1. I have read hundreds of thread on this forum in the past week. This, combined with some personal exchanges with other members here, allowed me to derive my list of six items. Scotch prevented me from remembering the PCV valve. And the EGR tube cleaning now that I think of it. It is, therefore, all the fault of Scotch. This is another way of saying: I did search. But badly, I guess.

2. Go use the search function and enter the terms you just proposed: initial + maintenance. Tell me how many threads you came up with. I got one from VX talk. And it had nothin much to do with initial preventive maintenance for a new owner. Search functions are great, but they have some limited utility. Perhaps I could improve in this area.

3. On forums that I regularly read, when some overly enthusiastic but clearly ignorant noob (that would be me in this scenario) posts an obvious question that could be answered with a minor amount of reading or searching: I just ignore him.

well, its nothing personal, trust me if i wouldnt have said it someone else would have....

so, theres not much thats needed on a VX with the amount of miles that yours has...

pretty much what you have and the things i listed i believe...there may be 1 or 2 more.
someone else will remind me of what i missed
