Subject: Re: 9000, what should I look out for ?


We have a 9000, model year 1989 (181.000 km) around 110.000 miles some things for the record > > > A particular, known problem in the 9000 CS/CDs (and maybe 9000's before > and > > > 9-5 after?) is the heater matrix. nothing yet, temperature goes around the middle > > > > > Other things to watch out for (as personally experienced): > > > - Gearbox whine (95,000 miles). i dont hear any whine, but gearbox is kinda "crunchy" lately, maybe due to the cold winter, who knows > > > > > - Individual instrument lamp failures. yea .. got that over here, a bulb of the seat-heating poti failed and one of the info button of the clock > > > > > - Complete instrument lighting failure (intermittent). not yet ... luckily > > > > > - Headlamp bulb security (heat causes wire clips to lose their spring). nope didnt have that yet, tho the hmmm reflectors of my headlights are kinda foggy and therefore dont give as much light as earlier, also i dont have clear headlights maybe that would be an advantage > > > > > - Washer bottle leak (it's the T-piece underneath). nope, just had one of the washing fluid things on the hood freeze yesterday :P seems the antifreeze didnt mix very well or seperated from the water or something... atleast nothing is broken, just no water came on the right side > > > > Other: New Head gasket, this may be an old "batch issue". Timing chain, > > just in case as it was a bit noisy, new resistor pack. head gasket is still okay here, i dont drive very aggressively > > Recommended: Fit 16" Aero wheels ~205/55 tyres. in the winter i put my snow tires on hella ugly steel rims, had to treat rust and spray them silver so they dont look THAT bad this year bye simon putz
