I got new axles from Amazon $90 each. Look and seem exactly like the OEM!! 19mm hex socket $14 had to get steering knuckle drift kit $32 to get the shoulder bolt out. THAT was a nightmare so $250 total for both axles!

Do you guys know what’s the tourque on the bolts??

Of course, your car is later than mine, My wastegate bracket is mounted to the body of the car, This is a terrible design in 1980.

You can out the flex piece pretty much anywhere, I was going to put it on the horizontal section of the J pipe. It seemed the most logical place.

Sorry, I meant the flange at the wastegate. Once the wastegate is bolted down there is NO room for movement and yet the engine goes move on the mounts, stressing the j pipe flanges.

Right on the money 🤌

When i do it I remove the front beam, radiator and that black sheet steel engine mount bracket. And then i put the bracket back on when the engine is almost down there but still accessible. It helps massively to be 2 persons aswell, then its not that hard to slide it down

Shoulder bolt is a nighmare to get out! Used an air hammer and had to heat the bracket to help loosen

Keep it up!

Man I’m stuck on that crazy shit bolt on the back corner right now I’m so mad idk if I have tools to make my own 😢

I have owned a 1980 924 turbo since 1988. That one was on a very slow mechanical restoration between me and my mechanic. Getting tired on not having it I bought a second one, a 1982 in very good condition in 2017. The turbo has now gone bad so decided to go through the engine. How did you get the pistons for starters. JE may make them but do not have them. Rob bearings, mains, where are you finding these? Great videos. Not many people know these cars.

That looks like a standard s1 clutch plate with the short splines, its a bit hard to tell. Both clutch disc types are available though last time i checked.

Great job - do you have to remove the pan to remove the pump

I just found this set which might work for those hard to reach cover torx bolts. www.autozone.com/ratchets-sockets-and-wrenches/ratchet-and-socket-set/p/duralast-dual-drive-gimbal-ratchet-tamper-proof-torx-star-bit-set-14-piece/569692_0_0

I’m thinking about taking it on. Thanks! My GTS does have some leaking.

get a 123 distributor

Looks nice and clean inside those covers! Worth the awkward position!

good video and explanation,, dont think i could do it, always enjoy watching thanks

Love this project! I had a great first gen that I recently sold (albeit the V6) which was just an amazing daily driver, absolutely loved how over-engineered these cars were. When they're sorted out, even 20 years later, they feel better than most new cars. I found that if I left the car on a trickle charger if it were going to not be driven for a more than 48 hours, all of the electrical gremlins were kept at bay. Otherwise, I would get random false-fault codes that would need to be cleared. Good luck with everything amigo!

I passed in traffic, then saw again at the grocery store on Friday a 2003? Cayenne wrapped in Army green with the 17" 10 spoke wheels, it looked really good. (The driver was also a cute blonde, so I looked a bit longer!) I suspect that paint issues might be covered up on that one, but I wonder how may years you could get out of a wrap. Might be better just to live with the faded paint.

Any updates?

I wanted a Panamera (4) until I read about the necessity of front bumper removal for engine air filter replacement. Twelve bolts later, you can remove and replace the three foot long monster before reattaching the bumper again. I'm sure there's limited space under that slim hood for a twin set of filters, but the idea was such a turn off I bought a Macan instead.

enjoy your videos,i also have 914,thanks

Bad boy was screaming for some cavity wax a long long time ago.

I'm just reading that 1988-1990 Ford Bronco II 2.9L V6 clutch fits.

The Sachs kit that does not fit, is it part# KF298-02 ?

H, what is the part number on that clutch? Is it 047141031C ? That seems to be what the PET says... The PET does not show a different clutch disk for Turbo or even Series2 turbo.

you need to start using metric measurements!

Wow! What a pain... sorry.

Did you figure out your intermittent start? Mine has been out of service since 2019. Working to get it running again, thanks for the info

Personally I love feeling the engine, road, etc. The harder the bushing the better. I put the Powerflex insert in the mount under the transmission in the Macan. Reminds me of the GTi/Scirocco days, LoL If and when I can find a hard bushing kit and control arms with something stiffer I will replace those. Otherwise back to Lemforder I guess.

Mine ran real well with dual carbs. I don’t think I would use the filter that reduces the size of the fuel line. You will starve the system. There is a reason Porsche used the size fuel line they did.For some reason at 3000 rpm’s mine took off almost like I had more fuel pressure. Or maybe by 2nd carb was fixed to come on at 3000 rpm. Don’t know much about dual one barrel carbs, but mine really took off above 3000.

Horid Rust

Nasty rust, much more hiding behind what is seen

Hi, I need a set of motor mounts. Let's connect when you get those.

Is this the "DX" engine they used in the GTi? My BFF drove one, a 1984?

Thanks for the walk through, very valuable.

what is the correct term used for those 'triple square bolts'?

I just had my axle ruined by a dodgy cv boot replacement. I think i'm better replacing entire drive shaft

Brown and white goes to the pressure switch on the pressure pipe going from the turbo to throttle body.

Sounds like you've got a pot out dude😮

Thanks for doing this. Appreciate that you are sharing knowledge.

Thank you for all your videos. You have helped me out a lot. I have a 1973 914 just about the same problems. I like the way you solve your problems with the car thanks again 914 owner I love the car.

As a very recent owner of a 924 Turbo with zero knowledge this is so helpful in understanding how it all work. Thankfully I don't have any leaks (yet), so I am hoping you finish this series before I have to get to this point. Excited to see what comes next.

hi, i recently found your video series. Having worked on these for ages its always interesting to see someone else working on them for the first time. Before you do anything else take the turbo off and remove that turbo gasket, it should only be the ring (if you have the groove) or the gasket. If you put both in there it will start to leak and it will be hell to change it as you pointed out. Theres also a specific torque sequence on the hot side to reduce the risk of cracking, which oculd be good to follow. If you want i can send over all the factory manuals if you dont have them, therese a bunch more in them compared to haynes which can be a bit shaky on this car. BTW, those turbo bolts look like std grade bolts, you should use something high spec that can handle the heat, or they will loose the clamping force over time. Ill gladly help if you have any more thoughts around the engine rebuild :)

Great video. Not many out there showing step-by-step work on the 931. Will be valuable for years to come!

🎉

Thanks for doing this.

Do you have video of lower end assembly and pistons install?

You used RTV sealant around the head gasket? Is that what is called for in Haynes manual or you did that for insurance?
