Default Maintenance questions feedback please
My Ti has been garaged for almost 2 years, I have been very busy working so i have not had time to tend to the car. I was wondering what precautions I should take before bringing it back on the road. It was garaged with a full tank of gas and has not been started or touched in almost 2 years so any feedback would be very helpful.

Your car would like fresh gas.

Change the oil and filter.

Squirt a little oil into each spark plug hole to pre-lube the cylinders.

New battery.

agreed.

siounds about right. make sure you check the plastic coolant lines and any hoses, they may have gotten very weak over the years
