Congrats on the longevity feat!

Sorry I can't offer any real advice...

i'd say worry more about your transmission at this point!

you might want to address your waterpump if its still the original one, and do a coolant change too!

Rear end fluids is a 1x /year event aswell.
Have fun!

Our cars dont use timing belts, they use timing chains. I am at 137K so I am with you on all the preventive maintenance!

99CLK320,
Did you ask the dealer(?), not that I would take it there to have it done.

This may be a dumb question, but is the timing chain in visual sight? I always thought the one belt behind the fan was the timing/serpentine belt.
