New Purchase Maintenance
New Purchase Maintenance
Still working on the finishing touches on my 06 I purchased just after Thanksgiving. I changed the brake and power steering fluid yesterday and am ready to flush the antifreeze as soon as the thermostat arrives next week. I also replaced the cabin filter and brushed the dirt out of the fan and housings. My cabin filter had been changed but I think only once. It had a Mercedes filter but it had a date code of 10/06 that's after the car was manufactured but only by 2 months. Guessing it was on the shelf for a while.

I have changed the typical fluids on my 2006 UK crossfire, but not the power steering fluid. I am currently reviewing the best approach to use, any info you have would be appreciated.

Re: New Purchase Maintenance
My list; Valve cover & breather gaskets, spark plugs & wires, replace the breather hoses, clean MAF sensor & replace gaskets, power steering fluid flush & replace reservoir.
Re: New Purchase Maintenance
One of these makes the plugs much easier.
