1986 csi 635

Guys,

I need help! I have a 635 that has been sitting in my garage for almost 9 years. it was in grat condition when I parked it. I travel a lot and did not want any one to be driving it. The years has past and along with time I have some waht forgotten about it. I want to get it back on the road. Can someone tell me the problems i may have getting it back to road worty condition. is there an issuw with it sitting for so long? HELP!! my wife is going to sell it if i do not get it out of the garage!!

She can't sell it if she can't move it out of the garage!

First off you'll need to change all the fluids:
- oil
- coolant
- brake fluid

Also you should change the filters:
- oil
- air
- fuel

The fuel tank will have to be drained out & cleaned too most likely too, the file will have turned to jelly. The brake callipers may have seized too, these may have to be freed out and/or rebuilt. It's probably worth fitting a new set of plugs too.

The tyres will most likely be rotten too, so I'd definitely be budgeting for a set of replacements. There will most likely be flat spots if the car was parked not on axle stands.

Brake pads may have gone hard too & lost their effectiveness after 9 years, inspect & replace if they don't look healthy.

There are two small rechargeable AA batteries in the the instrument cluster, these are there to store the Service Lights memory. These will need to be replaced too, an easy job if you're handy with a soldering iron. Hopefully they have not leaked & destroyed the circuit board, then it gets costly.

That's all I can think of for now.

OP - Or you could sell it. To me. Just saying.
