180km euro what to do to make it feel as good as new.

[marquee]

Now pretty much Im trying to get my car back to as pristine condition as possible just wondering a parts list to buy or servicing requirements for this point.

Sorry cant add title its CL9

Things im doing at the moment or have done fairly recently.

Oil (changed last week)
Spark Plugs (buying this week)
Valve clearences (will be doing within a month)
Fuel FIlter (same time as valve clearences)


Not sure what else to do but would be good for a sweet parts list of some ideas or things to check over to see if i need to buy them.

Reason want it running so good is to make it ready for a tune. :D

There are a few things you can check to ensure safety and wellbeing of your car.

Brake Pads (may need to get a mechanic to take off tyres to check brake conditions)
Air filter if not changed in last 10000km+
Radiator fluid level (there is a minimum bar when you pop the hood)
Spark plugs need only changing every 100k km so if the person before you had them changed, you could probably hold off a little longer. Get Platinum ones - don't go cheap on them

Tyre pressure (easy check at petrol station for free. I keep mine on 36 front, 34 rear)

Yer i got a free wheel alignment and service on my tires coming up soon so that will fix that brake pads are fine. air filter changed only 6 months ago, radiator fluid changed about 3 months ago and topped up a little bit since then.

Spark plugs doesnt specify if changed and going to change them anyway just to be safe.

Get you're other fluids too, if you want it to feel as new, maybe a possible reflush?
Also, afaik wasn't the cl9 spark plugs Iridium??

[marquee]

yer CL9 stock plugs NGK Iridium 1.1 gap

[Fredoops]

Oil flush (not just change, but flush it) using Liqui-moly engine detox... or Seafoam the SoB.
Fuel injection system clean
Valve clean (once again, that liqui-moly stuff)
Transmission fluids (once again, flush, not just mere drain'n'fill)

Pulley belts (get it checked out)

if you want it to drive like new then check the condition of all your shocks and bushes, after 180k kms im sure there are a few worn out bushes.

Just bought my spark plugs today so cheap for performancelub 70 bucks for a set of 4 will pop them in tommorow hopefully see some increased fuel economy and just looked through my log book and woops fuel filter not done since 115000kms how hard to install by yourself does fuel go everywhere?

[[SDCTVE]]

70 bucks for a set of 4? are you sure they're the right ones??

[marquee]

Just put them in started up straight away. And yep there the right ones part number izfr6k11 stock number 6994

[Stig]

70 bucks for a set of 4 sounds about right,

its easy to install, its like the basis 101 of DIY's

have you thought about changing your gearbox fluid? brake fluid? etc

[marquee]

Just got new clutch and was changed then brakefluid was changed at the same time

[Lazarus]

So..what changes have you done so far? and how does it feel?

[marquee]

Ok i have done:
Oil change with Oil Filter
Spark Plugs
Tranny Fluid Clutch Clutch Fluid

It feels awesome however as mentioned with another thread just got a rough idle but im getting closer to diagnose the problem

[Lazarus]

just a quick question
iridium IX from ngk, alot of websites have said the iridium ix ZFR6FIX-11 are compatiable with all k-series as well as J series. and ive done a research on the spark plugs and they fit a yellowpage full of different cars.

Is anyone running these iridium IX? reason i ask is because i can get iridium IX for cheaper than usual, and i heard they are more performance orientated but dont last as long as the laser iridiums.
anyone got a clue?

[Lazarus]

I always thought iridium is just iridium.
I use Denso Copper Sparkies

Woa your using less then manufacturer specified.... hardcore .

That's how i roll dawg! lol.
I was told that it might be better to use copper as it's a better conductor + since it might be better for the car to frequently replace things....if that makes sense idk lol

Copper will last you 30 odd thousand k's
Iridium will last you 100 odd thousland k's.

just how often you want to replace it, is all.
