Today the car went in for a verry big make over.

What is done to the car?
- new engine oil
- new oil filter
- new air filter
- new polfilter for the heating/cooling of the cabin
- new transmission oil lowest reccommended
- new rear drive axle oil (differential) lowest reccommended
- new thermostat ( i was feeling that it didnt fully closed during engine warm up)

The dieselfilter is still good for another 30 000km.
Thats the benefit of ecomodder. Using less fuel. Keeps the filters cleen for longer

And this is a bummer. The carguy checked the tire pressure....
Lowered it from 3bar (rear and 3,2 bar front. Max sidewall is 3 bar. 44psi) to 2 bar... (29psi)...

So back to the station to air up the tires

Ive also got my yearly bonus in. Witch is 100€ close to a new turbo fitted. So after winter is ended. There is going to be a new turbo for this car. The current one is whining verry hard... VNT are not stuck. Only play at the shafts. So its going to be rebuild

I keep you updated if the coolant is faster at operating temperature or not...
