WTK: Maintenance cost on a 1.6 TS

[esan]

Good day 2nrz…

I’m considering buying a 1.6 TS (I know it aint fast). Anyone who has one… I’d like to know what your monthly maintenance cost and availability of parts are like, from filters and seals to major parts.

I’d also like to know who works on them in the west because I heard that the average mechanic can mess up your boxer engine. Peace.

esan,

i can say that basic maintenence parts are readily availble from the firm, motorist, faiz in marabella and various other suppliers

the 1.6ts can also use the almera oil filters, the original filters from the firm cost around 80 which are advised to be changed out at 10,000km

i use masterserv for service - the basic service oil change, filter change, service brakes etc cost around 800

hope this helps,

refer to www.scoobytnt.com for further info

good luck in your choice

its a lil more at the firm.

Cost me between TT$800 and TT$1200 for general maintenance.

Note that brakes are kinda costly. Can cost you TT$1000 plus vat and installation plus your general maintenance bill.

There are after market brakes that are cheaper.

Servicing my TS is like 5 nissan services.........i had a nissan before but i still love my scooby even though maintenance is high.

[NuffRespect]

its not that high depending where you get the parts from, Faiz prices are really high compared to some people i know, i get parts from massey at a very cheap price and i can give you guys a good price.

[Go Fast]

yea... i can back this up.. bought filters, oil, gas, from him already, good prices

the 1.6ts is like any other car drive it hard and rough it up and it will ask for maintenance bill take acre of it and drive it good bill will be lower

[madness19]

U can get cheaper parts at any normal parts place. disc pads 120, oil filter 25, brake shoes 350.air filter u have to get from the company its just like the almera but longer.

can't go wrong with the TS .. remember scooby parts are generally more expensive than , say , an Almera , B14 , B15 etc.

It was a full package
Oil, oil filters, air filter etc etc etc
my body kit got damaged in the process.
trying to resolve the situation as calmly as possible.
patience running out unfortunately.

That sucks... I take it you're not too happy with their service.

I can't agree with that totally, per say. Some parts are...but otherwise, many really aren't that much different in price.....mainly because there are some common parts between the Nissan and the Subaru line up.

ahy one could give me a comparison in gas consumption
