Maintenance queation
Hello all,
Just crossed 50,000 miles on my 2004 coupe......6 speed.
I am second owner.......Stock except for cold air intake.
Going to have the radiator flushed and any debris blown out...........and have the clutch fluid flushed as well.
Any other must do maintenance I should consider? (Yes.....oil changed regularly).
Mike

Check your belts/hoses/filters too if they haven’t been checked for a while.

Great suggestions above!
Another thing I would add is to check your harmonic dampener (harmonic balance), the insure it is still tight with no wobble.
(And you will probably be amazed at what blows out when cleaning the exterior of the radiator.
