120K miles, and I'm assuming the cats are toast, I live in Florida, so I won't be buying new ones if the ones on the car are bad
I'm trying to figure out if this is something I can do by myself, or if I need to take it to the dealership to do
get yourself a set of ebay coils they go for about 120 bucks for the set of 8....and you can get the cats on ebay 2.
$500 + beer
if you buy $1000 in beer, you might need a whole new car after all the drunk a$$es are done breaking sh!t off of it. lol
I believe the cost of a valve cover gasket job is roughly:
- coils ar $100 each from the dealer = $800
- gaskets = $150
- misc (plugs, ...+) = $150
- labour = $400 (I think it's 5 hrs @ $80/hr)
= $1500
or you can do it yourself:
- coils $45 each = $360
- gaskets = $70
- misc (plugs, ...) = $70
= $500 + beer
Do I need to replace all the coils, how do I check which ones are bad?
What about the Valve cover gaskets? How do I know I need to replace them?
