Hi,

Im gonna be giving my car a right good service soon and just want to make sure I havent forgotten anything.

Coolant

Filters
Oil Filter, Sump plug washer

Going to be doing pads and air filter seperatley aswell as Cambelt and Aux.

Anything else I need?

Cheers

Dont need the gasket, and you only need 1 washer

Also, not sure on the fuel filter, someone else will clarify

 

[Bramley]

ah yer didnt mean to put 2 sump plug washers on.

I have been told that you should replace the gasket when replacing the spark plugs?

Power steering fluid??

 

[Bramley]

Power steering fluid??

I was thinking this, does it really need to be replaced?

-shrugs-

 

[Bramley]

why you doing air filter seperateley?
you dont need a gasket either it will be rete
fuel filter is inside the tank so you dont need that
oh an spray some wd40 on all door, bonnet, and boot joints

Ah I like the WD40 idea.

Its actually in the tank? Thought it was just near it under the arch or there abouts?

Does the gasket not break? or is it fine to put back together?

Gasket is metal iirc

 

[Dunn]

Yea its pressed metal so dont worry about it

yea wd40 is something i always mention lol its the little touches that go a long way

yea iirc the fuel filter is inside the tank and doesnt need changing until 150k miles unless you have a phase 1

in which i think that is on the outside of the tank

Ah right i cant imagine pressed metal will break!

Yer I just read up its on inside and 150k. So that saves me 16 quid.

You seem to have covered all the service items well. As for the plenum/inlet gasket, only change it if it is damaged, usually a clean up job is all that is required.
