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

**marquee** · 08-08-2011 08:36 PM

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.

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?

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)
