Rear seat backs?
When was the last time any of this was done to the car? |

Re: Time for a bunch of preventative maintenance
If you are going to be doing so much on the engine, why not also replace the vac lines with new ones?

Re: Time for a bunch of preventative maintenance
I had pieces replaced on my rear seats. I have the split back seats. The area between the seats split. She did a great job fixing it. Not the whole seat is leather. That is what she told me. Only where you sit ,[IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...189e400a92.jpg[/IMG]
We left it looser so there is not as much stretch |

20ft of 3mm vac line will do 95% of the hoses under there. Also get new intake gaskets.

I would even go do far as to suggest changing the more easily accessible coolant lines. There are a few of them scattered around under there that will be in the same condition as the vac lines. |

Re: Time for a bunch of preventative maintenance
Oy! You guys are trying to bankrupt me here!
I will probably spread this stuff out a little. I'm thinking of doing it in a few waves separated by 3-4k miles. Of the stuff I listed and everything you guys have added, what things are logically lumped together? And, of those groups, are any of them good for DIY where the DIYer doesn't have a lot of specialized tools, experience and time. Remember, I drive this thing daily and pretty much just have the weekends to work on it. |
Re: Time for a bunch of preventative maintenance
If you need the passenger knock sensor, I have one I'm no longer using since I doubt I'll be driving the SVX any more.

Re: Time for a bunch of preventative maintenance
The most "special" tool you'll need for any of this is a vice lol. Just a normal set of sockets and wrenches and extensions.
Pick up a torque wrench from HF if you don't already have one. They're cheap and work great. |

Re: Time for a bunch of preventative maintenance
I have a new to me bugeye wagon that I'm going to be enjoying from now on :)
I'm 50/50 on selling the svx or keeping it as a weekend car. |
