Re: Coolant leak

Hi Guys, I have owned the car since 98. Bought it with 77k on it from someone who gave new meaning to the word "anal rentetive". (Records of everything down to wax used, and plastic from factory still on carpet under two sets of mats.) All services done thru 150k; I normally take very good...

Re: Coolant leak

Ok, I am being told it is a blown head gasket. I am a girl and unable to repair this myself. (No time, tools, and lack of knowledge!) At what point do I decide it is time for a new car? The intermittent gas smell in the engine compartment is still there. The rest of the car is immaculate inside and ...

Re: Engine shuts off for no reason

Re: intermittent Gas smell

Yes- The only thing I have (possibly) seen, is 'wet' at the end of the fuel injector line. I ran rosen paper the length of the car so I could check for drips, being careful to park in the exact same place. The only drips (just a few) were just under the area by the power steering fluid compartment. ...

Coolant leak

I have a 1994 960 with 235k on it. There is a coolant leak coming from (facing the cabin area) the lower left corner of the cambshaft cover in front of the engine block. I checked the oil; there does not appear to be coolant in the oil. The leak does not appear to be coming from the radiator. I firs...

intermittent Gas smell

Hi, I have a 1994 960 wagon with 235k on it. Has been a great car with little problems. (Yes, I did just post another issue!) The car has a very strong gas smell that is intermittent. There does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to the odor. I could walk into the garage first thing in the morning a...

Re: Brake Booster shop time? Engine surging-

Makes perfect sense on the surging, thank you Bill!!!
I am going to have someone else do the booster; it is way over my head to try and tackle. I appreciate having a guide on what to expect to pay for labor-
