What repairs to anticipate after 200K?
'97 Eurovan just hit 200K mi. Sitting out in the cold past few weeks, now the timing chain broke. That's $4K. My mechanic says he's got to remove engine and transmission to replace timing chain. Which reminds me that this van still has original transmission. Would it save me some labor cost to replace tranny while you've got it out already? Yes, about $1K. But the part alone will run another ~ $4K.
So, before I throw I plunk down $8K, my question is, what other predictable major repairs can I expect after 200K mi.? (Van is up-to-date on all scheduled maintenance.)
