Great work and information! Im rebuilding the engine on my 944 and got stuck with the head bolts. Im waiting for your approval on the FB group and hope to get some information 😇😄
Hi, I'll see what I can do! While I change A/C parts and occasionally charge a system that is low on freon, I usually farm everything else out to qualified technician. There just isn't enough of a demand for me to buy the tools I need to work on A/C systems, at the moment. If I were to make a video it would be of a technician using the proper tools. I hope that helps!
I have a 1984 944 Porsche with a bad engine it is a M4 4/02, I'm wondering can I use the M 4407 in this car? And if so what differences are there and what do I have to do to make this work?
Just make sure you use the AAV, injectors, and AFM from your car and it will run just fine. The later cars have two blades on the temp sender. You can use it with your spade connector going on the larger one.
Thank you so much, I bought this for my daughter when she was 16. She took it to college and after 2 years it started showing some issues. It has been in the garage for over a year now. She will be excited to get it back...
Hello. I have a 84 944 with a stuck engine. I have the opportunity to get a later model 944. Both have the 2.5 engine and I was wondering how much of a task would it be to swap the later models engine into the early 944.
Not very hard at all, however if you plan to use your electronics then you would need to retain the idle stabilizer valve from your engine, injectors, and air flow meter. Other than that it will bolt right in! Good luck!
+tempest411 The early blocks were used in 85.1 cars. The auto tensioner wasn't introduced until 1987. So you have an 85.5 or 86 engine. I hope that helps!
I have an early (sep 84 build) 85 model and it has the later 2 prong temp unit...maybe the engine is not original? The oprv is the early 3 piece version too.
They each have their pros and cons. I like changing belts on the early cars a little better than the later ones. Getting the belt on with the auto-tensioner can be a pain, but changing the water pump is easier since you can just slide the rear belt cover off over the pulley. On the early cars changing the water pump is more of a hassle since you have to remove the starter and put the flywheel lock on to remove the rear belt cover...
@@edredas why am I not surprised the german manual suggest this route to loosen a bolt, I never had to remove the starter - I have a piece of stainless with two holes in it that fits on one of the 4 holes in the crankshaft pulley/another hole I don't remember in the block. That holds against anything to go nuts on the crankshaft bolt. But surprise I didn't have to, it was torqued to specs and came off easy as pie the first time. My point being there's more than one way to lock the flywheel.
Another great video. I’m in construction but it wants me to start working on Porsche engines as a hobby!! 👍🏻
Great work and information!

very good information. i love it. better to see on video than a dry book.
Seen most og your videos up to now, Nice work.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed them!
Did you ever do the Early and Late oil pan and dipstick comparison?
Not yet, but I have a few oil pans laying around so if I get a chance I may make one! Thanks!
Hey, if you could post a video on updating the 944 A/C system to modern freon that would be great!

Love the information. But what is that horrible noise?
Crickets and cicadas. It was a hot summer night so I had the bay doors open.
@@edredas Wow!

edredas thank you very much sir! I enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!
Great video
Thanks!
Interesting. My engine must be weird as it has characteristics of both; late temp sender, thicker cylinder walls, but manual tensioner.

Seem the older is or look easier to work on

edredas yes, the auto tensioner takes some room, I struggled with all of that!
