Thanks for the clarifications. I can see why you might estimate yearly costs at $2500. I have 99% of my work done at shops, a combination of dealer and a neighborhood independent, but the labor costs aren't close to that. Different geographical areas, I suspect.

In terms of preventive maintenace, I think we just have different approaches. I would be in closer agreement with you on the water pump if I was changing the belt at 140K (second belt change) and there was discernable play in the pump. I still remember changing my 80 245 water pump at 30K intervals with each tune-up. Those failed like clockwork. I'm not so sure about the V90s.

And clearly, based on your observations, vigilance in inspecting the sprockets at higher mileage should be part of our routine.
