Hey guys,
My Type S is about to hit 300k kms (~190k miles). I keep up to do date with my regular maintenance like fluids, spark plugs, filters, etc. With my mileage being high and the maintenance schedule stopping at 260k km, I'm left wondering what I should do to make sure I can keep the car running optimally as long as possible.
The engine still pulls great, I had a compression test done a year and a half ago and it's good. Rust free body as I store it in the winter. I've owned it for about 4 years (since it was at 200k km) and in that time I haven't done any huge maintenance items yet.
This is my list so far for 2019:
- Change Transmission Fluid
- Replace Battery Terminals
- Replace Windshield (lots of tiny chips on it)
- Replace Fog Lights (infamously cracked)
- Replace Radiator - Mishimoto Performance Aluminum Radiator + Coolant + Rad Hoses
- Replace Air Filter
- Valve Adjustment
- Replace Brake Fluid
- Clean Idle Control Valve
- Check Spark Plugs
- Replace Timing Chain Tensioner
- Replace Water Pump
- Replace Serpentine Belt + Tensioner
The goal here is preventative replacements on anything that would show wear at this high mileage point. I still want to get as much performance out of it as possible. Anything else you guys would suggest that I should look into doing?
