Hey guys,
Me and my friends were thinking if all that was done to a car for a few years was oil change and oil filter what would be a good list do do an overhaul service? We came up with: Brake fluid and pads Clutch fluid Transmission fluid Power steering fluid Engine oil Coolant Oil filter Fuel filter Air filter Spark plugs and leads Valve clearance Dizzy cap and rotor PCV valve Clean and test all sensors Inspection for weird noises etc Wheel rotation Anything that you would add/subtract from that list? We also made a simple regular maintenance list: Oil change and filter Clean air filter Top up all fluid levels Same question as above, anything you would add/subtract from that list? Cheers, Reece |

IIRC it should be done at 90k miles, and you are @ just over 83K ATM.. that and you may want to give a good look at your brake rotors wile you are at it.. good luck!  -------------------- |

I think they are supposed to be done every 150 000km or 160 000 km, I did mine at 153

If you are not too worried about replacing it, you could run it till it snaps
 I'd take a tape measure and check the toe in on the front end. If you haven't had an alignment in a while you can get it close and save some tire. Sounds like you needed to do mostly time related stuff, cause that is low miles. -------------------- QUOTE (Araykhel @ Oct 10, 2011 - 6:32 PM) Today I learned that I need a turbo to complete me. |

Just for fun (since you are doing plugs) id do a compression test.....verify timing is correct. While your pulling off wheels, check all your suspension components (ball joints, bushings, etc....).
