'85 900S 190k 8v from Milwaukee, WI to Augusta, GA in June (military); excited but nervous, car elderly. Throw your $0.02 in, TIA=>
1. <1yo tune, belts, all rad hoses, vac lines, & fluids w flushing, heater valve. <2yo ps rack, BJ's, tie ends, f calipers, clutch&slave&f main seal, crankshaft pulley&waterpump&oil pump, exhaust, tires, MTL. No trans symptoms.
2. F pump blew fuse 2yrs ago, two techs felt it was fine/drew spec amps, hasn't recurred. A/C long dead, never converted. Suspect low-freq rear rattle on decel is trailing link vs. missing rubber rubber isolation clips on r sway bar. Has long leaked small amt oil @ v cover, sm weep at distrib, oily block below exh manifold.
I've minimal time to DIY this spring. Plan:
a)tech to eval
b)consider f pump. Part ~$300? Alternative parts source? VW?
c)AC ~$1000+. Parts source? $-saving tips?
d)r susp rattle
e)check coolant & oil for cross-contaminant
