Hi everyone,
im getting my car serviced next week and would like to know if theres anything i could do before i take it in to reduce the cost of it. I know chaning the oil/oil filter but i want to leave this to the mechanic
its a 2006 SVZ alloytech, and just hit 200,000, i drive lots
it hasn't been serviced since 178,000
i have bought a fuel filter as the last service said replace fuel filter next service but have no idea how to put it in, any tips? all i know is this from reading some stuff on this forum
- detach a fuse.. dont know where this is
- turn car on until it stops
- take filter out(HOW???) where is it and do i need to jack the car up?
i havent done lots of mechanical things but would really like to learn how to do some basic stuff, thanks heaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also im getting the 195k service which is minor but looked through other things that it doesnt include such as
o Flush coolant
o Lubricate auto transmission shift linkage
o Flush brake fluid material
o Wheel alignment
o Flush brake fluid
o Clean air conditioner/drain tubes
o Replace Auto Trans. Oil
o Replace Auto Trans Filter – Kit
could i do any of them by myself or leave to the mechanic?
also my poewr stering fluid is dark brown.. is this easy to replace?
last thing is that when i go 90kms or faster and turn slightly to the right my steering wheel vibrates, i got a wheel balance but this didnt work any ideas?
THANKS SO MUCH TO WHOEVER REPLIES
