[s-cars] 90k service (timing belt)?

[Rit Bellis]

Just did mine at 200k.  $1800 for complete service, including water pump
thermostat, 5 new 1.8t coils, plugs, oil change and coolant change, plus
hydraulic flush and some stray exhaust work.  Belt was really worn.  Runs
like a champ now, and lots more power than before.  Plus actually shows
temperature above the 1/4 mark.  So 1/3 the value of the car for basic
service, and worth it.

I have 44k on mine but plan on doing it again in a few weeks since it has
been 8 years since it was done.
