My girlfriends K11 is about to hit 185,000kms, and since the car has held up an almost bomb proof reliability until now, I wanted to make sure it could keep going until its next milestone(200k :glare
The car has not had the best service history, last year it ran for a whole summer with no water in the coolant reservoir and with almost no engine oil :suspect: Never overheated and never showed signs of trouble though (Y)
Brake discs were probably changed around 100k, suspension is still the original and the car sways with the wind :laugh:...I would like to change the shocks, if I do then I would like to also change the bushes
Now the car is starting to feel really sluggish, and I suspect it may have to do with the spark plugs (i'm guessing they were changed more than 2 years ago :doh
So far this is the list of things that need to be done...feel free to correct and/or add
The car is a 1.0 CG10DE CVT, 09/2000 44kw
anyone know of any tools other than what I mentioned that I might need? I'm planning on picking up a set of tools (http://www.itslondon.co.uk/pd_STA194656_194656_Stanley50Piece14and12DriveSocketSet.htm) Seems to be a good set of tool for oil change, spark plug etc...
I'll update the list as soon as I get a hold of the maintenance booklet with the specific tasks Nissan recommends..
The overall problem is the price I will be quoted for the labour...I can get most of the stuff off ebay luckily saving quite a bit fwn
ciao

- Spark Plugs (NGK BKR5E-11, these can be taken out with a deep reach plug spanner 16mm right?)
- Air Filter, Oil Filter and Fuel Filter
- Oil Change 5w-30 MOTUL 8100 X-CESS or 5W-40 Sint2000 (budget related choice) Anyone know the exact size of the oil pan bolt and washer? 11mm?
- Brake discs and pads + DOT4 brake fluid, pads were changed in 2008 along with brake caliper pistons :suspect:
- CVT Oil - Dexron III, problem will be finding the filter..and dealing with the price!
- Shock Absorbers...Code for the front shocks seem to be MM-13312 MM-13313 and MM-13414 for the rear...could anyone confirm?
- Polyurethane Bushes, hopefully it will help make the wheel a little more precise and responsive while reducing lateral movement
