Dear Friends, I'd like to hear your wisdom and tips, please. Sorry, it's not tractor related although we do own two vintage tractors ;-)
My son wants to mothball his car for at least two years and we would like to take any measure to ensure it will run and drive again.
The car is a 2004 BMW 120D. The diesel engine is a four cylinder of approx. 120 cubic inch. Common rail injection, turbo, intercooler, automatic transmission, rear wheel drive.
The regular diesel fuel we have is B7, which contains 7% bio diesel.
Some aspects we are thinking of:
- adding fuel stabilizer or fuel conditioner
- oil and filter change
- starting and driving it, say, once a month
- keeping a battery maintainer on it
Thanks in advance!
