my 16v 940 wagon
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!
You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Thank you for being a part of our community!
my 16v 940 wagon
How do you mean that 940SE and 960 are the same car?The only car we have that's close to it would be a 91 940 se it's essentially the same minus the engine.
I second that...already miss my 965, even though I still drive it...I mean, IRS is nice and all, but wagons are just, wagons!
Actually, that's what I did...long live FIAT/Alfa experiences!You can try some marvel mystery oil (aka kerosene, effectively) in the crankcase... about a 1/2 liter or so. Then do an italian tune-up - lots of revs, get it really hot, for a long period of time (couple hours). Mountain passes would be good... Hopefully that will un-gum the lifters for you.
Yup, would'n want to kill it before it gets cool and fast.I'd definitely change the belt, tensioner, pulleys, and the oil pump bolt before doing anything else though. That's definitely the Achilles heel of that engine.
Did the oil flush "Italian style", but still will have to take valve cover off... As for the pan, I don't imagine there would be much gunk, since the oil was very water-ish...but it wouldn't hurt to do it anyway.I think it would have been better if you have done some engine flush before changing the oil, maybe Liqui Moly treatment, and Liqui Moly lifters stabilizer, but pulling the oil pan and cleaning the gunk mechanicly would be nice too.
new vs old [/IMG]
I think it was never fitted, only replacement.
the might have changed it automatically with a belt replacement
Thanks both of you!As shown, new style has bigger core, that is where they break.
but I think this car should run better

I haven't had an opportunity do drive/be driven in a stock and well maintained B204FT car, so I don't know what should I expect from this.It should
Is there a problem?Diesel 1.8 bar KICK hahhahahaha

my brother has a 780 T16V, it had a broken boost control module/exhaust temperature sensor. When i drove this car it felt like maybe 150hp. (actuator controled boost only)
If i remember correctly those exh.temp sensors are like unobtanium and if you manage to score one they will be expensive.
Now realized it was you, pal. It's not my fault you didn't know how to drive my car.Diesel 1.8 bar KICK hahhahahaha
Thanks, this helps. My car does drive somewhat similar, but...don't know, eh. Any chance you would have some video showing speedometer, 0-100kmh run, or so? All I could dig up on Youtube are built B230's with 234 heads and some big turbos, not much to compare...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMOQWwP-PNE
This is my previous 16VT, completely stock, well maintained, should give you some kind of reference on what to expect.
Might be the case, I did find that EGT sensor's location thanks to Turbosteen's thread, I will look into it.my brother has a 780 T16V, it had a broken boost control module/exhaust temperature sensor. When i drove this car it felt like maybe 150hp. (actuator controled boost only)
