After a bit more than a year enjoying my little nugget
it was time get all the juices & filters changed…
Brought some parts from Belgium with me last August and bought some here in Croatia 🇭🇷 …



Also changed the expansion tank and did a coolant flush



Engine oil 5w-40 & filter changed… and got myself a good Karlovačko along :wink:



Next up was a bit exiting… was there still enough gearbox oil in the gearbox?!
Surprise surprise, there wasn’t 😅
Flushed the old oil out (was about 1,5L) and filled it up with fresh75w-90 gearbox oil









Then some new sparkplugs… or NOT😫!?!
I couldn’t get the ignitioncoils unplugged 😤
Got myself an other Karlovačko and thought about it for a while how to get
those bloody things out! :thinking:
Didn’t want to force anything and it’s a thing for tomorrow…
So changed the air & cabinfilter and cleaned them all out😎



Found my envelope with stickers which I bought last year 😅 and put them on



All what’s left to do are sparkplugs, powersteering oil and fuel filter…. Clean the sumpguard and big sump & gearbox guard, bolt them back up.
That’s a battle for tomorrow 😁
Here’s what I’ve accomplished for now…



Next April I’ll bring all the big boxes with parts with me so I can do all the brakes and pads, timingbelt, waterpump etc, etc…
Some nice 17” sport classic and Bilstein b14😎

But first in November the Edition 30 gets some nice suspension & brake upgrades😍

The follow up continues…
The sparkplug leads got scared when they saw my primal plyers 😎
They surrendered immediately 😎
The little orange leads puller is a joke🙄



Got the old plugs out and torqued new ones in…





Changed the fuelfilter…





Topped up the powersteering oil and filled up the AC by my local garage. Did a little trip to see if everything was ok….











And now my least favorite part… cleaning all my mess up😅
