Question Change distributor caps/rotors and ignition coils?

Hi guys,

My car has 145.000 Km on the odo.., Now I will change spark plugs, brake pads, oil, and some oil tubes.

Distributor caps,rotors and ignition coils cost me 220€ (BOSCH), because a relative of mine works there.

What dou you think guys? Should I change this thinks with this Km's?

Regards.

I wouldn't worry about the coils unless they are not working but the rest of the things you mentioned wont hurt. Also not much point changing the brake pads unless the current ones are worn past the acceptable limit.

I´ve changed caps rotors and coils in my car to solve a "christmas tree" effect and it worked fine, my 964 had 152000 kms at that time so I will say yes change it all specially if you don´t know when the last change was made
