So I got a new job and will be commuting roughly 600 miles a week. What can I do to ensure the functional response of my car for the many miles ahead? Currently it has about 177k miles on the stock engine.
Here is a list of some of the things I think will need to be changed: - Head gasket - Waterpump? - fuel filter? - spark plugs - Brakes Here is a list of some of the things that I have already changed: - Thermostat - radiator - Tires - coolant temperature sensor - Oxygen sensor - catalytic converter - Timing belt was changed at 148K Any suggestions of what else needs to be changed? -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner!
