the oil drain plug is located at the bottom of the sump under the engine. If memory serves you will need a hex bit to remove it.
Key in Hatch Lock, Turn anti-clockwise (according to my '84 944 NA). Electric release on lower forward side panel -forward of drivers door.
The Porsche 944 appeared in 1982 as a brawnier update to the 1975-1988 Porsche 924. Porsche began exporting the 944 to North America the following year. It was introduced in the US as a 1983 1/2 model, and was a 'benchmark' automobile for other sports cars to be compared to for the next decade.
An infant seat (in which the infant lies on his or her back with his head toward the front of the vehicle) will fit behind the passenger seat provided that the passenger seat is neither leaning back too far nor slid back too far. This coule make the passenger seat uncomfortable for a tall passenger.
The fuel filter is located at the back, near the fuel tank. It is above the rear axle on the right hand side.
go to the store buy yourself some h3 bulbs then grab yourself a star screwdriver and take the two screws out from the front
This is a tricky question, because the transaxle is made of several parts, on a 944 there are2 "stub" axels on each end of the transaxle which are held on by i believe 6 bolst to the CV joint itself, which will come apart into several peices, easiest way to ess with this is to just replace the peice between he stub axles, depending on your location i have the number to a Porsche junkyard, or eBay is another option to do it cost efficiently.
The fuel pump is located at the fuel tank. To access it you need to remove a metal cover containing the fuel tank and pump.
Unlatch the two roof latches above driver and passenger. Partially press the roof switch on the dash to unlock the bolt. Push roof up manually. You will need to exit the car and reach your arm under the roof to push it open. It is quite heavy and needs some strength to carefully lift it away from the car. It is stored in boot when not in use - on my model Porsche supplied a very snug-fitting zip cover to avoid it getting scratched. To refit roof ensure the wind deflector at front of roof opening is verical then carefully place roof onto the deflector before lowering into place. This also requires some strength. I think it would be difficult for a person of slight stature. Finally reclip latches and press roof open switch to test ok.
Front or rear bumper? if its the front, all the lamps have to come out then remove the bolts from underneath.
No is the easiest answer. As well as the turbo you would have to uprate the con rods, crank shaft, ECU, fuel pump, fuel lines injectors, fuel rail etc etc etc. it would be easier to drop a turbo engine in and uprate the suspension. I think you might also need to look at the diff too. Maybe just sell you 944 n/a and buy a turbo.
Yes upgrading to a turbo from an n/a will cost you more than selling the n/a and buying a turbo. The gearing in the transmission needs to be changed, the ring and pinion gear also need to be changed (the n/a had a much weaker ring and pinion) The turbo also had a transmission cooler.
Yes, push down the 2 buttons on top of the seatback.
Yes there is a chance of valve damage when a timing belt fails. Being that the valves and pistons operate in the same cylinder at different times to preform their tasks. The timing belt keeps the valves and pistons in time so they do what they should when they are suppose to, when the belt fails, the pistons are still moving and the valves stop. The piston can then collide with the valve causing damage to the valve and also move the valve causing other valves to move, causing even more damage to other valves in the system as the other pistons continue to move. Need more help contact me through my board and I will try to help.
There isn't a turbo kit due to the high compression of the N/A engine. There is however a low pressure supercharger kit by Speed Force racing.
