Hi!!! I have an accent gls and have hear Mixed information. I just hit 101 k miles. I’ve read and heard that at a certain point flushes are a good thing to do. Specifically engine and transmission. What’s your guys take?

    At 100k you should service the following -

    Spark plug replacement

    Belt replacement (there are 3 belts - AC, Alternator, and power steering if not done previously with timing belt)

    Brake fluid flush

    Coolant flush

    Steering fluid flush

    Transmission fluid replacement

    The timing belt should have been replaced at around 80k miles on the Accent. The timing belt is a critical component, if it breaks the engine cylinders will smash the valves and destroy the engine. If the timing belt has not been serviced, you should do it right away.

    At the same time of the timing belt, you should do the following as it all needs to come apart anyway, and if one fails you do it all over again -

    Water pump

    AC idler pulley

    Timing belt idler

    Timing belt spring

    Timing belt tensioner pulley

    Things to consider -

    Front struts and rear shocks. 100k on the little car is lot of work for them and they are well worn, even if not leaking or showing signs of it.
