiantly good idea after oil line kit and check turbo bolts which bolts the turbo to the manifold once n awhile turbo get hot enought to cause the nuts to loosen little bit or what I've done double nut

Here's something that is really common - loose exhaust manifold bolts :nono: Here "the Doc" shows us where to find these bolts and what he does to maintain them. Thanks mate - this is something I always wanted someone to show me how to maintain :thumbsup:
