I took the car to the dealership because the Service Engine soon light turned on. The dealership quoted me on the repairs that need to be done and the pricing. Which one of these do I need to do at the dealership and which ones could I do myself and save a ton of money. I am pretty adept with tools and probably willing to spend a few days on fixing it.
Here is a rundown

po106 which is a ecm program
po445 evap leak that needs a canister vent control valve. est for those two is 684.72

fan belt it is starting to crack, est 257.00
The oil leak is the oil cooler oring est 157.00 but you will need to change the oil because you have to take the oil filter off the replace the oring. 42.95

Your have a slight leak at the valve cover gaskets est 708.00

 

What are your mechanic's skills like? There's some tutorials here about how to do the valve cover gasket which don't seem too tricky. Serpentine belt tutorial is here, all depends on how confident you are! Other ones I haven't looked into, but I would say look at tutorials, if they seem terrifying pay for someone else to do it.

 

If I'm not mistaken, the EVAP cannister is located on the passenger side towards the rear. Last I looked (out of curiosity) it was a straight forward replacement.

 

Thanks for those who responded, and I am going to attempt to do the Valve cover gasket and Serpentine belt replacement myself and hope I don't mess that up.

 

Good luck!!

 

You'll be fine. It's very straight forward. I recently did it myself over the course of a weekend a month back. Got the gaskets from Rock Auto. Just follow the service manual step by step and tighten everything in order. If you have any questions shoot me a PM.

 

Question, did you reuse the plenum gasket? I think most people reuse it but was just curious as its not mentioned in any of the DIY's i've seen

OP: heres a video on a guy doing it to a 370z.. its not the best video but its decent to see most of the disassembly process

 

I reused mine. No ill effects.
