Coupe Random Little Question Thread
In general though, for a "Major" tune up, here's the items I would replace:
Spark Plugs
PCV Valve
Serpentine Belts (ie drive belts)
Air Filter
Oil and Filter Change
Trans Fluid
Diff Fluid
Coolant Flush
Brake & Clutch Fluid Change
Power steering fluid change
In-Cabin Air Filter
Inspect & Grease all bushings, joints, and hinges
Now I know most of that isn't included in that $300 tune up price quote, but it's a good list of things to go off of. Most scheduled maint services from the dealer includes only replacing a few things, then inspecting a lot of items (that cost extra if they need attention).
I went to change my air filter today and noticed the intake tube kind of looked like a z-tube. can anyone tell me if this is a z-tube?

Fair enough, not everyone is able to work on their own cars and that's perfectly fine.

I stay in California btw and thank you for responding.
I recently put in a new air filter because the previous owner had not changed it for a long time, it was almost fully blocked. after my new filter the car runs ALOT better but now it shoots out a lot of moisture and carbon comes out. Is this normal? should I worry about it?
Thanks
