It's really remarkable how much easier the TB is to change on the B6304. Once you've done it once it is literately as easy as changing a fan belt. I could probably have my entire TB changed and put back together before you could even get the lower cover off of the B230. That's why when people scoff at the 30K mile replacement intervals, I emphasize that it's really not a terrible thing.

As for the water pump, the 960 is easier because it's right out there in the open once you remove the timing belt cover and it just bolts right up (you don't have to mess with the heater pipe coming off the back, or those that seal on the top of the pump that never seats right).

I don't regret selling my B230FT-powered 760T for a minute...
