Hello All,
My first time posting on this group. I used to be a frequent poster
on the alt.vw.watercooled about 5-7 years ago when I drove and
constantly repaired volkswagens.
Anyway, I have saved my Dad's 1991 940se from the junker, well,
because it just isn't ready for Volvo heaven. It's a mere baby with
133K on the clock. I plan on fixing it up and using it as a backup
car for the family.
The car has been sitting for nearly 2 years, and I have gotten it
running quite well. (Started on first turn -- I was quite impressed)
I do notice, however, a few issues. I was hoping for some advise on
handling them from the group.
1) Rear end sag. The entire rear end is sagging. I have put the car
up on a lift and I don't see anything 'obviously' wrong. I also
notice several other 940's and 960's of this vintage with the same
squat rear end. Any ideas on fixes?
2) Steering rack has a hitch in the travel. Anyoen ever tackle that
repair?
3) A/C heater controls not working?
4) Slight oil leak at front of block. Common problem? Common fix?
Any advise is greatly appreciated. I also ask if any of the group
memers may point me in the direction of any competant service manuals.
I am used to using Bentley manuals, and they do not make on for the
940.
THanks
