Hey my car has just hit a little of 122k and on my cpu dash screen it just told me 600 miles until service.
What exactly do i need to "buy" in order to have it serviced? Im just not exactly sure what needs to be done,
if yall could help me out then i would appreciate it. I have a 2001 225 for those that don't know.

 

Most likely just routine fluids - filters - checks etc. Pretty soon you'll be ready for a second timing belt replacement.

 

Well It all depends on alot of thing but if i was you since you just did a big turbo upgrade i would change every single fluid and filter depending on how long it was since the last change but thats what i would do...I mean everything Haladex, Transmission, Oil, Power Stering, Brake, Coolant...I think thats it windshield lol all the filters including fuel etc...but i dont know the history of what you had done in the past lets say 20k miles

My timing belt lasted almost 100k miles It had never been done till 99k i think the 60k change is bs but thats me Its better to change it rather than it break and it cost nothin if you DIY

 

Its just a random reminder. There is a reset preccedure floating around in a search.

 

Mine is usually set for 8,000mi oil changes I believe.

 

I was at my shop getting my routine oil change and i was asking about my tranny fluid and they told me to make sure im supposed to change it because mercedez and bmw recommend never changing the tranny fluid. I need a coolant flush and im not sure how to do the haldex and brake fluids. I should also change my fuel filter, and ill be getting bigger injectors very soon to so those will go on as well.

 

can someone send me the link to the site with TT's on all diff rims i cant remember what it is

The stock fluid is classified as "lifetime" fluid. however most change it with redline MT-90 fluid and see a nicer 1-2 shift. All the parts needed for that is at ecs. Also flushing brakes is all the same, there should be a how to floating around. Coolent, just pull the drain on the bottom of the rad and let the fluid drain out. Then pour in a couple gallons of distilled water and run the car for a min and then drain again. After that, you can fill with G12 and distilled water. Refrain from tap water and additives.

 

I changed my tranny fluid around 76k. It was pretty clean, but replacing it with MT-90 made it a lotttttt smoother. Also, if you don't have the 12-point security heads on your drain/fill plugs, you can just buy a set of big hex sockets from AutoZone for something like $7. Mine was just the plain hex bolt.
