    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
