Delica Winterization
Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2024 10:43 am
Hello!
I recently got a Delica L400 super exceed and I'm wondering what should be the first things to check/replace and what should I do to winterize it?
After buying it I took it to a shop and got the timing belts changed, oil changed and had an inspection done on it. When driving it home I noticed that when the outside temperature dropped below 0 it really struggled to keep up the inside temp. Is this normal deli things, or does something need cleaning or replacing?
I have also had issues with the side sliding door not fully closing (and draining the battery several times already) and the windows thinking they were jammed and refusing to go up all the way. The windows and doors were fine when I got it in Vancouver and when the temperatures were above 0, but now that I've got it home and it's in -20 they seem to have issues. Is this just as simple as replacing grease with a better low temperature grease?
Cheers!
Glad to be a new Delica owner!
