How long do these parts last?

[Dorkinheimer]

I was just wondering how long certain parts on the Corolla last.

Generally speaking:

At what mileage or how many years will you have to replace

A) The muffler

B) Water Pump

C) Clutch

D) Thermostat

E) Radiator

F) Battery

G) Alternator

All those items are original on my '03 with 110k miles on it (except for the clutch -- tranny is auto). Several of those items will depend on how you drive the car, and some will depend on the model year of your car. I've been told that the water pump can be an issue on the '05's. So I guess the best answer is that your mileage will vary.

101K(automatic) and so far all I have replaced was the battery at 75K, wasn't really going bad but got a deal on a good upgrade! Starting at 90K I always throw in my spare alternator and the right tools when going on a long trip, got one used on ebay for $25, beats getting stuck on the road and paying $300 for a local shop or Toyota to replace with a new one!

As far as other things, I've replaced the plugs, window washer motor, driver headlight, driver door weather strip, pcv, washer sprayer heads, rear wheel bearing, front and back brakes, rotors, rear wheel cylinder rebuild, console door hinge and the clock!

I have a 2006 Corolla, have it since 3.3 years and I only have 32,000km, or about 21,000 miles.

I guess I'M good for a while unlesss some parts wear with time, not mileage.
