If you contact McNulters (pauljmcnulty, although I never knew what the 'J' stands for) then he can help you too. He is the Register Secretary for the 944 register, and hence is la grande fromage around these parts which is why we all call him 'Sir' and doff our caps reverentially whenever he enters the room. *

Yeah, right :)

And welcome to the forum 944 newbie. It is wild and riotous here with blood often shed and many tears and tantrums*

* Some, or all of the above may, or may not, be true.

Most people on here have shed blood while working on their 944 at one time or another. I cry with joy every time my S2 eats another 951 for breakfast (I cry often, clearly) and both Simon and Elliot seem to be having a tantrum over on the Breaking-An-S2 thread.

I'd therefore say that ALL of your statement is true. Well done! [;)]

Well blood and tears seem to be true!! blood from whacking my head on an axle stand and tears trying to get my steering shaft back on! it came off without much trouble but had to loosen the rack to get it back in, well its back on now and no free movement anywhere :) got the rear wishbone bushes to do now and in-between that I got to find out why the centre warning light is on with no other warning lights?? Its all good though and I am looking forward to getting out in it and meeting up with some of you guys/girls.
 
Welcome, I have only been here for a short while having bought my 944 last year, there is a wealth of info and help on the forum.

Perhaps meet up at some stage as I'm nearby in Greatstone.

 
Yeah, does sound like an ABS problem of some kind. Sensors are the bits that commonly go but there are other failure points too. Others will know more ....

Had a similar issue with mine, turned out the micro switch at the base of the handbrake was breaking up and shorting out .....

Will take a look at the micro switch as well as all the sensors and check the abs relay too I think.
 
I don't like to post on this forum.....

There are plenty of posts about ABS system on here - it's a simple system but a source of hard-to-find problems. Does the pump self test at approx 5mph? You should be able to hear it. A failure after that point is usually sensors I think. Sensors can look and test OK and still be faulty. They can also be very hard to extract. There is a test procedure for the ABS relay somewhere on the internet.
 
i have a question. Are the 924 and early 944 exterior door handles swappable on 944 s2 1990?

Thanks
 
S2 door handle has a micro switch on it that works with the alarm. 924 /early 944 handles don't have this switch so you can't use them. Also it's probably the little plastic clip that's broken and not the handle. I'm sure if you go onto clarkes garage you'll find a how to to fix the handle.
 
The handles are essentially the same from a mechanical perspective. This used to mean a new handle, but you can buy a replacement (metal) part now, so keep hold of the one that you have. The bit that breaks is common to all Porsche 924 derived handles.

VW handles are not the same though, despite their outwardly similar appearance.
