sorry for a long post hehe.i'm not even sure if this is in the right forum place.hehe plz dont flame me.thought that this belongs in the p5 section cause i'm talking about a p5 haha
ok i got a '03 p5(sportauto) almost half a year ago from a previous owner.they kept all records of the car (oil changes,tires,etc) but i noticed that they didnt have any tune up records. according to the dealership's computers, they didnt take it in for any tune up or any checks(they just changed oil for the recommended mileage or months).lately i've been smelling a little sulfur smell when the car is idle. my dad said that the emission from the catback is giving too much or too little emissions or something like that.i'm kinda worried lol.i was also reading in the owners manual and it says a few tune up things such as coolant flush, air filter, and spark plugs,etc.(did coolant flush and changed air filter to k&n)
anywayz i've been noticing my rpms are going a bit high when in idle but gets lower when its warm.my mom was sitting in the car next to me and said that the idle is a bit rough(kinda feels like my grandpa's '89 civic) the cockpit is like vibrating kinda alot.this was when the engine was pretty warmed up.my dad said that spark plugs could cause this.i live in hawaii so i dont think the vics or vtcs(whatever it was hehe)is causing the problem.also i check about the butterfly screw recall and found out my car is not part of it.(made in like '02.my car is like a '02.5 actually)
well it comes down to my questions. xD what should i ask them to tune up and stuffs when i take it to the dealership on feb.19th? i know i gotta get my cat checked, my rear passenger's window motor sounds like its dying so the warranty should take car of it, perhaps get spark plugs changed.is there anything else? the previous owners skipped the maintanence checks so i gotta get it done.(at almost 50k so my warranty is almost up too ends at the end of Feb.) thanks in advance xD btw this car is my first car so it has to last me through college( i'm a senior now) i'm hoping that it can last that long hehe cause i love it
