Spyder New DSM P0300

[itty Bitty “Spyder”]

What’s up! I finally found another DSM.
What are some of the things I should check out?
What maintenance and repairs do I need for daily driving?

Thanks

Timing and balance shaft belts including pulleys, tenisioner, and waterpump. This will also give you an opportunity to flush the coolant system and replace any questionable hoses. Serpentine and power steering belts too. I like to do some oil seals while I'm in there - cams, and a few in the front case like front main, balance shaft, oil pump.
I like to ensure the battery and charging system are up to snuff. You know, things that might leave you stranded.
Overall, just be super vigilant about addressing issues as they crop up. There's nothing worse than ignoring a simple problem that spirals into something much more serious. And that way when it does come time for some more work, it's not so daunting because you already took care of the simple things.
