HOW 'USER FRIENDLY' ARE THE 940s 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Chris Wilson on  Mon Sep 8 08:04 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have little to no serious experience working on cars except what I have done on my 1995 945T. It is very USER FRIENDLY. No diagnostic tools needed. It has an on-board LED light system (the OBD) that doesn't require tools to read. Just push the button and count the lights.

With my limited experience, I have:

Replaced radiator
Replaced coolant reservoir
Changed oil and filter numerous times
Replaced RPM sensor after OBD told me it was the problem stalling my car
Flush brake fluid
Replaced cat-back exhaust system
Replaced fuel filter
Installed new anti-sway bars
Replaced brake pads
Replaced exhaust manifold gaskets
Cleaned throttle body
Replaced various light bulbs
Replaced air filter
Replaced spark plugs and wires
Replaced distributor and rotor
Replaced aux belts
Installed boost gauge
Installed air/fuel meter
Lots more I can't remember

Just buy a good manual, have a good set of hand tools, floor jack, and jack stands, and you are set.
