CNY is round the corner. So those brothers whose driving back hometown, must drive carefully and safely. Other than that, must also keep the car in good running condition la... So this is what I've compiled as summary.
1) If your engine oil is due or almost due, replace it.
2) Check your battery water level / battery indicator for maintenance free battery.
3) Check your tires. Not only the thread but also the wall. I had cracked walls in the inner part of the tires once though the thread has 70% left. Simply becos the tires were 4.5 years old already. Yes, car was severely underutilized.
4) Check your radiator coolen level. Top up if necessary.
5) Check your brake fluid level. Top up if necessary.
6) Check your power steerling fluid level. Top up if necessary.
7) Check your ATF fluid level. If you see black dust in the fluid, time to change too.
8) Check/wash your K&N filter or replace new ones if paper type.
9) Check your windscreen washer water level.
10) Check your spare tire air, make sure it's fully inflated.
11) Check if all your car tools are in place.
12) Have a bottle of mineral water store as spare. Also keep some cable ties and wire tapes (aka Loytape)
13) Check all your vacuums pipe and intercooler clamps are tighten.
14) Notice engine bay if there's anything 'abnormal' like new wet spots or dangling wires/cables/pipes.
15) Check your brake pads. It's not easy to notice the pads but if you find abormalities like scrapping sound, time to have them replaced.
16) Increase the boost to 1.8 bar with a manual boost controller.
Then have a safe driving back kampung and enjoy the journey.
PS: Performing steps no.16 at your own risk. The writer holds no responsibility to any damage occur to your car. Hehehehe......
