Wow, thanks for the great write-up!

Yes, it does have the nivomat leveling system. I haven't checked the diff fluid myself, so I'll do that. I've been having a specialist shop handle timing belt related changes, and all driveline/suspension bushings as well. They just did the ball joints and front torsion bar bushings recently, and the timing belt on schedule about 10K ago. I've been doing most of the oil changes and ATF changes (both synthetic) myself.

I know the brake fluid has been refreshed recently, but I'll have to look into the last coolant refresh (the driver's guide says I shouldn't need to be changed).

I glad to hear that the drivetrain is so durable, thanks.

Bill
