FTO AUSTRALIA

Hey ladies and gents, just recently bought a fto and I have a feeling that it has been thrashed, what are some things I should check over to know if it will last me a while or if I need to get something fixed( preferably the major parts)
Hope to hear from use soon!
Cheers

its a 5 speed manual btw !

Wttc! Hopefully it's not as bad as you think. What are the symptoms?

Welcome to the club. Yep, need info and pics to be able to answer that question.

It's not bad but I had a mechanic look over everything and he only found engine mount starting to split witch I'm changing soon, small engine leak witch I still have to find :/ lol
Boot covers cracked and just a militia be bush on right side and normal on left side. Just the gear changing seems a little rough, nothing heaps noticeable but it just feels different from the other cars I have owned haha could be nothing but what are some of the main things that go wrong with fto"s
Oh and how do I tell if it's a gpx etc? Haha the last owner just told me it's a fto

Nolothane bush*** on right side

Sounds like it just needs some maintenance. Easiest way to check if GPX is if the oil cap is on the left hand side of the engine.

Yeah mate it's on the left hand side, sorry I'm new to fto"s and parts of the car in general I've only done smaller things to cars haha

Changing the gearbox oil may well help with the gear changes. Oil leaks arent uncommon. Engine mounts and CV/rack boots commonly need changing (Ebay). You should think about doing the belts and plugs when you fix the oil leak.

Ohkay yeah sweet I will do all that, what's the best oil to use for the gearbox oil ? Thanks heaps mate!

Theres an oil thread on the forum somewhere. It has more info than you could ever want. Havent got the link handy atm, but search for oil thread and you should find it.

Orite no dramas. Thanks heaps!
P.s do you know any good mechanics in Sydney I could take my car too?

Bleed the clutch line and change the box oil
