[Vwdiesel] Periodic service

[Shalyn Shourds]

Last weekend, I rolled the odometer on the '00 TDI to 300,000 mi.  I stopped in the parking lot of a liquor store in Waco, TX to take a picture.  That should be enjoyable for anyone who knows anything about Waco.  

I've had a number of mechanical issues with the car over the years, but honestly, for the miles driven, I'm more surprised at the number of things I haven't had to fix.  I'm thinking in honor of the occasion, I should fix the car up a little.  The head's only got 150,000 on it, and the timing belt, brake, and suspension systems have been rebuilt recently.  I'm thinking of changing what I'm sure is the original tranny fluid.  The _obvious_ issues are the aesthetic ones--I really need a new headliner, new carpet, and to fix some scrapes.  I guess I'll have to track down a carpet kit.  I'll let someone else put in the headliner--I'd just mess it up.  

Any other recommendations?  

Oh, and thanks to the list--I would have never got the car past 150,000 without the technical help and the encouragement.
