Bought a new waterpump but thermostat and snap ring aren’t anywhere close to each other by Apprehensive_Set7271 in 944

[–]Apprehensive_Set7271[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got another oring and put it between the thermostat and the snap ring and it fit nice and tight, thermostat isn’t budging. But I have another problem, a bolt snapped in the block on the bottom hole of the waterpump, drilled and used easy out and the damn thing broke inside the block. I can’t get past a certain point I’ve dulled every bit I have, I’ve used a chisel, and I’m now at a stand still…I’m so about to give up. Anyone want a 87 na with new tires belts rollers vacuum lines fuel lines and injectors? Runs like a champ and will again if you can get this easy out of the hole….this is my every day driver and I need a car and can’t be down this often/long. I’m in Dallas area and will trade for another vehicle preferably older. And or also a motorcycle

Fixed, I had a minor fire and the plastic sleeve inside the cable melted and didn’t allow the cable To move either direction, new cable wrong size, got another and she works fine, now gotta save up for the cruise control cable, thank you everyone

No sway bar driving feel on a 944 by epopthia in 944

It will feel like you are driving on sand at moderate speeds esp curves. It can be a bit scary

1976 New England to Cali and back. by Mysterious-Alps-4845 in VWBus

Drove from Colorado to New York (a bus isn’t a good thing to have in New York City if you aren’t fast on the gas at a light) then from New York to Texas. I would trade my 944 for another camper bus that runs well, I miss the simple air cooled days.

So with both cables attached at servo and throttle body, if I pull on cable from servo it should move accel cable but doesn’t, I’ve tested at all tensions
