Maintenance 180,000 km

Servicing a vehicle that has reached 180,000 km can vary depending on the make and model, as well as its maintenance history and use.

However, here are a few points to bear in mind when carrying out a service:

• Oil change: after 180,000 km, it is generally recommended to change the engine oil and oil filter.
• Replacement of air, fuel and cabin filters to ensure that the engine runs smoothly and maintains the quality of the air inside the vehicle.
• Replacing spark plugs
  Timing belt check: according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, the timing belt should generally be replaced every 80,000 to 160,000 km travelled.
• Brake system check: brake pads and discs should be inspected and replaced if necessary.
• Check the cooling system: the coolant should be replaced and the cooling system should also be checked.
• Suspension and steering check: Shock absorbers, ball joints and tie rods should be inspected and replaced if necessary to ensure safe and comfortable driving.
• Check the lighting and signal lights.
• Inspect the seatbelts and airbags.

These points are not exhaustive, and it’s important to refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations and the vehicle’s maintenance history to determine what needs to be done during the 180,000 km service.
