CO Leak 200 1982

posted by  someone claiming to be jim on  Tue Sep 14 10:25 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Haven't seen the problem but would be very careful - sounds like an extremely dangerous condition!!!

What are the floorboards like - I know my 87 740 has developed large air leaks in the front wheel wells from rust holes and if there were any exhaust gases in that area they would be pushed right into the cabin.

I know parting with an 82 240 would be traumatic and seems like a real waste of at least half of it's useful life - not much could get me to willingly part with my 250K 87 model either - but I'd send it to the junkyard in a heartbeat if I had the least suspicion of unexplained/uncorrectable exhaust/CO getting into the cabin. If you do keep driving it make sure your Life insurance premiums are paid up! JMHO!!

Jim
