supradriver Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 How much would I be looking at for a service (oil filter, fuel filter and spark plugs) how much are these parts alone. Would it be worth Getting these parts and getting a garage to do the work to make it cheaper??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supradriver Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 I found this on the plugs does any one know how much the rest would be??? Copper plugs are ~£2 each Platinum plugs are ~£6 each (not £14!!) Iridium ~£8 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Oil filter - circa £10 for a Supra one, circa £12 for the lexus one(T90915-20004), including sump washer(T90430-12031). direct from Toyota. Or circa £20 for a TRD one. Fuel filter - no idea I'm afraid. P.S. don't forget the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Changing plugs on Na is more labour intensive than on a TT as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Why what’s wrong???????? Look where they are you have to take loads of bits off to get to them. Not easy at all there is a guide on here somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 on the NA you have to take the inlet manifold off If you are doing it yourself, you might need coil pack connectors and Breather hoses depending how old the car is.

Pixelfill Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The coil pack connectors can become brittle due to the temperatures, and sometimes just fall apart when you try to take them off. They are only cheap though and there is a good guide on here as to how to replace them. The Breather Hoses also go hard due to the temperatures, and become a little more difficult to remove and replace. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Did my TT plugs and Rays the Roof and I did the plugs on his NA first time we did his NA it took 1.5 - 2 hrs can do them in 30 mins now but lot trickier than TT for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 bugger - I've just gone looking for that http://mkiv.com/techarticles/spark_plugs/na/ Mike PS before anyone picks up on it, It's the Throttle body you remove. I'd change it further up but I've been quoted to buggery. Oh and the coil pack connectors probably only apply to the TT, due to the NA not having them, I'll get my coat. Thankfully we aren't in Technical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
