Dear 940 4ever,

May this find you well. I second Ringlee's suggestions. The heater valve is a low-cost part ($20 or less) with high costs if it disintegrates. This failure mode causes immediate coolant loss. Unless you shut-down within seconds, the engine overheats, warps the head, and requires a head-gasket job, which is nowhere cheap.

If you have not replaced the heater valve and the heater hoses, do so soon. At 240K Km, they don't owe you A/C/NZ/US/M/$0.05, Euros 0.05, etc.

At the risk of labouring the obvious, 940 radiators have about an 8-year working life. They tend to fail, by cracking at the hose connecting points. You might want to inspect yours, if it is has not been changed, to your certain knowledge.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

spook
