996 GT3 MK1 Maintenance

[Nabil]

:Coffe:


My car has been parked for almost a year in not a perfect environment, so taking in consideration the weather here in Dubai (heat, humidity and dust) what should I look for to maintain the car before I drive it again? Things I NEED to change and things I'd better change? Spark plugs? Pipes? Oils? Anything in specific?

Appreciate your inputs

Cant wait! :shisha:

Oh and :1stcup: to Falcons and Bruno :bow:

Power steering is the first thing u lose if ur car is parked for a long time in a harsh environment ! I'd suggest you make a full inspection on your bushes as well !!

Engine Replace :
1) Spark plugs and wires
2) Oil/Filter
3) Coolant flush

Engine Check :
1) Spark plug wires
2) Valve cover gaskets, they dry up and start to leak, but they wont show for some time
3) ICV valve
4) Seals and gaskets for oil leakage

Gearbox replace :
1) Oil

Gearbox Check :
1) Oil seals and gaskets for oil leakage
Differential :
1) Oil, not that necessary as it is heavy duty anyway and lasts pretty long.
2) Check shaft seals and gaskets for any sign of leakage

Others :
1) PS oil and line, oil replacement recomended.
2) BRAKE OIL ! Replacement and a good bleeding or two.
3) Brake pad resurfacing with sandpaper ? Not that necessary.
4) ALL oil coolers, lines and fittings.

Electrical :
1) Battery/Terminals
2) Fuse box and fuses for any sign of corrosion or oxidation due to humidity.

Suspension :
1) Leaking shocks
2) Bushings for cracks and/or deformation

Tires :
1) Check for flat spots, even if not present replacement is recomended.

1. All bushings

4. Flush the coolant
5. Check all engine/drive belts
6. Brake linings, flush and add new brake oil too
7. Check the leaks for transmission and axles
8. Gear Mountings
9. Check the hoses for any leak and change if possible
10. Check air condition
11. Tires
12. Finally, a FULL DETAIL !!

Thats all i can think of for a full service..
