Default 64k miles..Any preventative maintenance I should do?

I just turned 64 k miles on the TT. I know that most of you have very low mileage cars and don't drive yours almost everyday like I do.

I'm just wondering if I should do any preventative maintenance at this time...

I have done all scheduled maintenance. During my recent collision repair I had the coolant flushed and AC recharged.

I have had the car for over 3 years. Absolutely no issues (except failed PCM and accumulator/slave.)

I replaced the fuel filter at 50k miles (I was doing plenum mods at the time and thought I might as well replace it).

Front pads on the PCCB's replaced.. Still plenty of life in the rears. Battery is a little over 2 years old.

The car runs and drives flawless and has no rattles or speaks. Best car I have ever had... No question..

Anything I should replace before it fails? Perhaps a water pump or fuel pump? Boost hoses?

Or should I just leave it alone?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks gentlemen...

Phillip

Phillip, perhaps change all the fluids? Maybe check under the car for any of the "rubber" bushings, sway bars, mounts, etc?

Replace the driver. He has a screw loose.

Seriously, you've done all that is necessary. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Just keep up on the services and if something acts up take care of it pronto.

Now turn off your PC and go for a drive.

Macster. I'll take that as a compliment! Already went up in the hills this morning! For some reason my wife didn't want to go with me!

All fluids have been changed except tranny. I'll wait on that. When I do the serp belt I'll have my boys do a full inspection of the items you mentioned. Thanks for your input!
