You did not perform a tune-up on your vehicle. You serviced some parts. Other than that, sounds fine. Run some injector cleaner every few tanks of gas.

Anyone who wants to argue "tune-up" with me is more than welcome to come over and work on an old VW of mine. We'll adjust the points (the wha--?), the valves (they're not hydraulic), and adjust the timing (no PCM).

Cheers!

O2 sensor would be a good idea at that mileage.

the phrase "tune up" is more or lessused aspart of a service routine every X kms/miles notnessisarily doing one its just easier to say thats my opinion
as far as the O2 senser could changing it cause the check engine light to comeon and is the PCV valve important to change
thanks again
