More interesting news from my friend who owns the 85 900S. He started saying that the temperature was going up close to red (but still inthe green) whenever he drove the car. No coolant leaks. One of the fans was on all the time but the other never came on. One day he went to take the thermostat housing so we could check the thermostat for problems. Well, he managed to break one of the bolts and we do not know what to do about that. Now, back to the thermostat, it is not there. It seems the previous owner did not like it and took it off. He drove the car back to his house as it was (we tried to hold the housing with just one bolt and a vise-grip). On the next day he reported that on the way back he got in the red zone for about a minute or so, as he was getting in his place. Questions: o Did he warped the head? How to figure out? o How to figure out why he was havign overheating problems to begin with? Water pump failure? How to check and replace the pump? From what I saw, it does not look fun. --------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: if replying to this email, use the address below.
