Looking to carry out basic service on my 2001 26.6 V6 can I just confirm the parts that I should be chaning:
Oil & Filter
Air Filter
Pollen Filter
Spark Plugs
Grease (for Hinges etc)
Is there anything else?
Cheers
:D

dont forget to check over all your pipe lines aswell

Thank Marie will do
:y

big V6 ! lol,,,, fuel filter ? ;)
-
If it's due spark plugs it's also probably due timing belt and rollers as well, also consider water pump. Yes I know you said basic service but plugs last as long as the timing belt pulleys.

Thanks guy's only bought the car this week and the garage changed the cam belt, tensioners etc but did'nt do a service. the vehicle had been SORN'd since last January so I think the basic service is called for don't you.
Brakes and Tyres seem ok plus a new MOT was done.
Cheers
be a bit thirsty if it was 26.6 ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'd do a brake service (just clean them up, see if all OK), but also a brake fluid change.
Breather clean (may need some new O rings) may be worthwhile, as its true history is unknown. Same applies to coolant, change it.

Thanks someone else mention cleaning the breathers as there was a creamy deposit on the oil filler cap this morning. however I don't think I can do this myself and this will have to be a garage job unfotunately
:(

No, but plenum needs to come off to do the throttle body (which you'd do at same time). Nice and easy.
Take up Entwood's offer to point you in right direction - you'll only need to be shown once :y
-
Will do.
Thanks again for your help. Seems stupid to take the car to a garage when you can possible Do It yourself
;D :y

You will get a proper job if you do it yourself. Most dealers and garages give you a half-arsed job at best. Don't think for a second that you get a premium job just because you pay premium money at a dealer...

I know it's just having the confidence to do it.

V6CDBOY can you fix your avatar please

As said in the other thread ... we'll work something out ... I did breathers and cam-covers at the side of the road as no access to a garage, and this was the first job I ever did on a miggy, closely followed by front discs and pads, oil change and coolant flush ... then I traded the car for this one ... which has also had a breather clean and a couple of oil changes.
I've never done a thermostat (hope to learn that one soon .. :) ) or a cam belt, although I have the locking kit...

You're a star (See Other Thread)
