Safety Precautions

---------------

Before starting any work on your City Golf engine, it is essential to take necessary safety precautions.

* Always wear protective gear including gloves, goggles, and a face mask.

* Make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground with the parking brake engaged and in neutral or first gear (automatic).

* Disconnect the battery negative cable before beginning any work under the hood.

Tools Required

--------------

In addition to basic tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, pliers, etc., you will need:

* Socket set (19mm for spark plugs)

* Torx wrench (T30 and T40)

* Ratchet extension bar

* 3/8' drive socket ratchet

Engine Oil Check

--------------

1. Locate the oil dipstick under the hood on the driver's side, near the engine block.

2. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag or paper towel.

3. Insert the dipstick back into its slot until it reaches the top of the hole.

Check your owner's manual for recommended oil level specifications based on temperature conditions (hot or cold).

Coolant Level Inspection

-----------------------------

1. Locate the radiator reservoir under the hood on the driver's side, near the engine block.

2. Pull off the cap slowly counterclockwise and check the fluid level against the max line.

If necessary, top up with a 50/50 mix of antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and water for optimal performance in temperatures below -20°C (-4°F).

Spark Plug Replacement

------------------------

1. Remove all spark plug wires from their respective spark plugs.

2. Use an extension bar to reach the spark plugs located behind the timing cover plate.

T30 Torx screwdriver is required; remove screws counterclockwise until they back out completely.

3. Pull out the old spark plugs and discard them properly (recycle whenever possible).

4. Install new spark plug gaskets onto each spark plug before threading in a new, clean spark plug.

5. Tighten with wrench or ratchet extensions clockwise until snugly seated but do not overtighten!

Air Filter Cleaning

----------------

1. Locate the air filter housing on top of the engine compartment near where it connects to intake manifold.

2. Remove two Phillips head screws counterclockwise and slide out old dirty paper element away from its frame carefully so as not to damage any gasket seals inside.

3. Inspect for dirt, debris or signs of wear; if necessary replace with new high-quality air filter according manufacturer's recommendations.

Timing Belt Inspection and Replacement

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Locate the timing cover plate on top of the engine block near where it connects to crankshaft pulley housing.

2. Remove all screws (Torx T30) in a star pattern counterclockwise until they back out completely.

3. Pull off old timing belt tensioner assembly away from its mounting bracket carefully so as not to damage any timing marks or guides on the block surface underneath!

4. Inspect for signs of wear, cracks, fraying, or excessive slack; if necessary replace with new genuine OEM parts only (non-OEM replacements voids warranty).

By following this comprehensive guide and performing regular maintenance tasks outlined above regularly you will extend the life span of your City Golf engine while also ensuring optimal performance on every drive. Remember to always consult your owner's manual for specific instructions unique to your particular model year and trim level before starting any work underhood.
