40K Service>>>
Going in for the 40K mile service in a week. I'm getting together my list of everything I want/need done. I've searched the forum and found lots of stuff that I'm doing. I wish I remembered who posted this, but here's some of the stuff...
Engine Oil - Change the oil.
Engine Oil Filter - Replace the oil filter.
Engine - Check for leaks.
Cooling System - Check the coolant level. Add coolant if necessary.
Exhaust System - Check for damage and leaks.
Engine, On-Board Diagnostic - Check Diagnostic Trouble Code Memory. Purge if necessary,
where applicable.
Doors - Lubricate door hinge mechanism.
Battery - Check electrolyte level. Add if necessary.
Windshield Wiper and Washer - Check fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
Manual Transmission - Check gearshift mechanism and clutch for proper interlock operation.
Tires and Spare Wheel - Check for wear and damage. Check the pressure.
Service Reminder Indicator Display - Reset the display.
Brake system - Check for damage and leaks. Check thickness of pads and brake fluid level.
Drive Shafts - Check the boots.
Road Test - Check braking, kick-down, steering, electrical, heating and ventilation systems, air conditioning and power accessories.
Lights - Check the lights.
Front Axle - Check dust seals on ball joints and tie rod ends. Check tie rods.
Haldex Clutch - Change oil and filter.
Power Steering Fluid - Check fluid level. Add if necessary.
Dust and Pollen Filter - Replace filter.
Headlights - Inspect headlights. Adjust if necessary.
Air Cleaner - Replace filter element.
Spark Plugs - Replace the plugs.
Am I missing anything? I'm mostly concerned about the big stuff, but of course want everything that's supposed to be done to be done.
Thanks! And I hope others can use this list, too!
