Seems my Servo has decided to autonomously flush it self! Unfortunately this is was not included as an option when buying the car but, is more of and aftermarket 'previous owner(s) bought green coolant causing part failure'.

It seems I have three options
Servo Repair kit 0008300198 $268 shipped (anyone have an experience with these?)
Rebuilt OEM Plastic servo $320+/-
Good used Aluminum Servo $322 shipped (anyone have an experience with these?)

What would be the best option?

Thank you in Advance

LOL this is not due to the use of green coolant, though it isn't good to use...

Its a normal fail item with these cars, this is why they went to an aluminum body....the bakelite, cracks over the years..

The repair kit won't fix it, I forget what it is...but its like nothing....just get a working aluminum one...

I had a nice set of Klima servo data sheets but can't find them now... ugh...I wanted to share.


best price for new rebuilt alum one on web is $350 plus core w warranty

for plastic rebuilt one web price was about $250 plus core w warranty I think.. prices go up from there.$

Mine are pulls but I have not looked at them critically, so just a disclaimer.
But I'll PM you with general info. FWIW

cheers

BTW in order for your servos to last a bit longer, its advisable to allow it to cycle full hot and back again very often per week.
That helps keep the stuff flowing and mojo.
