Just thought we could get a few points of view on periodic maintenance for these toys.

Also if anyone has the Service Schedule for them too.

Maybe note in the top corner the vehicle you are referring to when you post a maintenance item for example so fpv differences or what not can be deciphered.

We've seen thus far:

10k intervals to WD40 your wastegate solenoid.

50k " " change fuel filter.

5k oil and filter (if your pedantic on servicing.)

100k Coils.

Please make adjustments or additions guys... Hope this makes maintenance easier for everyone... Enjoy!

One of the most important things that I forgot, if you still have it fitted, is the turbo oil supply screen.

It should be cleaned every oil change.

If not inspected and cleaned it can become blocked over time, causing oil starvation to the turbo bearings. If that happens bye bye turbo bearing cartridge, hello expensive repairs.

Very important to at least check it.

The screen is fitted in the oil supply pipe to the turbo yes.

It is located on the side of the block below the inlet manifold.

To get it out you need to remove the sender unit from the fitting that comes out of the block and then remove the nut on top of the oil pipe. You can clean it out with contact cleaner or carby cleaner and refit it.

Have a read about it in here.

Some say remove it, some say keep it. I will be keeping mine as I know the history of my car and it serves a purpose.
