Hey bought a 05 Tc on monday, and have noticed a few things that I need to fix.

The first issue is that the wheels had pretty low psi, one was at 15 ! I put all the wheels to 30-32. The tires are not stock looking and it says on the tire itself max pressure 50 psi. The tires look flat still what psi should I be going?

I would like to get some stock blinker bulbs, the guy I bought the car from had some blue ones, and the car thinks that the bulbs are out so they blink fast. Where can I get stock ones? Just like shucks or something?

THe car has almost 50k miles on it what maintenence things should be done? And where can I get stock parts like plugs/wires.? OEM?

 

congrats on the brand used car =)
for the plugs/wires id say the dealership..
as for the bulbs i think shucks would work just dont get the ones that are like "hid look" blah blah heh

 

O and at a certain Rpm my car sounds like its spooling a turbo ... Any ideas on that one?

 

i read somewhere that that was normal

 

normal

 

auto parts store will get cha bulbs..

also.. 32/29 front/back psi for tires.

 

local walmart or autostore should have the stock amber bulbs.

 

For the OEM wires/plugs id say dealer too...

As far as the bulbs...just go to any car place like pep boys/autozone/ or like a walmart to get amber bulbs

o0o0o and congrads on the tC

 

how much u pay for it i bought one 2 months ago from a dealer and the car had a clean carfax and 19000 miles i only payed 11500 how about u

 

congrats same year as mine same mileage too lol

as for blinkers i have a few sets of the amber that i dont need i can ship them to u there jus collecting dust i have white blinkers in the fron tbut wanted blue

and maintenance just do an oil change and such basically

 

wow i paid 10k and thats good for around here. Everything in Washington is around 13-14k.

 

for the signal lights see if they are in all the way. I bought some cheap stuff from pep boys and my car did the same thing. until i noticed the bulbs were not in all the way. fixed it and haven't had a problem since.

but you can get the stock bulbs from anywhere. walmart, pepboys, autozone, dealership etc etc.

 

yea got some bulbs from schucks and blinkers work fine. Glad it only took 5 minutes .

 

and you can get lots of parts for your tc from www.trdsparks.com, this includes replacement parts like mechanical parts and body pieces, or accessories.

 

congrats on the purchase!

 

You can find the bulbs at your local auto parts store (just look them up in the book). The factory reccomends 32/29 front/rear, but I ran 32 all around, if it helps.

 

well, once again, since no [noobs] one has brought it up yet, you can look, but you won't find any spark plug wires.... since your motor uses coil packs.

Tires should be inflated to approx. 32 psi. 40 MAX. safely anyway... no need to go any higher. read the pressure, does it look flat, or IS it flat?

How much did u pay for it??

i'd check w/ previous owner about service records, really only mainainence u should really worry about is fluids, air filter, brakes. Check to see that all are fine. drive car.

I'm sure the dealer can give you a handy-dandy pamphlet with all the scheduled maintenance info. Hopefully you got the service records with the car so you know how it's been taken care of?
