Breaking 1994 940 diesel estate

Briz · Nov 12th, 2010, 14:04

I've gone and killed it! My own fault.
The temp gauge never worked; never bothered fixing it. A slow leak meant that over the course of a long journey last week it lost half its coolant and must have gone about 90 miles in an overheated state.
Wont start at all now, not enough compression. Reckon I've burned some valves.
If it was a pristine car, I'd fix it, but the rear axle is noisy and the overdrive only works because I put toluene in the fluid!
And for some reason the dog didn't like being in it (practically lives in the 740).
So; all parts available! except a few which I'll use for spares for our 740.

Hi Briz,

What was it running like before it got cooked? Stop/ start, esp in the cold ok?

Cheers,

Rich

It did run fine. Always started up straightaway. Didn't always need the heater-plugs to warm up when cold either.
Never ran it in Winter, only bought it this last summer.

Sorry guys; its gone to the crusher. Would have saved the injectors, but didn't have a socket that fitted them. Bumper was OK, but I took it apart to weigh the ally beam in seperately. Offside taillight was broken.
