anybody have a spear one? . i wonder does audi's engine heater fit to my -87 924s? Some one said that cost 'bout 150euros and that sounds quite expencive to me. I think it should be near 100$? I bought that porsche from Germany but in Finland we need engine heaters. in January there will be something like -25celsius so I think i'll be needing one.
Hey! and 'bout the power steering... I wonder that should there be a powersteering in every 924s? I searched under the hood but I couldn't even find the pipes that should come from the pump.. I don't know... I bet that porsche should be quite impossible to drive without power steering if there should be one. I bet that it should be quite stiff...

Ari, as per the power steering the 924/931 never came with it, the 924S (87/8 did come factory with it, however there are a few places that do have the pwer steering delete kits as imo they aren't needed on these cars, not enough rubber or weight to justify it. _________________ 3 928s, |

Anybody ever try to put 944 power steering into an early 924/931? _________________ 1980 924 Turbo |

I tried to do figure out how to do it when I was stripping a 944.
I gave up when I realized that the only place I could mount the pump would be in the A/C compressor's place.
I'd rather have the A/C.
My 931 with 205/55x16 tires is a bear to turn at low speeds, plus I'm on my 2 ond steering shaft. |

Why would you want to? I've seen a whole bunch of people swap 944 PS racks for the early 944 non-PS racks because of the better feel, but I have never heard of anyone going the opposite direction. Most people want to delete the PS system and lose the weight and the drag on the engine.
