Service due

jrich4411 · 10-27-2009, 05:03 PM

I called the dealer today and scheduled my next service for Thursday - the indicatator gave me 200 miles left as of this morning. That will put me at 43000. I also told them that their is a clunking noise to look at, and that it was suggested to me that the strut brace bolts need to be re-torqued. I asked them to re-torque those bolts regardless as well as re-torque the engine mount bolts. Finally, I said that that I don't believe that the brake fluid and coolant has ever been changed, so verify that and change if necessary.

Any other suggestions as to what I should have done? FWIW, I will be putting the car up for the winter in 3 to 6 weeks depending on when winter hits up here in New Hampshire

Does the SI show "OIL" or "INSPECTION"?
If it indicates "INSPECTION" then that would be Inspection II which includes spark plugs, tranny fluid, diff oil, air filter element, plus all the Inspection I stuff (Valve adjustment, cabin filter, and oil change).

Brake fluid should be replaced every two years.
