This week we are getting this light bronze metallic Porsche 944 back on the road after sitting 14 years. This was originally the owners mother's car who had bought it brand new back in 1983.

I appreciate your knowledge with these 944’s. I’m not an owner, I drive a 986, but I’m going to subscribe because these videos are awesome.

Great work in "bringing back-to-life" this great 944. In 2019 I bought a 1983 Porsche 944 in a reasonable good working condition, and about the same color has the one in your video here. About a year after owning it, the car didn't want to start and thanks to your videos,..I managed to narrow it down to the starter relay under the dashboard, near the driver's foot well. After ordering a new one and installing it in,..it starts great, first time, every time. Thanks for another great informative video of a 944.

Nice vid as always. Great intro, that's actually a real introduction. Better late than never 😆✌

@edredas 2 года назад

Yeah I was going to do one when I hit 5k subs and then it just got really busy around here. So I figured it was way past time. Thanks! 😀

Georgia car! Cool. Thanks for fixing it up!

@NC944er 2 года назад

With the timing belt in the condition it was, it may have been a hidden blessing from the German god of engineering that it failed to start in 2006. 🤣 Love the new intro and backstory on this one! Cheers!

@edredas 2 года назад

I know right! I do think they were planning to try and work on it before bringing it here, but one of the spark plugs broke off so they decided against it. So glad that the key was never turned!

@tobysirus4996 2 года назад

Hats off to you edredas! I know you probably work on these cars in your sleep.I rescued one of mine from the crusher.Nothing sadder then a Porsche 944 thats benn sitting for years especially if the concealed headlamps are up and staring at you. Id like to save them all if I could.Thanks for another great video.

@jeanphil1520 2 года назад

Nice job !!!

@PhuocCV 2 года назад

944 is my favourite car, but in my country they are extremely rare and hard to find accessories for the replacement. One time i see a 944 on the car website in very bad condition, i would buy it but i can not find any place to fix it. If i can find someone like you, i must get a 944. Great works and great videos. Keep it up!

@edredas 2 года назад

Thanks! They are much cheaper in the US where they are plentiful! Find one here and have it fixed up then shipped to you! Just a thought and it might save you a lot of money!

@the_appointed1142 2 года назад

I greatly appreciate this. My car just had some problems starting and have had no luck finding the problem. But it was the exact same as yours! So I'm just gonna change out the ignition switch! Thanks so much

Brent i have been watching you for a few years and your repair tips have been fantastic. I currently have a Porsche 944 1989 S1 and will touch base with you regarding a few things that need t be done.

@stejacjam660 2 года назад

As usual great video, don't own one but love the in depth fault finding and rectification methods.

@kennethsuire8213 2 года назад

Hello Brent , Thanks for the video...would you have any info On how to inspect evaporator core, THANKS A BUNCH

@epicars6902 2 года назад

You have in depth video on removing belt for early 944?

@edredas 2 года назад

Just one on installing the belt, but it should give you an idea of how to remove it. Depending on the year it isn't too difficult. I hope that helps!

For those interested in the backstory of this car, here’s a link to a video of the original owner’s grandson talking about the car and showcasing it a bit - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yqjl5LCtMtY.html

@ThePhillkillv2 2 года назад

Brent, have you thought of making a website? I was looking to see if you had one but there’s nothing. Anyways, I was wondering how much you’d charge to diagnose and fix a no start issue and spruce up some wiring. Mine is a 1983 and it hasn’t ran in about a year due to the wiring - how much do you charge per hour? Also, I love your channel. The best of the best. I like how you do your work without fancy garages with lifts and what not.

@edredas 2 года назад

Thanks! I used to have a website but it didn't get much traffic so I started using facebook. It was a much easier to update and create a following for next to nothing, but it looks like it's down today. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to build another website given the situation. That said, we charge $125 per hour for electrical work. Thanks again!

@mylenderserg5130 2 года назад

this is awesome how good you know this car... i have a 1983 from original owner, tries to start but wont, owner said had been sitting for a few years and he changed the entire gas line system and gas pump ? where are you located if i wanted to bring it to you ? DM me thanks E!

@edredas 2 года назад

We are located near Charlotte, North Carolina.

@multipurposepaperbox 2 года назад

Wonderful! Lovely to hear the story too. Brent, which brand balance belt do you typically use? I've got one which has an indent/dimple on each tooth, and it's making a very whiny noise. Running the engine without the belt sounds fine, but no matter the tension in the balance belt, it sounds like I've over tightened it.

@edredas 2 года назад

You have a high performance belt which is made up of a stronger material, so it is normal for it to be louder. That said, I use Gates belts. I hope that helps!

I have a 1989 944 with a 2.7 for sale in iowa I put a new front main seal in and water pump on its not running just needs finished putting back together I'm asking 1200 for it or best offer it's in iowa

Where do you get your parts from ?

Most of the stuff you see was ordered from Pelican Parts. No Affiliation.

@notny411 2 года назад

what does it mean when you say you got the injectors rebuilt?

@edredas 2 года назад

I meant to say I had them 'serviced' but during editing I just had to roll with what slipped out of my mouth and didn't catch at the time. That said, I sent them out to RC fuel injector to be cleaned and flow matched. They replaced the filters, pintle cap, and O-Rings. So, kinda rebuilt, but 'serviced' would have been more accurate statement. Thanks!

@notny411 2 года назад

@@edredas Thank you for the clarification. I am about to pull my injectors out and run some carb cleaner through them and put new o-rings on. Apparently I have the Siemens 80 lb injectors that go with the Vitesse MAF kit. Hoping that those use the same o-rings as the original injectors since I bought the o-rings that are for the original injectors.

Hey man!!! Waiting on the title for our 46,000 mile red 83 944 !! Storage unit for 6 years !!! Last inspection in 03 !!!!!Repaint, 30 miles on complete engine and transmission rebuild!!!! The analog oil gauge goes straight to 5 and stays there , seems like electrical issues, any thoughts??😀😀😀🍺🍺🍺🍺

@edredas 2 года назад

If it does it without starting the engine then it’s likely the wires on the sender are swapped around.

@artmchugh5644 2 года назад

Thanks man !!! A photo of the new unit is coming to your email!!! Tell me those aren't the nicest wheels for a 944 !!😂😁😁😁😁🍺🍺🍺

@karlolucic4599 2 года назад

I'm not sure but is it possible that the engine makes the ticking noise

@edredas 2 года назад

Its the injectors batch firing. I can't really hear it on this car as much as on others through my headphones but they all make it to some degree. Thanks!

@karlolucic4599 2 года назад

Thanks for clarifying to me man, keep up the good job👍
