Hello all! I am a new owner of 75 240D, and I'm having some challenges with her. The alternator (when removed) works fine, the battery will hold a charge and is relatively new -however the battery is not getting a charged when running.
What's next - should I have someone that specializes in electrical work check it out? I'm at a loss with that stuff.
Any info will help. I was told when I puchased the car that the timing chain would need to be replaced. How would I be able to tell? I'm not sure what its supposed to sound like - i know its louder than my 90 volvo 240 - but that is to be expected, right? He (previous owner) said it rattled in the upper gears- but I haven't particularly noticed that. Should I just replace the engine? and what's a good price on changing the timing chain?
again, any info will help!
