New owner questions

[dgentileksu]

All,

Thanks for the quick responses and advice! I plan to get both the RMS and coolant tank fixed before I head out at the end of the month. Just not sure if I want to do it at the Stealership that did the 60k mile or find a good private party wrench in the bay area.

As for extra preventitive maintenance, would you recommend replacing the water pump and clutch at the same time to save costs downrange? So far I have not had a problem with the clutch, but I know one of the previous owners had tracked the car...

Also, I got a carfax report, but would like to start building a maintenance history file on the box. Any advice on how to track down prior maintenance records with 3 previous owners?

Thanks again,

Dave

Dave,

Have the clutch done when you do the RMS. This will kill two birds with one stone ( they have to access the clutch unit for the RMS replacement )...

Only way I know of to track down the service records is to go to the dealers that did prior work on the car, and I have heard that some of them are hesitant to release this information for some reason

Congrats and enjoy !

Nick
