The slave solenoids can be rebuilt with a ~$120 kit from 9m in the UK, which anyone would learn from a 5sec google search. Most do not “need to be replaced”. They only need rebuilt if brake fluid flushes have been neglected and the 20 year old brake fluid is full of seal-destroying crud, just like any clutch slave on earth.
Having broken pins on the abs ecu is rare and a sign of corrosion from water intrusion (common theme: neglect). The C2 abs ecu is prone to the same.
The 964 launch coincided with the ‘89/‘90 recession, which had an obvious impact on sales and momentum for the new model.
There is probably more false info in this thread, but not really my job. Enjoy  |
I believe I said many not most have been converted. I own 2 and know of dozens of others. That is many but who’s counting. I see many ABS brains with broken pins not only Porsche. That is why I have several I keep just in case. The last C4 needing one was a very clean car but humidity and moisture did cause the problem.
I agree with the recession and sudden market shift to SUV’s. Most people say it was the looks. There were only 5100 964 coupes imported both C2/C4 tip & manual with about 50% no longer with us. So many were crashed and parted out. Many of those parts sold here on pelican.
