944 was the first Porsche I drove, as a fresh faced 17yr old it was the company car and I got to drive it to the local hardware to pick up supplies. Now I’m a little longer in the tooth I’ve bought a 1984 944 auto (but please don’t :thumbup: hold that against me 😂) around 18 months ago and I’m slowly bring it back to life.

I’m in the UK and struggling a bit to get my car running right after replacing the 4 front end seals. I think it’s a timing issue but still looking for answers.

From one Rob to another, welcome. No worries on the A/T, all are welcome. You may find issues that M/T owners may not have experienced but it all contributes to the knowledge base that is always growing here. If you are replacing seals, you obviously know your way around tools and engine bays. If you don't have manuals, this site has them in PDF format.
http://p914-6info.net/944%20Manuals.html
You may also know about Clarks Garage, but if not, its an older site from the mid-late 90's focused on 944's. The originator has passed but the site is still available and might be helpful. https://www.clarks-garage.com/
Thanks for joining and sharing.

Howdy, i'm from Edmonton AB, Canada and I got a 86 944 NA at an auction a month or so ago and i've been restoring it and getting her all ready! Just working on cleaning the interior and putting it all back together as i took it apart to clean. But otherwise she runs and drives!
