hi all
i recently bought this 1998 avant for £600 with 115k on the clock with a knackered cat, now thats been done for £140, she runs sweet and in service book it had a cam belt 28k ago(3year) , but its been 13k since last service , so i just ordered up oil and filter, fuel filter, air filter, plugs and new thremostat(as she runs cold on motor way). i plan to get this done at weekend if the weather is nice to me,
but i have a couple of questions:-
1 , can i use standard anti-freeze(bluecol) as i have loads of it at work and it will save few quid ??
2, what gear oil does my gearbox need (ep90???)
3 ,is there anythink i should look out for as common problem??
4, how can i get rid of the serv/inspec light??? or does it have to go to dealer????
many thanks
john
