I pulled seats out of an '85.5 944, one was power, same fit as the 925 seats... I have the power cables in that car still if you need em.

Thanks, I think that is what I will be starting with. I drained all the old oil out of the car last weekend, and will be filling with new full synth 20w 50 on Friday. I'm hoping its the turbo causing ...

I'm getting smoke out of the exhaust consistently at idle. Starts outheavier, and then lightens up as the engine warms up. I'm planning to do a leak down test before jumping to conclusions, but I susp ...

Issue was resolved. It wasn't the grounds as much as there was no current running through 15 at the fuse box. Thank you MrPink for sorting that out. Now just to sort out the timing, and a few small is ...

I saw this one on the list, and was really tempted to make the drive to see it. I never did go up, and actually found my car only an hour north of me.

Is this the silver 931 that was for sale up in Buffalo about a year ago?

That manifold is pretty beat... pm me if you decide to replace it. I have an '80, and a friend has and '82 manifold.

I'm getting started on my second 931 restore, and somewhere along the line the factory AC was pulled.

I'm wondering what gauge came in S1 931s that didnt have AC from the factory. Anyone have any p ...

I should have started with this, but I'm an idiot, so I was looking for bigger problems. The GF and I cleaned up all the grounds last night. The 3 in the trunk were atrocious...

I have the battery ...

where can I get a Bosch CIS testing kit? the one linked in Ideolas write-up is NLA.

I was using the borrowed multimeter, and confirmed my readings from yesterday. I also tested the voltage at the I ...

You would want to search the 944 forums for potential leads, your 2.5l engine is the same as the 944 n/a. There are very few parts compatible between the 924/931with an audi 2.0l and the 924s with a p ...

It seems my multimeter may have been giving intermittent fault readings... the display is missing pixels on certain settings, making 6s look like 0s, 9s like 7s and all such fun. I guess thats what I ...

I finally got a chance to get at the car with a Multi-meter tonight.

I started by resetting the timing. The crank / cam marks were slightly (1-2 teeth on the cam) out of sync. I set it properly and ...

Thanks Ideola, that write up was most helpful. Im glad it does not assume the reader knows anything. I've gone down the initial check list, the last item I need to test is the igition control unit... ...

I've been reading that thread. This part doesn't make sense tho:

Next step will be going back and making sure the fuel pump relay works. Easiest thing to start with is dropping it back in once th ...

Jumpered the ignition switch, The car starts up, and runs, but dies as soon as I take the starter off.

To jumper the boost switch, do I run a positive charge from the battery?

I'm at a loss to w ...
