hello,
i have a 94 850 nonturbo with a couple problems,
the car is great overall and carried me around the us quite comfortably....
however, there is a ticking coming from the head and a slight oil leak,,,
also i must refill the coolant about every two weeks....
also the heater doesnt stay warm once we take off, and the temp gauge drops to the line and the heater is luke warm....
anyone know where to start?
thanks
patrick

The tapping may be the oil pan o-rings.You have a coolant leak and possibly a bad thermostat.If the thermostat is bad that will affect the heater as well.Or if you are low on coolant that will affect the heater to.
