Suggested Preventative Servicing

This section provides a list of suggested preventative servicing measures based upon owners experience particularly of higher mileage cars.

Miles Kms Action Type Action Notes
50k 80k Experienced ARB bushings Inspection & based upon usage and feel
50k 80k Mandatory Rear suspension bushings Inspection & based upon usage and feel
80k 128k Preventative Vanos seals Based upon high rpm power loss or tell tale noises!
70-100k 110-160k Preventative Rod Bearings Based upon how hard a life, mileage, track use & of course known servicing history(or not!)
