960... 900

Things that have gone wrong since I bought my car last fall.
Or are still unfixed.

960 -96 (B6304S)
80k miles..

1) Leaking powersteering, both seals under the car had to be changed.
2) O-ring seal went on the AC, filled and pressure-checked.
3) 2 of 3 springs are broken on the compressor clutch (have not fixed it yet)
4) ECC vents stop blowing on acceleration (vacuum-leak?)
5) Air Mass Meter died. Had it replaced and codes erased.
6) Rear Main seal had to be replaced.
7) Rear Cam seal had to be replaced.
8) right fog-light wont work. (replaced lamp, still not working) ?!?!
9) Drivers seat heat seater will not work. (passagers side barely work)
10) Drivers door, seal worn. (some wear on the passagers side)
11) Feels like the car have unbalanced front tires sometimes. What does it I don't know. It went away anyhow. May have been ice on the rims that did the feeling of unbalance. Any ideas?
12) Headlamp wipers are broken.
13) Checked the air-pump in the engine compartment, it was filled with water? Obviously broken?! Any reason for concern about this? Read that it pumps air into the engine when cold to speed up the calalytic process.
14) sounds like valves are clattering when accelerating.
15) Two pairs of wires to the ignition coils have crumbeling insulation.

And there are some small problems with broken interiorparts like cupholders and such. Right passagerdoor has a broken spring in the doorhandle (on the inside).


Are these problems normal for a car that have done 80k miles? Anyone have something of their own experience to tell about these cars? Or about any of the faults I have had on my car. And at while milage they appeared?

Thanks,
Esa Salminen
