Hello All!
Awesome forum and an incredible amount of information you all have here. Thank you all very much.
I just picked up a 2009 EOS with mileage just under 30k. Thrilled so far, cars in great shape, seems to run fine, and all the functions of the top and sunroof appear to be working fine. However, after reading for hours (thank you) I realize I have few tasks to accomplish.
- the past service records are a bit sketchy. Planning on hitting up the local “stealer” to give a proper oil change, take care of an ABS recall, get a 2nd key, and to give the vehicle a thorough once over. Thoughts on a transmission fluid service are welcome...
- then planning on getting the car over to a trusted import garage to get the timing chain tensioner swapped out. My car would have been eligible for reimbursement if this was a year ago and blah blah blah. At this point should I get the chain swapped out with the tensioner too? Think I saw mention of water pump somewhere also.
- I already ordered and have some Krytox GPL105, plan on following the 30 page pdf this weekend for my first rail/seal lube job (thanks again).
That may take care of my immediate concerns, but if you fine folks have any other ideas, I’m more than happy to listen.
Thanks!
