Sparky Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Usually they check air filter and replace if need beChange the spark plugs and check the leads and possibly replace them aswell.They also change the oil and oil filterCheck brake pads and shoes, replace or clean with brake cleaner if necessaryCheck suspension for leaks or damaged bushes etcThen check water and other fluid levels like brake fluids, screen wash etcHope this helps I may have missed some points out aswell but you get the idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza_Ragger Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 As my good man Sparky said, Can also change the fuel filter as well as giving all the turbo oil lines a flush out, flushing youre idle control valve out with carb cleaner, along with the breather lines like the pcv valve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tahiti Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Depending on mileage, they may also change cambelt, coolant etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Depends how long it was since the last service and other things too.I'm pretty sure my car hasn't been serviced for a long time (was owned by an old man who had full service history on it then after he passed it down to his daughter I don't think she had even bothered to lift the bonnet at all).Soon I'm going to be doing:Air filterSpark PlugsHT leadsRotor ArmDistributor CapFuel FilterOil filter + oil changebrake pads+shoesand as tahiti already said, the belts aswell (my fanbelt squeeks sometimes ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
