jamie28 · Aug 20th, 2012, 20:54

I purchased a 2006 D5 geartronic with 78k a few weeks back.it has some history and all the old MOT,s ( not my first choice but an operation ment i needed a car quick) I had an S60R and a few T5,s before but its time to slow down and spend less on fuel

500 miles later and there are no nasty suprises just a slight hiss under boost so i guess its intercooler time and a worn top mount .
im going to carry out a service and some preventative maintenance before a remap hence a few questions

Has anyone flushed the fluid of the 6 speed geartronic ? gearshifts are fine but the fluid must be as burnt as my cooking after 6 years

Are there any guides on cleaning the EGR and PCV systems ?

Can anyone recommend a cheap laptop/vadis from ebay

Apart from filters and oils is there anything else i need to do or look out for ? in getting 30 in london traffic and 45 on a 85 mph run ,I have a heavy boot so in fairly chuffed

Lastly some D5,s seem more noisy than others any reasons?

Lots of questions but thanks in advance
