Hi Always, Thanks for the comment and support. I know the manual gearbox/transmission has one drain plug and one fill plug, both are 17mm hex/allen head types. I'm not sure about the auto. Let me know if this link helps 924.org/techsection/7transaxle.htm

@@Bristol_boxing hey Bristol, thanks for the comment and support. It's most likely the connectors, it's well documented that they corrode of time, they are a cheap part if you don't mind a little wiring. Before that also check you brake light switch at the base of your brake pedal. It maybe faulty. Let me know how you get on 🤞👍

@@Witty924 hi checked the connectors on the plugs to the lights they are OK along wirh the bulbs.. It's when I press the brake pedal I have the fault.. And when the lights are on the brake lights stay on.. I've read about the earth shorting out but no signs on the plugs or connectors

@@Bristol_boxing do check the brake switch at the pedal, it's a cheap part and can cause brake lights issues if not working correctly. Are you getting any amber warning lights up on the fash when you brake?

@@marty9248 hey Marty, thanks for the comment and support. I feel your pain, it's a tough job especially if the hoses haven't been touched in decades. They are open to all the elements so they get pretty rough in there. With the accumulator, I used lots of penetrating fluid and good fitting spanners to crack the nuts, once cracked I kept turning back and forth until the nut spun on the hose fitting as it should. Getting to the end connected to the hardline is a pain if you are on jack stands. Let me know how you get on 🤞 👍

@@mytruthslays1303 they are very chrome 👍

@@almightybirdwatcher4986 thanks for the comment and support bird. Interior vids coming soon. 👍

@@marty9248 hey Marty, thanks for the comment and support. Great to hear you are refurbishing the fuel system on your 924. I did remove and check the intank pump separately, it was in great condition and the tank was too, so no work required, I was lucky. I gave the tank outer a good clean and then undersealed the tank and rear of the car, should hold well for another decade all being well. Let me know how you get on 👍

@@m.cooper1854 thanks for the comment and hope the job went OK. Good point on Ebay, always check the seller to ensure it's from a good trade seller who also sells on eBay. 👍

@@Soulesshuskk the paint was like glass, stunning car!

@@russelldownesdownes5618 hey Russell thanks for the comment. It's a low torque only 10nm as you don't want to collapse the new rubber gasket. I hope that helps 👍

@@Witty924 Do you still have your tt

@@russelldownesdownes5618 I bought it as a 6 month project, was great fun, great little motor. Sold it on to a new home. I have thought about getting another one as a project. Maybe the 225bhp next time but still the mk1 👍

@@Witty924 I have the 225 roadster and the 190 coupe

@@russelldownesdownes5618 nice! The roadster 225 is great fun! Have you done any mods?

@@darrenmetcalfe9941 hey Darren, thanks for the comment and support. Great to hear it helped you out. I hope the car is driving great 👍

@@brunolotycz1293 hi Bruno thanks foe the comment. Sometimes the pin connector needs a solid push also the unit should connect when engine is running or with the ignition set to on. In can be a little temperamental. Let me know how you get on 👍

@@pauljohns3186 thanks for the comment and support Paul. I used enamel high temp paint which worked nicely and seems robust with no flaking or chipping. 🤞

@@chrismadge7292 thanks Chris, it's made good difference to the front end. They are my last leg rachets so they are almost ready for the bin 👍

@@Bangerboy985 is this the hose kit you have on you engine. Sounds like you have a 225bhp not a 180bhp. Let me know www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176336719155?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2-oszhl0s_6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=8h9VmC7aS7i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@Witty924 I do have a 225bhp however the link you provided I believe could be correct however I'm not sure because I can't spin the Y hose thats there also.... the hoses that have a yellow cap on i have no idea where it goes. I have the whole kit minus that Y connector

@@Tushy-hv1rf thanks for the comment and support 👍

@@paulqormi Hi Paul, thanks for the comment. I got them on Ebay, a decent price rather than paying full audi price. 👍

@@youngsyr thanks for the comment and support. So the gauge seems to be all good, there is an amount of pressure required to make the gauge work and I had 2 large splits in the pipes in the tank., which I did in the next video. With the amount of psi the pump gives it doesn't surprise me the fuel just couldn't get passed the splits to the gauge at the back of the car. Anyway, all fixed and running great again. 👍

@@Witty924 Great, thanks for letting me know - I have a non-starting 996 Turbo that seems to be fuel related and have already ruled out relays and fuses. Mine doesn't catch at all on ignition though (but will if you spray Easy Start in to the intake). Next step is to pressure test at the fuel filter. I really don't want to have to go diving into the (full!) fuel tank, but no specialist can fit me in within the next month, so I may have to!

@@youngsyr sounds like a fuel issue if you do get a start with the starter spray. Check out my vid and have a look into the tank, just take it step by step. Even if you just get to look into the tank to see if the pipes are ok or split. If they are good then it is most likely a pump failure but that's tends to be a little more rare. Let me know how you get on 🤞👍

@@raymondchan9802 great comment. I don't know the answer to that, but need to find out now 🤞

@@tazotazo7862 thanks for the comment and support. It was the infamous fuel pipes on the fuel pump and swirl pot. I did a couple of videos to show the problem. A new pump unit fixed the issue and the car is flying strong again 💪 🚙💨👍

Hi Karl, thanks for the comment. So set your suspension to the highest level that way the air suspension will.not try and over adjust as you jack the car up. The ladder chassis has lots of great points to lift the car and place jack stands. Use a few as its heavy. I hope that helps 👍

Hi Pepe thanks for the comment. Great question. The tube connects to the back of your alternator. It provides direct cooling for the unit. The cooling hose can be bought in various colours too. Hope that helps 👍

Thanks for the comment whichbike. You have a great car 👍🚙💨

Hi Stait, thanks for the comment and support.i went for a Magneti Morelli fuel pump. I recommend autodoc as they have a number of options you can consider. The fuel hose you can get from design 911 or eBay. A few places sell them. They range from £20 to £30. I hope that helps 👍

@@Witty924 Thanks 😄

Hi Rich, thanks for the comment and support. Great to hear that the video helped out and the car is fighting fit again 💪 👍

Thanks frazer for the comment and support 👍

@@Witty924 : I’m considering getting a 924 for my daughter for her 18th, so it’s been a relief to hear how simple they are to work on. It sounds like they aren’t too much more difficult than a mk2 Escort, although the fueling system sounds like it could be a bit of a faff.

@@frazerguest2864 It's great to hear you are considering one. It certainly has many similarities with other 80s classics, if you have a good tool set, a place at home to wrench and a little time, they are great cars to get your hands dirty on. You are right about the fuel system, the CIS systems can be a little temperamental, but there is always help around the corner. What model 924 are you considering?

@@Witty924 : Insurance-wise, there’s very little between the 2.0 and the S. I had been window shopping later S’s, but there’s a Romanian chap who sells kits to supercharge the 2.0 using the Eaton blower from a MINI Cooper S, which boosts power up to around 150-160 bhp. The biggest contributing factor is going to be the condition of the bodywork. Whilst I can weld to an acceptable standard, the oily bits are a lot easier to change than cutting out and fabricating new metalwork. I’ve had enough of doing that over the years with old Land Rovers !

@@frazerguest2864 I hear you on the old landy, they always come with a welder :). There is a good video by number27 on a 924 with the supercharger kit, goes well. The 2.0l was my preferred route as it was an easier engine to tinker with. The 2.5 is a smoother unit and hits the 150-160hp mark you mention. As the 924 was galvanized from the factory, they seem to weather well, that said the sills can be the weak point. Let me know which one you choose, it will be great to see. 👍🤞

Haha, indeed

Apart from the cosmetic changes, it had an uprated intercooler and other important minor engine changes to accept more HP and also suspension changes. Basically, given it a better platform for homologation to become a race car. I believe the red pinstriping matching the side panel graphics are unique to the GT. It has a huge turbo and can put out a LOT more power if needed.

Hi indy, thanks for the comment and support. So that is the front undertray that they all left the factory with. Over the years I'm sure many 924 and 944s lost them. Check on eBay to see if you can get one. 👍🤞

Hi Hella, thanks for the comment and support. So definitely look at the silicon hose route. Lots of great kits out there ans they will last well, plus you can get some great colours to match the car exterior paint. 👍🤞

Certainly is in the UK when you factor in the dead ones and the ones off the road. Probably 20 or so.
