[944 man]

Youd be surprised how many cars have their fuel/DME relay bypassed. The manuals can also be downloaded from Promax's website, making the firm good for something, at least...

I knew we agreed on almost everything, Simon. This is not a point of disagreement, just to be clear.

Hello and welcome.

The Haynes for these cars is a terrible American thing and as Fen states, its totally useless!!! The info you will gain from the people on this site and the cannell one is all you'l need.

I simply cant believe people bother to bodge dogey bypasses with the fuel relays. They only cost around £20 for gods sake!!!!!

Just as an aside, i don't suppose the reg on your car is A769 MRW is it? Id love to know where my old LUX is.

Welcome on board Mick, we'd love to see some pics as soon as you can take them.

Just in case you didn't know who Promax are and Rick Cannell's site is still down, here is the link to their Manuals download page http://www.promaxmotorsport.com/manuals.htm

Hi Mark and welcome,

You have come to the right place for information and advice, the guys here are great and full of knowledge sounds like you might have bagged a bit of a bargain, tell us more.

Keep an eye on the 944 events thread, plenty going on, where abouts are you?

Look forward to meeting up, seeing some pics, Oh, and good colour choice [][]

Hi Andy and thanks for the welcoming, Yep I think it was a bargain?!? I got it from a guy up in Norfolk who owns a boat yard who I have known for ages, it was sitting for 2 years and he never used it really so we did a deal. anyway I drove it back home and to be honest it felt dangerous over 60mph due the steering?? anyway got it in the garage and the middle steering shaft is worn and one of the front rear wishbone bushes are worn so there is the first 2 jobs!! Also there seems to be a power steering oil leak which I sought of knew about but there is also an oil leak from the engine at the torque tube [&o] which I will have to live with as cant afford to do that just know. a few minor rust issues but that's fine I can deal with them..
so yeah a few jobs but at £3000 I think its still a good car. Oh and I am from Sellindge in Ashford Kent. will try and get some pictures on soon once I work out how to do it lol.

Hello and welcome, fix and enjoy. loads of advice on here for nowt, zilch,nada. [] though opinions can vary []

 

[944 man]

Is it definitely the rear crank seal and not oil that running down from the back of the cam housing? If you get whiffs of burnt oil in the cabin then Id suspect this.
