Known issues on the 1985 745. Gasoline and diesel engines ask different things of a car's fuel system, and the 745 carries both. The manual provides procedures, specifications and torque values for the 2.3L inline-fours, turbocharged and not, and for the turbocharged 2.4L diesel inline-six, together with the fuel, ignition and cooling systems that serve them. Diagnostics and wiring diagrams address the electrical system, and the transmission, brakes, steering, suspension and wagon body have specifications of their own.
