Maintenance intervals

[Travaglino]

Hi all!

i have buy my first Ek9 <3 , it's arrived from japan in November 2015 with all maintenance documents (in japanese), she have 149966 Km, where can I verify on maintenance documents that you are replacing the timing belt and water pump?
What work I have to do at this mileage?
Maintenance intervals is similar to EK4? i had a EK4 and i know the b16a2.

thank you all!

The recommended timing belt replacement for B series engines is 96 months or 120,000 Km's (whichever comes first)

I had the JDM service documents with my ek9 and i had no idea what it meant, unless you can read Japanese or know someone who can you have no chance.

Best way to find out if its been replaced is to remove the rocker cover and have a look at the belt. at your mileage it should have been replaced so the belt should still be fairly new with the writing still visible. if not then you should replace it

i think the maintenance intervals are 1 year 10,000 miles. tend to find most people usually replace the oil and filter every 5,000 miles or 6 months.

I had the same question about the timing belt when I got my car check your door jam i believe the white sticker indicates timing belt change.
