After just 9 months of ownership, 2000 euro worth of parts, and a trip to the netherlands i think i just want to be done with this thing.

I saved up 9000 euro from my first job out of high school f ...

Managed to do it.
Bought two OEM-replica mounts made by Hamburg Technic and managed to do the job over about three days.

Worst part was taking the starter heat shield off and breaking the top bolt ...

I will see if i can take off tne compressor to see if there are is any horrible looking metallic sludge in the system or anything, even if it all did work normally last time i used it.

That sucks greatly, my condolences!

I converted mine to 134a with just a direct empty, clean (rinse the individual parts with refrig solvent), vacuum and fill. Still all original parts. Honestly, w ...

Well nevermind.

Previous owner (Mechanic shop that held it for a while and sold it to me) filled the system up with R134a but it hasnt been adapted for it and the compressor's seals likely just fai ...

Hey all.
Recently after taking down the undertray to look at the engine mounts, i discovered that the entire AC compressor was coated in oil and so were some surroundings.
I dont see how any oil fro ...

I replaced the broken spring in mine and that made a world of difference.

Interesting. I saw the spring priced at some honestly weird prices for a spring, but certainly cheaper than replacing both ...

Interesting idea of retrofitting the 2.5L mounts... I'd be down to try if I could get my hands on a pair.

On my relentless quest to quiet down my 1983 2.0 NA, i returned to the one issue i suspected since day one of owning this car. The damned engine mounts.

What i am facing is an intense vibration i f ...

One question might be how much of the original padding you still have...

I ended up removing quite a bit of my original padding (US-spec 82 931), between the mix of it being somewhat rotted and wan ...

Is it exhaust drone, road noise or wind noise?

Not sure ATM, i could check tomorrow but i believe its mostly road noise and some exhaust if not a bit of all three.

Hey all.

Any recommendations for sound deadening materials? My '83 924 gets kind of annoyingly loud at highway speeds and while by no means deafening it sure is irritating.
I am thinking of applyi ...

I bought a pair of Vibra Technics POR174M Fast Road engine mounts since those on my '83 924 are shot and resonate and make the shift lever vibrate at around 2500 rpm and stopping at 3k.

Those mount ...

'83 924.
I recently replaced the brake shoes and pistons, and now the handbrake barely does anything.
I am stumped as to how you are supposed to tighten the damn thing, as the shoe adjusting wheels ...

Exhaust touching something.
Will check when on a lift. I just hope its that and not the clutch or torque tube bearings
