what did you do to your 944 today

Agree black is a lot of work!
The estate looks mint,is it 4wd?
Yes Haldex 4wd like the Golf R. 345 bhp with the dealer fitted ABT module, so it still has the SEAT warranty, which I recently extended for another 2 years. 370mm front discs, 2 degrees negative camber front and rear, adaptive suspension, carbon fibre front splitter, rear spoiler and rear diffuser. 7 speed DSG gearbox which helps it do 0-60 in around 4.5 seconds. It's easier to drive fast than my 944 turbo, and I reckon it would drive away from it in the wet, but the near the limit in the dry, you can feel it's a clever estate, rather than a proper sports coupe like the 944.

This is the only place for a random comment ..
I’m really re-enjoying(is that a word🤣)my 944 (Black T) at the minute,not driven it for a couple of years?
Drove it at the weekend with expectations of not being blown away ,but genuinely I found it utterly charming,hoping to have more fun in it this summer.Jn short it’s a rediscovery ❤️
 
Expensive sounding clonk has gone now...it turned out to be the lining on a handbrake shoe had come adrift. Not suspension expensive, thank goodness, but handbrake lining adrift. But driver's seat has to come out too! Anyway on Saturday a lovely quiet and smooth drive to Cobbs for breakfast, then Sunday to Classic Motor Hub at Bibury

Hi Graham

I done my handbrake shoes recently. No need to remove the drivers seat. Handbrake lever can be removed if needed with the seat in situ. Slightly fiddly but do-able!

Always good when the expected ££££'s isn't as bad as first feared!

When the ignition is switched on the ABS light on the dash should illuminate. When the engine is started the light should extinguish When the car reaches 3-5 MPH the system should carry out a sensor and valve check sometimes a noise can be heard from the front OS wheel arch. If the ABS light stays on after engine start there could be a few reasons for this. 1. Brake light Switch Fault 2. ABS pump Relays 3. ABS relay G20 (944) G22 (968) 4. The ABS ECU Grounds 5. The ABS Wheel Sensor Grounds 6. The ABS Pump Ground 7. The ABS ECU If the light goes out with engine start, then comes on when reaching 3-5 MPH this is caused by a malfunctioning wheel sensor, ground or the sensor. Wheels sensors will only provide output to an oscilloscope for full diagnosis but it is possible to test them with a DVM. When the hub is spun as fast as you can by hand (direction does not matter) the sensor should output a very small voltage AC, they should all be about the same output, for the same spin speed. Checking the resistance will only show they are not open circuit. Checks 1. Make sure the toothed section on the rear of the hubs is free from rust and metallic particles and dirt. 2. Make sure the head of the sensor is also clean and free of dirt. 3. Check cable continuity for the ABS sensor cables. If one sensor puts out a significantly lower voltage than the rest replace it The ABS sensors can be tested at the ECU cable connection. Right Front ECU Plug Pins 21 and 11 Front Left ECU Plug Pins 6 and 4 Rear Right ECU Plug Pins 24 and 26 Rear Left ECU Plug Pins 8 and 9 It is also possible to bridge out the ABS relay G20 / G22 for testing Bridge terminals 87 and 30 in the fuse box. 968 Pins for the ABS Relay Pin 15 Is the voltage sensor from the Altenator ABS ECU Information Two ABS ECU's can be used in our cars but don't be fooled by the part numbers, I have had this checked out by OPC in Polaris which is their parts history system. The ECU that appears on eBay most often 928 618 119 05 This ECU was used between 1984 and 1991 for 928,944,944S2 928 618 118 00 is the later ECU fitted to 968, later 928 This is the correct one for our cars but both will work The later ECU is now only available as an exchange part at the paltry sum of £744.00 plus £200 parts deposit plus VAT Abs Pumps Modulators that can be cannibalised for parts. Porsche 944S2, 968 Standard Abs Modulator Bosch Pump 0265 200 038 Donor Pumps Bosch Pump 0265 200 043 Mercedes W124 Chassis from 190 to 500SL Bosch Pump 0265 200 042 BMW All sorts the light can also be illuminated by low battery voltage
How good is your memory 10 years on? Will be attempting this over Easter 😁
