So the 02 I picked up a couple weeks ago I've done the following:
- Oil/Filter
- Fuel Filter
- Liqui Moly Diesel Purge
- Trans Gear Oil
- Coolant Tank (old one was starting to disintegrate); so dealer did that and a flush
- Suspension is next...I have all the parts for all four corners (she rides a bit boat like on original suspension with 167K
- Various other cosmetic and lighting fixes/preventative parts
TB was done by reputable shop around 8K ago
I've read vacuum hoses should/could be replaced...that necessary? Or just wait until they pose a problem?
Anything else I should do to avoid a "drive to fail"? I'm hoping I can get at least 100K more out of her....200K would be even better! I want her to be as dependable as my '13 TDI (minus the dieselgate shenanigans....). I'd rather get some about to fail wear parts replaced at my convenience versus getting stranded somewhere I guess is how I'm looking at it...lol
