Q – The window switch for the right window on my 944 feels funny and only the switch on the right door activates the window. I could just buy a switch but I hate to waste the money if it won’t fix the problem. What do you suggest? Bill Well Bill, you might need the…
Q – My Carrera 2 stalls right after I start it in the morning. It always starts right back up but it never used to do this. It was an occasional problem but now it happens every time in the morning. Fred Good news on two counts: 1) it happens all the time (intermittent problems…
Hi MC I am one of the forgotten club members. I have a 1987 928 S4 (a.k.a. Shark) with about 85,000 miles on it. The car is all over the road and it follows the ruts like they were railroad tracks. I was hoping that I just need an alignment but a friend says that…
Q – Help! My 96 Turbo is making me crazy. I love the car but I can’t stand it any more. It smokes so badly that I could fog for mosquitoes and charge for it. The final straw was when I started it last week and my neighbor came over and asked if he should…
Q – I just bought a 1989 944 Turbo with only 27,000 miles. I love the car but the clutch pedal is very hard to push. My wife has a hard time driving the car. Is this normal for a turbo or will I need a new clutch? Harry A – Cross your fingers, you…
Q – I know this is an odd problem but I am at my wits end. I have a 58 Porsche and it will not crank reliably. I have replaced the starter, the battery, wire harness, and ignition switch but sometimes it still won’t crank. On a car this nice, it is very embarrassing. Got…
Q – My radio reception is terrible. It was so bad that I replaced the stereo but it didn’t help. Every time I take it in for service, it works fine but whenever I get out of the city I can’t pick anything up. The antenna is built into the windshield and it was cracked…
Q – I have a 1984 Targa and my windows go up too high. It makes it hard to shut the door unless I lower the window a little. The window hits side of the weather-stripping and then the window sticks out. It also leaks! I removed the door panel and I could see a…
Q – I have a 1985 Carrera and since it is my first Porsche, I probably got in a little over my head but here goes. It has an oil leak at the pipe connecting the engine to the oil thermostat (it’s the one with two solid steel ends and some braided hose in the…
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…
