its service time

[andy on blackberry]

Right my marea weekend is coming up to service time its a 100 16v for those of you that don't know so what would be the bits I need and what's recommended

From what I can think of its
Oil and filter
Plugs & leads

Is there anything else that I have missed and what parts would be best without breaking the bank


Cheers andy

depends on what the mileage is, but id change (considering i sell service kits to garages all day long)

plugs, oil, oil filter, air filter (i think u have induction kit though) and run some fuel treatment through will improve it a little.

She's a monster soon to be revealed

If they didnt want it stripping they shouldnt have used nuts and bolts

 

[andy]

yes i have an induction kit fitted

and the mileage is only 43500

Can't see the point in replacing the leads unless they are creating a misfire. Plugs yes, leads no.

Don't forget new copper ring washer for the sump plug.

Usually you'd be needing to change:

Oil
Oil Filter
Possibly gearbox oil (depends how fussy you are)
Pollen filter (if present)
Wiper blades (if needed)
Sump plug washer
Sparks
Air filter
Coolant top up
Wiper bottle top up

Check:

Wishbones, CV joints, suspension dampers, springs, brake pipes, brake cylinders, shoes/pads, discs/drums, exhaust and mounts, tyres and wheel bolts, bulbs, horn, door hinges (grease), locks, wiper functionality, rocker cover leakage, general leaks.

I'm sure there's more but its a start

Oh yes.... Check Tesco for prices of Redex - sometimes they do monster deals on it.

Forte Fuel Treatment I find rather good though. Pricier and its trade only (but can obtain via ebay) but seems to work well in clearing things out, especially for a MOT.

i wouldnt use redex..there are sooo much better stuff on the market now.

and asfor brands. a filter is a filter and they all do the same thing really...although fram and mahle are very well known brands

well glad you mentioned about the gearbox oil i had mine changed about 5000 miles ago when the clutch was changed wasn't sure if people changed it or not

also had exhaust done
wishbone bushes changed
and had a general look over it

mmmmmm hadn't thought about redex or petrol treatment might give that ago since the mot is due end of july

@ insy do you still have your brake disks for sale if so could you text me please
