Thanks for the time and effort to create these videos. I know the video in itself is time consuming and a pain! Your videos should help people understand that every car, American, Japanese or German can be repaired! I admire your patients and logical approach to the trouble shooting and repairs.
17:15 Imagine if everyone strives for this! 😊
Wow a lot of work. Nobodies fault. It's an old car with many worn parts. Trying to maintain an old car like this takes quite a bit of money and you can hardly blame the past owners for neglecting the car. In the aircraft world where they do constant maintenance, they can tell you how expensive it is to stay on top of things.
A lot of work, a work of love. Thanks again for sharing your experiences, did not know those throttle bodies had seals that needed replacing, did not see that coming.
Yeah, I sometimes you get lucky and the seals aren't that car gone, but I'm not sure why its still leaking there. Maybe having the throttle body was damaged by that boost pipe being shoved against it for years. Thanks!
@@edredas are you sure you didn't leave an extra intake runner gasket when reinstalling it? ;)
As a Porsche fanatic who can not afford to buy a 944, it pains me to see them in such disrepair. I love watching your videos and the amount of effort you put into making them, and even more important the amount of effort you put into keeping these cars alive. Goin to sub right now!
Thanks for subscribing! This car has since been repainted and it looks amazing now! I'll be doing some more work to it later on so I'll post some updates on it!
@@edredas Nice, I'll be watching out for the updates!
I always sniff around UA-cam for Porsche videos and found yours to be quite enjoyable. Most I find on other channels don't go in depth or are just basic overviews of the cars. My uncle restored a 912 which some added updates from newer 911's when I was younger and I became addicted with Porsche lol. I look through Craigslist every so often just to see what's selling, although I probably shouldn't seems I can't afford one lol. I could if I could stop sinking money into my CUCV though. The front axle just cost me $2000 to overhaul!
Thanks for all of the videos Brent. They are an inspiration for me to work on my 944s!
No problem! Glad you enjoy them! Good Luck!
Is it safe to say the replacement parts list was the same price as the car if not 2x? What a beauty, worth reviving 100%
Definitely took a lot to bring her back, but since I don't know how much the owner paid to buy it, then its hard to say if it was double the price to repair it. That said, since then its also been repainted and being well taken care of. Thanks!
@@edredas awesome to se how you revive these beauties!
Compressor also could be toast. I just threw on a new one to get new clutch seals and orings.
I'm thinking that or perhaps the expansion valve is stuck.
Just needs a new oil pan!! right..
"I few squirts of RT filler in the oil pan crack and she'll be good to go!" pshhh, that's no way to treat your art.
Looks like the owner was working on a tight budget of maybe about USD5000 for all those parts and labor and serious brain power and skills to make it happen.
I just bought the same colours in a 1989 951 and gave my car to my mechanic last week for the overhaul...how...relevant. :). I’m looking forward to doing my own work, inspired by your videos after I get it back. I’d be curious for more info or a segment on the transition you did from the original refrigerant to R134a. Did I understand that you were changing type entirely?
Man talk about scope of work creep! Just problem after problem. i hope the owner was understanding.
Yeah, he was. He ordered most of those parts and wanted them replaced. Nothing worse than getting a car together only to have it ruined by old parts wearing out.
Speaking of old parts my car came with a spare, new in box water pump. The receipt says its from the late 1990's. Thing its safe to use with a new gasket?
@@tiderfish Ooof. I wouldn't. Too many things could go wrong since the seal inside is rubber and could either be mush or dried out. Of course it could be fine but that's not a risk I'd be willing to take considering the size of the job. I'd just get a new one and call it a day...
one thing after another! how many hours did you put into this in the end?
Somewhere around 100 hours!
Could a bad expansion valve cause the A/C issue? That the only bottleneck after the compressor is on.
And URO??? That car isn't going far I hope.
Yeah, I think it is the expansion valve since theres no pressure on the high side. It could be the compressor but I would think that when the system is off then the pressure should equalize, but it doesn't. The High side stays lower than the Low side even when off so I'm thinking the valve is stuck.
Possibly the pressure switch is bad or not connected?
The clutch on the compressor is controlled by the pressure switches and was engaged, so they had to be working properly. I'm thinking that maybe the expansion valve is stuck...
Ah yeah, could be
What did you end up charging for this much work?
I usually keep the exact prices private between the owner and I. However, with parts this was easily a $5k job. I hope that helps!
About how much labor cost?
Hi, labor is $65 an hour so the amount of work I performed on this car is usually in the $4k-$5k range. I hope that helps!
great job,
passion, commitment.. awesome
why would there be different throttle body seals for track or street? track has square cross section while street has round, why? And thanks for posting these videos, always awesome!
I believe the track seals are much better at sealing than the street seals. However the instructions mentioned that track seals can slow the opening and closing of throttle plate down a bit. I've never personally had that issue or if it did it wasn't noticeable to me so I prefer the track seals. Anyway, I hope that gives you a better idea of the differences. Thanks!
Great video thanks . Could you tell where did you buy the throttle body seals, thanks again.
Arnnworx has them. Here's a link!

Sorry , I forgot to ask and the venturi o ring where did you get it ?
Its also included in the throttle body kit!
You have you lines backward. Low is the easy one to get to by the strut tower.
Some turbos have the high and low pressure ports side by side there, but this one does not. Small line is always the High pressure side, to it is correct for this car. Thanks!
