New to these forums

Im new to these forums, been using them for a while now.

I have a type-s 07, BNP, stock, completely.

I bought it with 140k miles on it and am wondering if i should be worried about timing belt replacement. The car runs perfect, even with the auto tragic that i had to get at the time because of my wife lol.

My TL's hands free link does not work, ive tried everything to get it to work.
I am concerned with my timing belt.
Whats the best way to clean the engine? (recently came out of the body shop and has nasty dust all over the motor.

THanks! -iSquare

1.) Timing Belt -- There are several threads on here from the past few months discussing this in detail. Most will say yes to worry about it. There are some ways to kind of look for signs if the service was done or not.

2.) HFL -- Common issue for these to fail. Lots and lots of info on here about how to identify, how to attempt repair, and how to replace.

3.) Clean the engine -- Go to the car wash, lift hood, spray the piss out of it.

If you have piss on your engine, it's time for a garage.. or animal removal.

Guess I'm just going to go ahead and do the timing belt next weekend, worry about the HFL later in life, and go spray the piss out of the motor haha.

You can get your Hfl fixed in one week for 45 bucks. Search for Godin technologies on the forum. Everyone uses him for fixing the Hfl
