Q – My 944 climate control doesn’t work and I am planning to drive it this winter so it has to keep me warm. When I rotate the fan control knob, nothing happens, it just spins. When I rotate the temperature control, I get no heat. Got any hints? This is going to be my…
Q – I opened the glove box on my 1986 944 and the two plastic brackets that keep it from flopping to the floor broke, one right after the other. They are part of the glove box door and when I checked on the price of a new door I practically passed out. Does anyone…
Q – My 928 hatch release is driving me crazy. Sometimes it works and sometimes not. The other thing that’s strange about the car is the window switches. They worked fine until I parked the car for a few weeks and now one works 9 times out of 10 and the other one only works…

Q – My 87 944 has been running like a top and I love the car. Recently I took it in for routine service and the shop found a “chocolate mike shake” in the coolant bottle. I did not notice an overheating or any symptom at all but they are telling me that I have…
Q – My 944 Turbo has a very subtle whirring sound that I hear when I change lanes and load the car from left to right. I just started to notice it. Is there any danger or should I wait until it gets worse. Ed A – I say trust your intuition. If you feel…
Q – My 944 air conditioning worked fine last year but when I fired the car up this spring, there was no cool at all. I wonder if it is time to change the car over to the new Freon. Larry A – If you are considering changing it over, and if it is empty,…
