    Wow, Brent. It didn't look better in -84 ! About the windshield washer pump, I had one that was stuck, but compared to the newer type replacement, it's actually a better built pump. Also contrary to the newer one, it's serviceable. So I opened it, which was unexpectedly easy, cleaned it (grinding off a bit of rust from the laminated rotor) and gave it a drop of oil, and it still works for me.. but you probably done that already.

      @@edredas If same way as the starter motor- Very fast indeed. But seriously besides the only new one I could get over here (EU) was inferior quality, just one block of plastic, it was my daily drive and I opted to fix the old one for the same reason, time. Not working time, though. It would have taken me longer to wait for parts. Autumn in Norway can be rally wet and I already had to stop once on the highway after a truck in front left me completely blind without washer fluid.

      Not yet but it’s pretty easy to remove. There’s just a bolt up top then two down below. You’ll also have to pop up the headlights to drop it out the bottom. 85.5 and later require a bracket to be removed underneath while 88 and later models have smaller tanks. I hope that helps!

    Do you have a video on how to fix a rear hatch that is delaminating from the frame? I was told by a Porsche specialist shop it is a real bear of a job. I want to do this on mine cause they said this is why i cant get my hatch to pop open.

    • @edredas
      @edredas  4 роки тому

      No, and unfortunately I'll probably never make one, although I get asked all the time. There's a lot of reasons why, mainly because I have too many cars at the shop these days it would take too much time. Not to mention good hatches are rather cheap so its just easier to replace them in a few minutes for a few hundred rather than someone paying me a few hundred an hour to fix them, when that could end up costing a few grand. So, it doesn't make sense at the end of the day. That said, if I ever have the chance I will make a video on the process. From what I've heard, stay away from silicone and only use products that bond to glass. I hope that helps!

    i have been looking around for a new (-) & (+) battery cable assy and they are pricey. looks like removal and replicating the oem with a part with all the correct cable sizes is the way to go. I'm having a low charging issue, if the car is jumped it stays on and runs fine. shut it off and start it again it seems fine, but the cables' insulation is almost all gone. the copper is corroded on both.

  • @jesse7flying1
    @jesse7flying1 5 років тому +1

    Just wondering how you get that nice sheen on those plastic parts, not too much, just right Brent. Really nice as always.

    • @edredas
      @edredas  5 років тому +2

      I try to be mindful of what I use. Products like Armor All tends to look nice for a few minutes but then you can't really tell you applied anything at all. Then you've got some petroleum based products that last a long time but have some unintended side effects. Products like tire shine work great and while the sheen lasts longer, sometimes it leaves behind a brown residue once it fades that cannot be removed. So that's fine on tires which are consumable, but not ideal on engine bay parts. I also have to use this stuff around aluminum parts, so petroleum based stuff is out since it will turn aluminum a dark brown. So, what I use may sound weird but its just regular old WD-40. Its water based and I just leave it on until it dries. The sheen will last a while and you can just rinse it off at anytime without anything being left behind. Best part is it also prevents aluminum from oxidizing and won't turn it any odd colors. I hope that helps!

    The cluster is old in these cars can I change it to a update 1 or better lighting

    • @edredas
      @edredas  4 роки тому +1

      What year is your car? If you have an early car (82-85.1) you can try brighter incandescent bulbs. I have a few early cars and can see everything clearly, but going to 924S gauges which have white numerals may also help. LED bulbs tend to focus the light in one area while leaving the rest of the face dark, so keep that in mind. The later gauges cannot be installed into an earlier car and they are often dimmer than the earlier cars, so there is no upgrade there. However if you have an 85.5 and later car you can make the gauges brighter by fixing the reflective material and also adding brighter bulbs as well. Since these gauges are back lit with the light being projected onto the front of the gauges the are often not as bright as the early cars, even when working properly. I hope that helps!

  • @tempest411
    @tempest411 4 роки тому +1

    Did you just clean up the cast aluminum pieces, or paint them as well? How did you reattach the blower motor shroud? On an '84 that I have I was thinking of trying to come up with a mechanical fastening system. That black gunk took forever and a day to clean up. There's no way I'm using that!

    • @edredas
      @edredas  4 роки тому

      Yes all the aluminum was cleaned and no paint was used. As for the shroud, the black stuff released cleanly from the shrouds so there was no mess. Then I just stuck the new one back on and heated it up with the the heat gun. It’s back on like it was never replaced.

    • @edredas
      @edredas  4 роки тому

      Thanks, yes the issue is often a problem with the pads being worn or the mechanism itself needing adjustment. There is a method that must be used when reinstalling the disc to assure proper operation of the hand brake. If the pads look good and do not appear to be glazed over, use the pad adjustment dial to move them out as far as possible but still allow the disc to go on. The tighter the fit the better. You'll want them to be extremely snug against the disc and then if that was the issue, then the brake should hold with just two tiny clicks. I hope that helps!

  • @johannazych
    @johannazych 4 роки тому +1

    I'm experiencing a no crank issue with my 87 924S. I turn the key and all I get is a click. I replaced the battery and starter and cleaned all connections so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any ideas?

    • @edredas
      @edredas  4 роки тому +1

      All sorts of variables there at this point. Someone could have added an alarm and hacked up the wiring... I had that happen once. It could also be a bad ignition switch. They're known to crack and cause all sorts of issues. However I would start with the wiring. Make sure you are getting continuity between the wire at the starter solenoid and the switch. There is also a wire that runs from the battery to the switch, that you'll need to verify is sending power. That wire was what they cut when they installed that alarm. If you have power at the switch but its not making it to the starter, then it will be a broken switch. Anyway, that should get you started. I hope that helps!

    • @johannazych
      @johannazych 4 роки тому

      Thank you so much for the advice! I replaced the ignition switch and that seemed to do the trick for a few days. Now the same problem has returned. I'll check the continuity and wiring and see what I discover. Really appreciate your helpful feedback!

      Hi, there are a lot of random wires back there that don't plug into anything unless you have optional equipment. For instance if you don't have the rear wiper the wires will just be back there not connected to anything. That said, what have you checked so far? I would start with the basics. Jump the DME relay and then check for tach bounce. Afterwards check the sensors and fuel pump. I hope that helps!

    • @edredas

      I used the original pistons for this engine. The stock pistons have an iron coating to prevent the silicone in the alusil block from wearing the piston skirts but will work just fine with a steel sleeve. So while you can put just about any piston in a sleeved engine, you need a ferro coated piston in an alusil block. Thanks!

      I have done it before and it works to some degree. I did it just to see how it would hold up compared to the plating. However in person the plating has an iridescent look to it with reds and greens. That can be simulated with some colored stain and then clear coated, but if you're going to go to all the trouble, the plating is not that expensive. You can get all the bolts and every part plated for about $150 or so and its a lot less work. I hope that helps!
