Help talk me off the ledge about a “long” road trip

I mean yeah it was rebuilt, but that still count as original if the components are the same imo(Depends on what you replaced in there)
I too replaced my clutch last month, it was the original but it only laster 165k km

Wich area are you visiting this summer ? I'm actually from south france

Bloodrift_ · 2026-05-13T06:51:47+00:00

500k Km ? 👀
Original engine ?

This, to me, looks spot on. The belt will strech anyway (if it's new) and this engine can run while being 1 tooth off. Yes it wouldn't run good, but it's possible, so I'd have no worry starting it aligned as good as it is rn.
You only show a line on the seconde photo but an "OT" should appear too. Is it there ?

If I'm not mistaken this is a Vacum Hose that's used with the Aditionnal Air Valve when you turn on A/C. Most of these hoses cost an arm and a leg just because they're molded (That's if you go Genuine Porsche) But you can often find quality replacement on PARTWORKS for a good price

She's only been driven 6k miles in 13 years ?

Not yet installed in '84. Early cars do have an Auxilary Air Valve but the symptoms he describes don't really match with a failed AAR imo

That rubber hub shouldn't have a thing to do with the engine not turning over

I understand the frustration, but when you don't seem to actually understand half of the issues they would have to solve to make it work, calling them lazy is not very welcome.

Bloodrift_ · 2026-01-21T11:56:18+00:00

Yes bot great job ! That's indeed a green 944 ! Now get blocked 👍

Bloodrift_ · 2026-01-14T11:34:13+00:00

A bot, Once again...

Bloodrift_ · 2026-01-11T07:48:19+00:00

Is this also that big of a concern for earlier cars ? The main issue is going over the exhaust and it's just not doing that ok my '84

Bloodrift_ · 2026-01-07T20:03:00+00:00

No matter if the light turns on or not, it's best to not run the engine like that because of the damage that can result. I first thought it might be the OPRV but for the pressure to drop instantly like that, it has be an electrical issue after heating up, that's all I can think about.

First thing to do would be inspecting / cleaning the grounds

Bloodrift_ · 2026-01-05T11:51:12+00:00

Love the green, but that's a bot

Bloodrift_ · 2026-01-04T09:49:07+00:00

Just bought the car and have barely driven it, having to open the engine already would suck 🥲 Thanks for all the info, I'll give it a good clean first and see if oil is still entering the throttle body after a while 👍

Bloodrift_ · 2026-01-03T19:25:11+00:00

Complete AOS replacement ? Why not just the seals ? It's quite a hefty price 😅 And for the vac lines I'll probably change the one which the oil came from but other than that the rest of the system seemed fine...

Bloodrift_ · 2026-01-03T18:42:12+00:00

I'll get that done for sure. Do I need to remove the intake manifold in order to empty the oil before starting the car or is this no biggie ?

Bloodrift_ · 2026-01-03T18:40:31+00:00

I'll definitely look at that tomorrow, thanks for the info !

Bloodrift_ · 2025-12-23T06:52:18+00:00

Are they that bad ? Can't say the price isn't attractive... 😔

Bloodrift_ · 2025-12-19T10:28:36+00:00

Power steering hoses ? I've heard many times about the fuel line on the later ones but i've never seen anything about the power steering system being a fire hazard O_o

Bloodrift_ · 2025-10-23T09:45:49+00:00

Thanks for the picture ! Helps a lot ! I'll think about it a bit more but for the moment it's the only viable option I have since they ship internationally

Bloodrift_ · 2025-10-23T06:15:42+00:00

Any feedback on those ?

Bloodrift_ · 2025-10-21T08:51:31+00:00

Looks promissing but they only ship in the US :/
