spritefiend Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Over the weekend I bought a 2005 LGT Limited 5mt with ~122k mi or so and I'm looking for ideas on some maintenance that I should do. Plan on changing the oil, air filter, pretty much all other fluids: brake, power steering, coolant, trans etc. Looking for any idea's on some other stuff I should do while I'm at it? Thanks!

Gex Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm guessing the 105k timing belt and water pump was done? If not get the gates kit from one of the site vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritefiend Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'll have to check the paperwork I have and with the previous owner and see if it was completed. Hadn't thought of that at all though, so ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spritefiend Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Funny story, at 80k miles the majority of the engine was replaced when one of the previous owners continued to run it after a really bad head gasket leak. It overheated and obliterated most of the engine. Short block, turbo, fuel injectors, radiator, and several other items were replaced. It is a 5mt. Oil change is planned haha Thanks for the replies so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
