(a search did not come up with this info) Can any 550 owner tell me how many factory-designated services should have been performed since new, on a 2001 year car? (check your owners manual/warranty book??) (looking at one which PPI's great, but has no service records available......) Low mileage assumes once a year for oil/etc.; unknown visits for tsb's/recalls; once recently for belt service; what am I overlooking? TIA, James
For 2001 : Oil and filters, once a year or after 10,30,50,70 tkm Gearbox, diff oil once every two years or after 10,30,50,70 tkm Check tension and wear of alternator/air temp. control system etc... every three years or after 10,30,50,70 tkm Spark plugs after 10,30,50,70 tkm Timing belts, change every 50tkm, or every 3 years Blow by connection integrity check after 50 tkm Cooling system check after 10,30,50,70 tkm Injection system check after 10,30,50,70 tkm etc etc.... What is date dependent it also : Replace the cleaner on air temperature control system (6 months) Check level of clutch/brake fluid, replace it every year Check power steering level, every 2 years Inspect state of wear of brakes, replace if required, every year Check chassis and box type panels every two years On top of that : Battery check tyres and rims condition check Emission level check road test
