it has 79000 miles on it. do i need to change them now. if so is there a step by instructions how to do that
I alos have another question. I notice coolant smell when i drive for too long that's after i park it, the car does not oevrheat. I took it to the dealer and they said that the engine is good and there is no leak and i've been monitoring it and it does not seem to have coolant leak. last time i changed the coolant bottle however, i noticed that whoever owend the car before me put a green coolant instead of the pink one. could it be the wrong coolant the cause of the smell. i will flush the coolant this week and see if it changes anything. besides the pink coolant, do i need to apply some sort of sealant.

too many quesitons at one time. I really apprecaite your feedback roving4life.

thanks so much

asked the dealer to make sure the engine wasn't changed or the timing belt.

if it wasnt you are due for them at 72k

its an eight hour job that you need special tools.

bottles leak, you can look yourself, check underneath the dashboard driverside, the fan has a big white sticker. if it is pink its got a heater core leak. look in the valley of the engine for a leak as well.
