Servie Interval Question
 

Hi guys,

I'm a newcomer to 944s and I have a few questions.

I am looking at buying a 1986 Turbo. It has low 60,000 miles distance travelled . The owner has sent me his service records as below-

Distances are in Kilometers

9/86 3K Oil Change and Service
2/87 10K "
9/87 18K " "
6/88 26k "
5/89 ? ? ? book stamped no other entries
7/90 41K " "
5/91 49K " "
3/92 62k " " Brake and Coolant changed
3/93 73K " "
12/94 79k "
3/96 81k " " Brake and coolant changed
6/97 84k "
7/98 86k "
7/99 88k "
5/00 91k " Timing and Balance Belts changed
5/01 94K "
11/04 96K " "
11/05 98K " "
6/07 99K stamped but no other entry

I am concerned in that the coolant hasn't been changed in what looks like 12 years even though the car has travelled only 18000 kilometers it is a long time.
Does anyone out there know what the interval is. Judging by the previous records it looks like 4 years.


Any other comments would be appreciated.

Regards,
Greg.

Greg,
4 to 5 years is max on antifreeze-Long Life style.
The numbers show the car was driven 2-4 thousand KM between servicing. Can you get additional reciepts/records from the owner? Have a PPI done in any case.

I saw a couple other turbos on http://carpoint.com.au/

You may get additional help on the Pelican turbo forum.
