Hey guys i was looking to get advice on a tune up on my 03 CL type S that just hit a little over 200 thousands miles not really sure what to tune up at this point besides filters spark plugs any ideas would help thanks an advance
anything that is worn out or broken.
any fluids that havent been changed out in a while.
coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid. any and all fluid.
brake pads and rotors?
suspension?
any thing that is broken.
fix it or replace said broken items.
how about hoses? any hoses that are brittle or weak? change them.
any corroded grounding cables? replace them.
basically look throughout the entire car to find anything that is broken or worn out.

Anything that is worn out. though be careful; chances are that if you haven't been keeping up on maintaining all the various bits; you'll find things that need to be replaced on the way to replacing what you originally intended to replace. For example ignition coils when replacing spark plugs; or ball joints, bushings or tie rods when you just wanted to replace a few end links.
recommend same as 105k service. such as spark plugs, timing belt and valve adjustment.
Yup. This tuneup is every 105k miles OR every 7 years. Age is much more a concern with the timing belt and seals, than mileage. So I'd definitely do the timing belt, water pump, rear main seal, plugs, and valve adjustment now.
