Re: 1997 960 Thermostat temperature
Hey there. I have the same car...and she has some miles on her...and she does warm up quickly on the gauge, but she will stay at that midway point rock steady. But I would say that mine warms up just as quickly. But then doesn't go passed that mid to two thirds point. I would try letting her warm st...

17" Thors on my 1997 960 wagon....
Anyone run these wheels on their late 960/S90/V90? I am imagining they should fit, but they are a good bit wider that the stock wheel. Just wondering if they will work. I did run them on my 1998 C70 without issue, but the car originally had 17's on it. Was wondering if I would have any issues with o...

Re: cylinder head and gasket
It took me a little while to come around to the fact that the head gasket was indeed the problem with mine too. I just dreaded the idea of going through all the work, and wanted to be positive before I took the plunge. I had the exhaust smell in the coolant, I had no mixture of coolant and oil. I ha...

Re: cylinder head and gasket
Sorry for being away for awhile. You may have already started your repair by now. My apologies for not replying sooner. Yes, aligning the timing marks and then installing the tools will take the guess work out later. I did not have the factory service manual, so I was relying on what I found in the ...

Re: cylinder head and gasket
Can I assume this is for your V90? I have a 1997 960 wagon and went through the whole head gasket replacement shortly after purchasing my wagon from some not overly honest sellers. Lesson learned.... The previous owner had added a "block sealant" to the coolant, which didn't really do much...

Re: 960 stumble
Funny and somewhat disheartening that there is not a lot of activity on these older rwd model forums anymore. I struggled to gather information on the 1997 960 I picked up in the early part of last year. I am wondering if maybe you may have a head gasket issue. Noticing any coolant loss? I purchased...

WTB - LF Fender 1995-98 960/V90/S90 Graphite Grey Metallic
Hello All! I recently picked up a 1997 960 wagon (V90). Kinda over paid for it, as it turned out to need the head gasket replaced...but we are working on getting that problem squared away. But she does have a little cosmetic stuff I would like to address if I can. I would love to find a driver's fen...
