My little diary of what I've done and planned for the car. I'll try to add some pictures along the journey.

Bought it a month ago, 120tkm/74k miles on the odometer.

Asked nicely and dealer did the motor and CVT oil change in connection with the sale.

After a couple of days while driving on the highway I felt a strong vibration on steering wheel while braking, the front brake discs were crooked. Got them replaced for free. Rear brakes and PCV valve are ordered and waiting for installation (going to do it by my self). Also booked a time for the front and rear differential oil change.

Then I ordered a rear wiper delete kit from UK and got rid of the rear window scratcher. Huge impact for the look with a small amount of work imo :D.

Oh and the winter came so had to change the tires yesterday. Just in time... (18 hours between the pictures believe it or not haha)

So, allready done:
- Motor oil and CVT oil change​
- Front brake discs and pads​
- Rear wiper delete​
- Engine and cabin air filter​
Next to do:
- Rear brake discs and pads​
- Front and rear differential oil change​
- General cleaning (MAP, MAF, EGR...) and PCV valve change (I believe it still has the factory one installed, excited to see if it still rattles haha)​
- Led bulb change for License plate, DRL and interior lights.​
- maintenance charger for additional (webasto) heater​

Drove to the countryside to change the rear brakes, add mudflaps and do some cleaning. (Things you don't want to do in the parking lot of apartment house :D)

Now all brakes are new (brembo).

Also the EGR and TB are cleaned.

Changed the PCV valve and yes it didn't rattle anymore, but also it wasn't completely stuck.

In my 2h journey back to home, found out the fuel consumption dropped from a 7l/100km to 6.8l/100km and the car seems to respond more sensitively to the gas pedal (or I'm imagining it all haha). Also before all this cleaning, with a cold engine when I stopped at red lights the revs would go somewhere near or below 500 and then back to steady ~700. Now it doesn't drop but just stays on ~700 :).
