Porsche 924 | Rear Wheel Bearing And Drains 

Changing the boot fluid, classic.

I wonder how many other people had to pause and visit the toilet during this video.......... :P

It needs mudflaps to stop all the dirt on the rear quarters.

Testament to the importance of small details. Omission or fracture of this small scupper tray has likely caused grief for many 924 owners. Great Vid 🍻

I've got my 924 just after you did. I learn a lot watching these video's, thanks! Also in the process of fixing the unintended water ingest in the back. So far I've replaced the hatch seal, hatch lock seal and refitted the rear lights with RTV. The rear drains from the targa roof and the fuel filler drain also end up in the lower spaces left and right of the trunk. I suppose Porsche designed the 924 with some holes in the back.. There is no overpressure vent anywhere, and air which enters the cabin has to go somewhere, so they must have thought not to seal it up that much. The Internet also mentions exhaust fumes being sucked in when a window or the roof is opened up. Maybe that is why my new blower motor is running even when it's set to off, to always get some fresh air in?

Awesome video! My 924 is mostly under cover however when left in rain recently boot filled up with water. Just went and checked the boot latch drains and both side were disconnected (actually found the hoses in the sill wells!) Refitted and I’m sure it will be fine now!!

You could have something 3d printed for that missing plastic part.

You have a great array of tools. I know I would be interested so i would like to think overs would be as well in a Video about some of the more crazy tools you have and also the ones you can't live without?

Yes, this was actually really funny😂

For the exhaust fumes, look at latch pins on the glass side… If I remember well, you should be able to adjust the seal preload by screwing them in to compensate the latch mechanical wear. On my 81 it solved the problem…. sold this car in 95.

So nice you can do that job without removing the brake shoes.

Excellent steady work!

I've been struggling with the same hatch leaks in my 924. After replacing every seal/gasket/grommet, cleaning the drip trays and hoses, it ended up being the seal between the glass and the aluminium hatch frame. Looking online the deterioration of this seal seems to be inevitable on every 924/944. People more competent than myself have separated these and resealed them, but as I didn't have a garage I tried to patch it up with windscreen sealant on the front and back which so far has worked. Hope you don't have this issue as it's not fun to fix!

Good job. Envious of this car.

Exhaust fumes in the cabin are a common problem on the 924, typically if you drive with window open. Can be multiple things like, poor sealing round gear lever, unsealed holes in the rear panel, poorly sealing rear light clusters and often the rear hatch seal. Even with a new hatch seal don't rule that out, it may not be compressing evenly. The best troubleshooting method is using a smoke bomb and seeing were that escapes from. Good luck!

In the UK you can register your Porsche on the Porsche Classic Register at your local main dealer. You get some nice free stuff as well as discounted parts which are often cheaper than the aftermarket suppliers. I’m not sure if the same applies in Denmark?

Morning! 👍

The rear hub and bearing cover looks very like that of a Beetle. The car shows its roots... I wonder how easily those drain pipes get blocked up by dirt over time? Are boot leaks a big 924 issue?

How easy it to replace rear wheel bearing on a Porche 924 l have seen in other cars were you need a press obviously when they designed the Porche 924 to make changing the rear wheel bearings

Blow those rear spoiler drains

Excellent work!

good work

Thanks

very nice videos and cool to watch! But why don't you dampen the noise of your tools? That would make it even nicer! cheers

0:05 Go see a doctor... 😂😂

12:00 Do you have a 3d printer and print one?

Are Porsche videos in chronological order? How it cames this side and paint is not shinny (fast polished like tw or 3 videos ago), drums are already rusty, when they were put new...

Why would you care about fixing mechanical problems when you could easily get more views by polishing fadded yellow paint? Wash it with foam and manually like there were no Automatic Car Washing Tunnel machines and call it a day.
