Hello. I would love some advice specifically on maintenance/work that should be done on my Odyssey. It has about 126,000 miles and we bought it new. I like to keep all maintenance/service records...my husband like to throw things away.
So here is a list (probably not comprehensive) of things it has had done over the years.
36,000--power steering flush
55,000--transmission fluid change? flush?
63,000--timing belt, drive belts, cam seals, crank seals, water pump, t.b. tensioner
84,000--alignment, CV driveshaft?
92,000--rear wheel bearing
100,000--rear brake pads
112,000--brake fluid exchange
113,000--valve cover gaskets replaced
120,000--front wheel bearings, front brake pads, shocks?
124,000--alternator replaced/belt replaced/tensioner arm? replaced
I am not including regular oil changes, tires, batteries, recalls, etc.
As you can see, the repairs have started piling up recently. We've just been repairing things as they pop up, but I would like to get it back into shape to the point where we can take it on a roadtrip and not worry that something will break or go wrong.
The timing belt was done because of age. I regret having it done that early. When does it need to be replaced again?
Repair shop says valve cover gaskets need to be replaced again (leaking on alternator)?!? Seems like something was not done correctly for them to be leaking again so soon. I did look at some threads on this topic...
Also, are there any parts that should for sure be Honda parts? I got burned with this once (non-Honda distributor cap on my 1990 Honda Civic Hatchback caused it to not start and I was stranded).
Thanks in advance! I really appreciate any advice! We don't know a lot about cars.
