QuestionDear Bilbo,
I just purchased a 1991 740 with 110,700 miles (no service records were available). I am changing the plugs, wires, cap, rotor and getting the transmission fluid and oil changed.
What else should I think about in terms of maintenance? I really need this car to last another 4-5 years.
Thank you !!
Chris
AnswerHi Chris,
Change fuel filter..rear axle oil...maybe cooling system fluid.
Clean and test battery and terminals and install non-corrosive insert to posts...check belts and hoses..
Chris,there are many other systems that I would change...rack and pinion steering oil..check for stuck calipers..gravity bleed all calipers til clear fluid shows...clean door weatherstriping/seals and spray with silicone..lube door locks and hinges/related hardware...also hood latches/pins...check wiper blades
and squirter liquid/spray.
I really put a full effort into preventive maintenence,most of the above are for that reason.
Happy motoring,
Bilbo
