Going up to look at dying leaves in the mountains next week and I'll be taking my '88 245 with 200k on it for a 1500 mile round trip drive. I am changing the oil and doing all the obvious stuff but I was wondering if anyone had advice about additional things to do, bring and buy before I head out.
The car runs great and I have taken good care of it in the 2 years that I've had it, but one thing I neglected is the fuel filter. So the other day I stuck my head under the car to see where it was and was shocked to find it with years worth of corrosion and rust on it, I think I am running on the original! I'd assume a 17 year old fuel filter would really hurt the performance on a fuel system, we'll see. Also I am going to take advantage of the highway time to try and clean the injectors so if anyone has any suggestions on fuel additives to run through the system I would appreciate it also. Thanks as always! James
