Post subject: | Preventive maintenance while the CRD is having some time off |
Hey guys, I'm about to get a new car (Audi SQ5 ![]() Replace MAP sensor Replace hoses Clean out intake area (can somebody point me to a DIY for this???) Intake Elbow Kit (Already has GDE eco tune) I've had the GDE eco tune and EHM since about 65k miles and at 91k miles I replaced the serp belt, timing belt, water pump. Any suggestions? I don't want to do anything that's a major expense and I'm pretty handy but not so good that I can pull the whole engine out. Thanks! |

Also will probably replace the CCV since it's not too expensive and should be easy, right? |

Well, it's been a year and I've done a grand total of zero of the above things. Life kinda got in the way ![]() Anybody have any other suggestions? What about transmission/transfer/diff fluids? Or is there any worthwhile upgrade I could do to them? CV joints?? Thanks! |

Front CV axles: replace when they go bad Front drive shaft CV joints: the joint up against the transfercase has a tendancy to go bad and make a jingling noise Front lower ball joints: inspect them. Any detectable movement or slop means they need replacment Transmission upgrade: the TransGo shift kit is popular. Also might want to upgrade the torque converter if you experience shudder Transmission fluid/filters, diff oils, transfercase fluid: follow whats reccomended in the owners manual Maybe consider replacing the shocks? |
