Hello All, My 1995 960 will be in different hands tomorrow. The car either dropped a valve independent of the timing belt, or the head/belt went out of synch. I looked for 960 engines for a while, and decided to let the car go. I did happen to find a very interesting resource that members might use ...

95 960 I recently did my timing belt and so far so good. You know, I don't know what the literary term is, but there has to be one. My timing belt shredded itself. The new water pump walked off of it's bearing and took the belt with it. I wasn't with the car at the time, but some other poor souls h...

Hello,

For reasons beyond my comprehension I cannot seem to find the tutorials on how to pull the codes for a pre-OBDII car. I have a 1995 960 so it's much more of a pain.

What is a BOCES program?

We're going way off subject, but what did you do for a career? I too started life my professional life and ended up elsewhere. I started life as a biochemist (BA,MA) and didn't use much of it at all. I'm in social work now. And I agree that school teaches you a set of skills. There is the knowledge,...

No offense was meant. I just think it would be a very good idea to have a large knowledge base and strong, proven desire to spend countless hours working underneath, on top, and within cars. It's a vexing hobby. And to be honest, I've met enough mechanics who drive horrendous cars because they last ...

That's a good point. I'm going to get an extra brake light switch too. I always carry an excess of parts and tools. It seems like they always come in handy. The most recent weird thing was that the windshield wiper nut came undone and the wiper arm jumped off of it's spindle. Poring rain, and it beh...
