I just went for a ride in my mom's '91 9000 and it seems to have a small leak in the heater matrix. There aren't any noticable drips, but there is a distinct smell of antifreeze when the heat is on, which gets stronger when the engine is under load.
I've changed heater cores a few times on various 900's, but have never taken the dash apart on a 9000. I'd like to fix this problem before it gets messier.
Any tips and/or warnings? Should I get a manual? Which one? I know Bentley has the best for my 900 (I've got both the Bentley and the Haynes for my car, but neither one sheds any light on this particular problem)
