Club 80-90 Forums

Hi All

I was just trying to find a service schedule for a 1.9 DG and couldn't really find anything online. I was just wondering if anyone has a list of things they do and when? It would also be useful to know how often the timing should be checked? The only thing I found online was this https://www.gowesty.com/tech-article-details.php?id=293 this seems to be american focus and recommending a different oil to what I normally use. (I don't want to open the oil debate up here!)

Many thanks

Lots of info in the Wiki pages, start here https://club8090.co.uk/wiki/Ne ... g_overview

This is what I do

Every week
Oil level and coolant level both tanks, tank with cap on should be brim full

Every year min preferably twice a year ( more if you do silly mileage but most of us don't)
Oil and filter change
15W 40 Mineral is spec I now use 15W50 as it's better for hot oil pressure and these engines suffer from that being low.

may as well throw in an air filter.
Search for coolant or oil leaks.
General inspection of engine including wiring.

Every 2-3 years
Replace coolant G12 or G13 equivilant 50% mix
New Spark plugs
probably a fuel filter also.

That's great many thanks
