Hi
My 86 944 Turbo came out of the bodyshop today - had one of the sills repaired. It has been in storage for approx 3 months. Now this might seem like a given but may I ask:
[1] Is it due to lack of use that the dial on the battery charge reads as 12 (the far right hand side dial I refer to) - I am sure it was higher before. Might be a given and an obvious reason, just wanted to check.
[2] Is it due to lack of use that the oil pressure reads about 3 out of 5 - used to be more around 4, maybe 4.5....and when idle the oil gauge arrow is oscillating quite wildly.
[3] There was a faint bit of fumes/smoke coming from the engine but after a few miles it seemed to clear itself. Is that again down to lack of use?
None of [1] to [3] seemed apparent 3 months ago but like I say it has been SORN and unused for 3 months
Any advice most appreciated.
Best Regards
Julian
