Which bits will need changing to freshen up an old car.
Discussion
I've had my 106 GTI for a couple of years now and the novelty value hasn't worn off, I'm certain that I'll be keeping this for as long as I possibly can.
With that in mind, what things should I be looking to change to 'tighten it up' and make it seem nearly new again - It's a 15 year old car now although it certainly doesn't feel it and only has 60k miles.
I've already changed cam belt, radiator, water pump and head gasket. It's had new discs and pads all round and has good tyres on.
Past that I'm not too sure what it would benefit from, the first thing I'm thinking of is brake fluid? I'm pretty sure it won't have been changed for a good while. Would gearbox fluid change make a difference? The gearchange is probably the poorest part of the whole car.
Following that should I be looking at suspension? Poly bushes? Underseal?
