Subject: Euro 635Csi Information
Does anyone know of any faq's or any other information of any kind
about a
635Csi. I was looking for not so much the history but any problems,
things
to look out for maybe some tips on tuning them up etc.

Josh,
There aren't any faq's I'm aware of particular to this car. The
problem areas are generally the same as for 633s. Additional problem
areas will depend on how well the car was federalized.
On my '81, the prime problem area has been electrics. I'm sure this
is directly due to federalization. The headlights are wired into the
parking light circuit, for instance. The 02 sensor was placed in a
spot where the lead wire always gets snagged on something and pulls
out. I figure I'll eventually get an automotive electrician to
straighten it out.
If you have door beams, you may want to check them - they were added
to the inside of your doors to meet crash standards. They are prone
to rust if they weren't painted or coated.
Window seals for front and rear glass should also be checked, but I've
had no problems with mine.
Other than that they're a blast to drive! Hope some other digesters
can help.
