Serpentine belt, front differential fluid and fuel filter.

 

The heck is "front transmission fluid"? When did we get multiple transmissions?

Do you mean diff?

 

Tip trans needs transmission oil and fluid (I guess gearbox and torque converter). Could be that?

 

I think DRSULLIVAN was referring to the front differential fluid. If you want to catch them all...You could hit the Transmission (Tiptronic?), the clutch fluid for AWD system, and the front differential as DRSULLIVAN indicates here.

With age being primary, and low mileage I would look at exposed rubber/plastic parts such as hoses and bushings as the most likely items to potentially fail from normal dry rot or exposure to the elements, as well as reduction in pliability.

From your description, sounds like you take good care of the car and will likely have no issues.

Good luck,

This thread is getting a little all over the place....so we have tranny fluid ,belts.front diff..rear diff......anything else....

 

in manual cars tranny fluid is same fill as rear diff fluid.

 

mines a 09 too with 8k miles, I was planning on doing the 10k mile service, but couple of the people that I spoke too said an oil change and a brake fluid change was all that's needed?? I guess not.. hahah

 

Thank you..
