My wife recently slammed the front of our 1996 900se into the back of a pickup truck. $6500 damage, but covered by the insurance, so I decided to have it fixed. Exterior looks ok, but have several difficulties elsewhere. Main problem is the check engine light, it came on after the 1st mile driven, I took it back to the dealer, and they stated that the problem was with a loose gas cap. Car drove fine for about 60 miles and then came on again (seems to come on when the car is idiling). Car's performance is unbelievable, and gas mileage about about 32mpg, compared to 25 before. I do notice a little white smoke from the exhaust, but it's hard to tell if it's just because it's cold or if the car is actually smoking. The other problem is I have no climate control... only a high fan or no fan.
The only thing replaced on the car as far as internal components was the radiator and the air conditioner condesor.
anyone have any thoughts as far as the car? or if the dealer should offer to repair this at no cost to myself?
