97 Vw Jetta Gl Tuneup

My boyfriend is doing a much needed tune up to my Jetta...He has purchased the following parts

Dist Cap
Dist Rotor
Plugs and Wires
Fuel Filter
Air Filter
Oil Filter
Intake Manifold Gaskets (incase the intake manifold needs to come off)


Does he need anything else??

Any Help would be greatly appreciated!!
:)

Does no one want to help me here?

What's the milage on the car? Dealer history?

Have the belts been changed recently?
And you might want to flush the brake fluid. As well as replace the brakepads.

The mileage is 91K
The timing belt has not been replaced but we have ordered it and going to have it replaced, and he just did the front brakes, and the rears we had done last week.

Dealer History I am second owner, and I dont' have exclusive dealer history

Ok, but you havn't flushed the brake fluid the three years you have owned the car? You should.
You should probably flush and change all fluids.

appreciate the advice however not the answer I was looking for...I should of elaborated...what other parts...will he need that he may not have from that list.

jeez deakins, that pic in your sig is killing me, funny as hell, but definately hard on the eyes.lol

Spark plugs would be a good idea.

That is what i meant by "plugs and wires"

Bahahha, oops. I guess I'm just retarded. Uhh...well in that case, dont forget the blinker fluid.

The blinker Fluid???uhhh yeah ok...smartaleck...:hehe:

No really, my friend with a civic just bought blinker fluid/gas treatment with LED's for only like $100. :rolleyes: :D

You may want to reread the post above...Uh, Yes obviously if we just did the front and the rear brakes...Obviously we Bled all the nasty yuckly fluid from the front, and rear brakes...:eek:

Yeah ok whatever....I may only be a 23 yr old woman but I am not an idiot!! I come in here asking a serious question and all you can do is be saracastic! Nice... :rolleyes:

So I guess next your're gonna tell me I need od fluid too right?

Oh, I'm just messin with ya, trying to be funny. Sounds like a complete tune-up to me. I honestly cant think of anything else he'd have to do to get it running in tip-top shape, except maybe get his transmission serviced. That's something I could use pretty badly myself.

Thanks appreciate it...

Make sure he gets some spark plug wire pullers. Makes the job easier.

What about pulling out the battery and cleaning it up.

Might as well.

Might want to check the hoses for buldges and replace any deformed ones.

I just had the belts replaced on my 95 GLS and just had the plugs and fuel filter replaced. Did the cap and rotor myself. Plan to do the brakes in the spring and I am done for 12 months hopefully!
