off topic 900

I am not a mechanic, but I have disassembled 240 seats before. Is the switch in the on the side of the seat or on the center console? This may be a question for a 940 owner. If you can get a switch from the junkyard really cheap try it. Hopefully it's just the switch. If both your front seats have heat, try stitching the switches with the pass. side. I reupholstered the drivers seat in my 240 using an extra passenger side material. The seats come apart pretty easily on the 240S. After cutting the hog rings underneath, the material just comes off. You can then access the seat heater inside if it's bad. I believe IPD sells replacement heaters and switches. To reassemble you can buy a "hog ring" tool and rings, or use wire or zip ties. But Like I said this may be a question for a 940 owner. Also, synthetic oils tend to purge out petroleum oil after one oil change. Read the synthetic oils container and see what they suggest. I have always used the regular petroleum based 10W40 and never had any problems. My 84 has 220,000 on it and burns no oil and the 81 has quarter million on it and does not burn oil either. Both have leaks, I guess that just comes with age.
