Preventative Maintenance - PM List

[cbatters]

Couple more to add to the list:

o Clean dirt / debis from shift boot on each fillup so it doesn''t cut the leather

o Lubricate active aero bushings (grease)

o Spay active aero motor with WD40

o Undercoating / paint on clutch vacuum chamber and other frame members / bolts.

o Undercoating / paint on rear active-steering / brake lines

Not sure what condition your bay is in now. Worst case you might need to use engine de-greaser but be careful what you put on the rubber/paint. (I think parts cleaner would be a bad idea.)

Some guys swear by Simple Green - Try a search for "Engine Bay Clean"

All I do is spray the engine compartment with foam tire cleaner and spray it down with water from a coin op, followed by WD40 on the electrical stuff / bare metal.

(Mine is easy because I have kept it clean since day one.)

mine is fairly clean. the only thing is that the battery that came in it was corroded horribly. first thing i did when i got the car home and in the garage was pull the battery out. i dont think mine is too bad to where i cant use foam tire cleaner. what do you mean water from a coin op?

Great thread Clint.

The better you all keep that weatherstriping, the less replacements will be needed. new oem is getting harder and harder to find these days.

Recommend replacing active aero to hatch seal when servicing aero parts.

bump. Just found this while searching for some other stuff. Never seen this thread before, but i feel it should be a sticky. If not, it at least gets a fresh bump
