Beat-up neglected 940 got towed in to me, I know nothing about it's history, other than it died one day and no one could work out why.
The first thing I tried was to see if the cam belt had broken, tried turning the vibration damper by hand and see if the cam turns, crank will not turn. It is possibly seized. OR
Could the AW71 be stuck? Auto oil pump seized? I did witness another 940 some years ago that had this same problem, mechanic could not turn the crank, swapped in a junkyard AW71 and off they went.
How to tell for sure without taking it off?
