I have done oil changes every 5000km and have changed the diff bushes. Is there anything else I should be keeping my eye on while approaching the big 200K mark?

Found out the turbo only had 2 bolts left in it and they were barely hanging on! Was making a loud ticking sound prior now all fixed. I have had issues with the high pressure power steering hose with a minor leak Ill take your advice and change the whole hose :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
