What are you getting for your 944 for Christmas?
Okay, I'll start.
Basically, a 45K mile service. New plugs, new plug wires, fuel filter, air filter, oil filter and some oil too. Then I will service the belts. Well, actually I will be servicing the belts first with new ones along with new seals, tensioner, and rollers. While I'm in there, a new water pump too, but you already knew that. Most parts were purchased from our host here at Pelican. Merry Christmas and Happy safe New Year!

I bought an early Christmas present for it: a fancy car cover for when it's hibernating. It's also getting a timing belt change when it wakes up. I heart my tax return.
My parents are picking up some nice tires for a birthday/Christmas gift for me to give it, too. I'm sure it will be happy.

New clutch master cylinder. The car gave ME a present by bleeding itself to my surprise!
New hatch shocks. Fixing its windshield leak. New windshield wipers. A new scent - Mango Superficial stuff, but it'll make it happy.

Mine's a microscopic leak that's leading to some BIG moisture in the car during rain events. I located some liquid silicone sealant at advance auto for $3 that drips down into the crease around the windshield and hardens in about an hour. I tried it on a small section of the leak, and it seemed to work, but I must have another small one I missed as my seat is still wet when afterwards.
If you want a full reseal, call a windshield specialist

The adjustable rear is set at the middle setting but I just might switch it around on Xmas-day. |

New clutch master cylinder.
I was inspired by other owners troubles with the clutch master cylinder leaking and failing. It also just recently started sounding like I'm stepping on a duck every time i press the clutch in so I decided to see what's up.
