Yeh, no big deal I know, but just wanna check, at 85000KM what should I be looking out for or what are some of the parts which I definitely must change liao? Timing belt change liao, fluids also just change no long ago, tires also, brake pads ok... Hmm... PS - Don't ask me change car, no $$$

change the water thermostat, often neglected but quite catastrophic when it doesn't work!

thermostate fail can either be in open or close state. Car start up after long rest, thermostat is in close state for engine to get to its optimal operating temp range, so imagine if it doesn't open after that ..over heating in the cylinder head and block. It is actually ok to do without a thermostat in our kind of climate, just warm up the car longer before driving.

Hey Mobinaut LMF, Just realised my car above 90K mileage also! And I do hope that it will last all the way to 10 years because COE to ex liao. Currently mine is 4.5 years old. Only issue is higher fuel consumption and a loose contact on my central lock which sometimes locks the car immediately after I unlock it!

I had the lock problem before, until it died on me and i changed the locking thingy at my workshop sometime back
