So my piece of German perfection (not so perfect at the moment) will be coming home next week. While waiting for all things to get sorted, I figured I might as well be pro-active and start looking at servicing parts and oils.
Some background of the car. It has not been started in around 3 years due to a problem it had and followed by some druggies cutting the loom. As previously mentioned, I'm not entirely sure of the extent of the damage to the loom. Do I replace or patch up - this will be ascertained bonce it is in my possession. Prior to this neglect, it was maintained by a German workshop in still and that works on BMW and Opel.
My question; what should I do prior to starting it up if I get to sort the wires out.
Should I drain all oils (engine, coolant, gearbox and diff) or should I just start with engine and get it running before worrying about the others?
What plugs, oil/s to use, filter, oil filter, fuel filter?
Thanks in advance gents.
I'm based in bellville, Cape town
