[jason_85]

hey all.. my 98 vt v6 is due for a service and insted of only changing plugs, leads, oil and filter im wanting to do a full complete once over. im wondering if anyone can tell me what else i could do to service the car and the best way of doing it? any advice on what to check/replace would be good....

thanks in advance guys

Depends on how far you want to go.

You can do full fluid change and do coolant, trans, diff and brake fluid.

Lubricate everything that moves.

Oh, and check the service manual and do any periodic maintenance that it states for the equivelant kms yours has done.

Every 10,000km I change oil and filter, lube all hinges and catches
Every 20,000km I change wiper blades
Every 30,000 I change brake fluid, coolant and radiator cap
Every 40,000km I change spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, auto trans fluid if auto
Every 100,000km I change diff oil, gear oil if manual, power steer fluid, spark plug leads and O2 sensors
Every 110,000 I change auto trans filter if auto
All other parts inspect and replace as required
most important thing is to only use quality components

the car has 204xxxks on the clock... i changed plugs, leads. oil and filter, fuel filter and pump at about 191xxx.... would it be time to change them again and also check brake pads, adjust hand brake, replace brake fluid and powersteering fluid, run some sort of engine treatment through it, stuff like that? not going to need the car for a week or 2 so i thought i should do all this while its not being used....ive been wanting to replace the o2 sensors asid say they are original and other stuff like that and yes i will be using all quality products, i dont use cheap crap on the mechanicals lol

thanks for the advice guys... ill be sourcing out an owners manual for it so i know exactly how much of what to use.
