i brought the car 6months ago and asked him when was the cambelt last changed he said he didnt know so i got him put another 1All I could add to your list of service items mate is coolant unless you know its been done?
50/50 mix with distilled water or maybe the 5 year red stuff should do the trick mate
One other thing to consider maybe is your timing belt. Again, unless you know when it was done you should maybe pop it on your shopping list for another day
Either way, good luck with it mate
thanks for your advice mate i seen a kit on ebay fram brand 4 spark plug oil and air filter 21quid plus p&pOn the 8v its supposed to be not as bigger problem if it breaks as the 16v ie, no valves will touch. But for your own piece of mind its well worth doing one day
Kits all over egay but you can get some discount if you donate to this forum I believe and try shop4parts as they do genuine parts.
Well worth doing a search on here as lots have written some great advice. All I would add is, dont be tempted to have the belt too tight and use the timing marks on the new belt as its so much easier that way
As I say though, search well worth doing and maybe if you can get hold of a manual too.
Good luck mate.
a full tank (47litres/10.3gallons) should be getting you 401.7 miles at 39mpg!!
