I'll get started this weekend, let you know what I find. From a cursory look, I didn't notice any CV damage, at least not on the outside. But those are probably the factory CV/axle assemblies too. ...

I have the approved Mahle filter, but maybe just too thin an oil? THat would be excellent if that was the only problem... Like I said, I have my 3K change coming up, so I'll try thicker lube and...

Yeah, but if it does (and it doesn't do it all the time) it's only there for a fraction of a second, it's not like I'm going 2 or 3 blocks waiting to get pressure back. It's a mystery.

How low is too low for oil pressure?

Here's the deal.

My 86' 944 has about 6 months of time on the engine since it was put back together, and no issues since then to speak of.

Within the last 3 weeks, I've noticed that the oil...

Cruise control unit ticking?

2 days ago, I started getting this annoying intermittent ticking noise from under the hood. Seemed to be coming from the right front, but I didn’t know what was doing it. I ruled out something in...

I have no idea what this little plastic neck is for on the front of my engine. It wasn't present on the last 944 I was working with.

Nothing seems to be coming out of it, and the discoloration on...

I put one of the autozone rebuilt jobs into my car after it's rack went bad. It's the cheapest one I've been able to find. Didn't really feel like messing with all those little gaskets and such.

I'd leave it alone too, stock, those plugs are plastic, and will break easily. I drained my radiator that way to replace a faulty thermoswitch, and ended up snapping the head off the plug when I put...

Join the club, someone did the same thing to my car, but before I bought it, so I at least don't have the "I can't believe some blind idiot did this" bad vibe to go along with replacing the part.

Dead Speedometer

I've seen more otherwise good 944's get scrapped for clutches, and though it's not a simple job, it's a better alternative than ripping the car apart.

Yes, both the high and low beams work, the motor that raises them up and down just won't work, so , I just used the hand-crank over by the washer reservoir to put them permanently up.

Yeah, I have the whole back end out of the car right now. I can see why a clutch going bad can be a deal breaker on an older 944 considering how much it would cost in labor alone just to get to the...

Possible stuck lifters on n/a 944

The lifters on my 944 are making a heck of a racket whenever I run the engine, sounds like one or more of them are stuck. Granted, the car was sitting for who-knows-how-long before I bought it last...
