Hi,

430K km eh? Are you in Canada? If so, what province? Did you check the FAQ section yet? VERY helpful, lots of reading though. Here's a few pointers; If the tranny (as mentioned) and PS fluid (both ATF) are not clean, flush them. I wouldn't go more then 5K km between oil changes if you are using non-synthetic oil. Allow the turbo to cool (2-5 min) after hwy or hard driving. Check your heater control valve (behind engine near fire wall) and consider replacing it if it looks original. Change the brake fluid if it doesn't look clean. Change the rear diff fluid and put in synthetic 80W90 if you can find some (improve fuel economy). Check for water leaks on the passenger's side (blower motor). There are many more things you can do. I'm sure other members will chime in :)
