Like the title says, I'm preparing TAZ, my 520iA, for an aprox 5000km road trip. The Mrs aka The Dungeon Keeper planned our vacation, or better said, HER vacation in such a way that I'll be driving more than I'll be relaxing.
That being acknowledged I decided that brand new front bearings, brakes, polyurethane bushings, integral links, rear bushings and some miscellaneous bits and bobs like tailgate struts and wiper blades were to be fitted. Rest of the suspension was done 2 years ago( front+back complete suspension kits and new socks), oil change and a GB oil and filter change.
I went with *** for bearings, Ate for brake disks, brake fluid and caliper grease, Brembo for the pads and shoes, Lemfroder for the integral links and bushings, Powerflex for polyurethane bushings, Castrol GTX 5W-40 and a complete ZF transmission service kit.
The salty climate of Denmark is taking it's toll on the car even though it sits in the garage. Lots of the bolts were beginning to rust. Obviously headaches were expected and they didn't fail to appear. Patience and perseverance is the key... and reinventing the holy bible of romanian curses. In the end success was achieved.
