Hello, I'm a brand-new owner of a 2006 H3 that I am enjoying and fixing up to better than original condition. I've done a ton of the little things, but want to know if there are other mechanical things to know in owning one of these.


2006 H3 I5, 140,000 Miles


Recent work: Thermostat and hose, Transmission service (Fluids & Filter) Front and Rear Diff fluids changed.

Near future projects:


Brakes, Shocks and Struts, Ignition Coils and Plugs, New Main Belt, Tensioners and Bearings. What else am I missing?


Thanks in advance for your opinion and help!

 

Welcome to HF. What else depends on what was done before you bought it. Filters, oil change to wiper blades depending on how well the previous owner kept the services up to date.

 

Welcome to HF.

Post some pix.

 

Well thanks guys. To 3hummers, There weren't any service records to speak of, and having read the threads here I'm a little concerned that I bought an 06' but things look pretty good all around.

Did do wiper blades and lots of cosmetic things to start. Today it the Plugs/Coils and then the Main Belt and Tensioner. Can't see anything that alarms me except there was a obvious small fire (electrical) that seems to have gotten the harness to melt a bit. I'll post a couple of pics. I've looked hard for a fault or issue and there just isn't one. Runs like a champ.
