940 Celebration b230FT Warning on fuel leak
Recently on my MOT there came a smell of petrol on the way to the MOT station. Assuming it was the usual spill from a car in front I continued to the test station. Up it went on the ramp and the smell became apparent. The large fuel filter had rotted and fuel was pouring out. No the garage didnt stick a screwdriver through it. I know him well and they didnt charge for helping me sort it. It appears that the later 940s only had cursory sprays of whatever under the car and not the all over bitch compound of earlier years. Result was that gravel and salt got under the rubber mounting and rotted the canister through. For those who wish to check its an easy check just under the passenger seat area. Mileage 72k and the older models with the bitch still have the same filters after 200k and 400k. !!! PS I cut the old filter up and it was clean as a whistle inside. Nige
