Corrections, improvements, and additions to the archive — including factual fixes to the original content.

1. AdditionJul 5, 2026engine/eng-01, engine/eng-02 / part links

   Added car-aware catalogue links for three components named in the engine removal & installation procedures, each resolving to the reader's car via the part concept picker: the throttle (accelerator) cable (NA early 944 423 023 02 / NA late & 924S/S2 944 423 023 07, illustration 702-10 pos 2 — the 944 Turbo and 968 cables are not in these catalogue editions); the coolant expansion tank (NA 944 106 125 06 at 105-05 pos 6, Turbo higher-capacity 951 106 025 02 at 105-10 pos 20); and the heater valve (early cable-type 944 572 085 02, late vacuum disc-type 928 574 573 03). All variants verified present in each car's own catalogue edition. English 'heater control valve' (installation) and 'heater valve' both resolve.

2. AdditionJul 4, 2026engine/eng-01, engine/eng-02 / part links

   Linked the clutch slave (operating) cylinder in the engine removal and installation procedures to the catalogue: 944 116 237 00 (illustration 301-00, pos 17) — the same part across 924S/944/944 Turbo. Verified in the site catalogue and across specialist vendors. Note: the '477 721 261' number sometimes cited for this part is not the current slave-cylinder PN. Recorded for the parts-research notes: the OEM 944 A/C compressor is a Denso/Nippondenso unit, not Sanden (Sanden is an aftermarket retrofit).

3. CorrectionJul 4, 2026Norwegian content / terminology

   Standardised the Norwegian word for a hex/Allen fastener on 'umbrako' — the spelling already used across ~90 mentions. Fixed the three files that used the 'unbrako' variant (ignition/ign-01, ignition/ign-02, reference/engine-data-944-8v) so the term is consistent site-wide. English pages keep 'Allen key/bolt' as before.

4. AdditionJun 30, 2026Site-wide / part links

   Linked superseded part numbers cited in the text that the parts catalogue carries under a newer revision. Each old number now links to the current catalogue part it supersedes to (same component, online-verified): balance-shaft belt 944 102 219 02 → …04 (eng-04); cam timing chain 944 105 501 01 → …05 (cam-04); late oil pump 944 107 014 08 → …11, late engines only (lubrication-data-944); oil-pressure relief valve 944 107 035 01 → …02 (lube-02); short oil filter 944 107 201 90 → …08 (eng-17); intermediate shift lever 944 424 013 00 → …02 (trans-07); front crankshaft seal 999 113 331 50 → …40 (lube-08); turbo oil-supply O-ring 999 707 043 00 → …40 (eng-16). Held back deliberately: the 951 106 021 01 (old-style) vs …10 (new-style) Turbo water pumps are distinct, non-interchangeable parts and were not collapsed to the single catalogue entry.

5. AdditionJun 23, 2026electrical / fuse references

   Linked the fuse panels to the parts catalogue. Late 'Central Electric Panel' (1985.5+) → mounting plate 944 610 110 00 (KAT008 903-05). Early panels verified across ≥4 vendor sources + Pelican's catalogue titles: 'central electric board' / 'main fuse panel' → 477 941 813 (the combined fuse+relay carrier, Pelican title 'CENTRAL ELEC.BOARD'); 'auxiliary / additional fuse panel/box' → 477 937 511 ('9-Pole Fuse Holder'). Both early PNs NLA-new (used-only). Note: in KAT005 903-00 these sit at pos 10 ('Relay plate') and pos 11 ('Fuse holder') respectively — the catalogue's translated names read inverted relative to the panels' actual roles. The molded '944.610.220.00' on late carriers is a casting mark, not an orderable PN.

6. CorrectionJun 20, 2026faq/951-faq

   Restored dropped specifics in the 944 Turbo FAQ (source live-fetched; not in the original crawl). §2.2: turbo shutdown coolant siphon/return path + ceramic-liner higher-exhaust-temp/better-turbo-response rationale and reduced cooling-load benefit; §2.5: 944 21.5 mm solid & 23×3.5 mm tubular front stabilizers, 944 23.5 mm rear torsion bars, 951 24×3.7 mm tubular front option; §3.2: 180 mph vs 170 mph speedometer change; §3.3: Turbo S +30 hp / +15 ft-lb delta and 'engine essentially unchanged'; §3.4: 1989 same-cutout-as-Turbo-S and smaller-cutout alternate wheels; §4.2: plastic intake pipe, 'barn door' airflow sensor, rubber inlet plenum boot; §6.2.2: force-a-fault blink-code diagnostic step. Spec tables (gear ratios, offsets, brake areas, boost bar) were already faithful. en + nb.

7. CorrectionJun 20, 2026fuel/fuel-12

   Reverted the 944 (1985.5–1991) injector to its original Porsche application number 944 606 120 00 (a prior edit had changed it to 930 606 120 00 and footnoted the original as 'wrong'). Online catalogue check confirms Bosch 0 280 150 158 is listed under both numbers — 944 606 120 00 is the 944-specific application number, 930 606 120 00 the shared 911/924S one; the original was not wrong. Footnote corrected. en + nb.

8. CorrectionJun 20, 2026engine/951-eng-perfmod

   Restored the dropped 5th displacement combination (2.5L block bored/sleeved to 106 mm + 2.5L crank = 2.785L, with the original's long-term-reliability caution) and the coated-Mahle-piston size constraint (only 100 / 100.05 mm, so larger bores require sleeving). en + nb.

9. CorrectionJun 20, 2026ignition/ign-01

   Restored the dropped screwdriver blade spec (~16" length, .028 × 7/32" tip) in the tools note for sourcing a substitute; vendor model names omitted as non-timeless. en + nb.

10. CorrectionJun 20, 2026ignition/ign-02

    Restored the dropped tip about keeping a dedicated clearance-adjustment sensor (an old speed sensor with a washer permanently glued on); first-person neutralized. en + nb.

11. CorrectionJun 20, 2026cooling/cool-01/early-ac

    Thermofan-switch bench-test thermometer spec corrected from '100 °C / 212 °F' to '200 °F / 93 °C' per the original (a thermometer reading to at least 200 °F). en + nb.

12. CorrectionJun 20, 2026exhaust/exh-01

    Restored the COOL-02 cross-reference (a generic 'see cooling system procedures' → 'per COOL-02') for filling/venting the cooling system after the turbo crossover pipe is reinstalled. en + nb.

13. CorrectionJun 20, 2026exhaust/exh-02

    Added an editorial note that the original source's '7 psi (4.8 bar)' wastegate fully-open figure is a typo (7 psi ≈ 0.48 bar); the corrected 0.48 bar value is retained. Numbers unchanged. en + nb.

14. CorrectionJun 20, 2026brakes/brake-06

    Restored the specific rebuilt-unit warranty wording (at least one year, possibly two; two years if from Porsche) that had been genericized to 'a warranty'. en + nb.

15. CorrectionJun 20, 2026hvac/hvac-02

    Restored the original remedy for high compressor discharge pressure caused by insufficient condenser airflow — 'install a larger (higher-flow) fan' (the migration had weakened it to a diagnostic 'check fan operation'). en + nb.

16. CorrectionJun 20, 2026hvac/hvac-01

    Removed a dangling figure reference (the vacuum solenoid 'visible in the right-side photograph above', a regenCandidate photo not present); kept the fact that the solenoid is mounted on the right side of the HVAC unit. en + nb.

17. CorrectionJun 20, 2026clutch/clutch-01

    BLOCKER fix: the new release bearing installs on the PRESSURE PLATE (reuse the old snap ring, add spacer(s), insert into the pressure-plate opening — the unusual 944 design), not on the guide sleeve as the migration wrongly stated. Also restored the gutted Removal teardown (belly pan, battery, timing-window tape, speed/reference sensors, ground wires, starter heat shield + leads + 2 bolts, torque-tube removal w/ 180° rotation to clear the torsion-bar tube, release-lever pivot-shaft removal, 4 clutch-housing bolts, fuel filter, turbo wastegate) and Installation steps (toothed starter-ring transfer, 2 needle bearings in the release lever, clean friction surfaces, flywheel pin straight down, pivot-shaft/central-tube reinstall, wastegate, ground straps). Tools: 12 mm cheesehead qualifier restored. en + nb.

18. CorrectionJun 20, 2026steering/steer-01

    BLOCKER fix: restored the dropped rack-centering procedure — remove the view-port plastic plug on the underside of the gear housing, turn the steering shaft until the red dimple in the rack gear aligns with the port, then lock it with a 10×1×35 mm bolt ground to a tapered end (or a ball bearing); remove the centering bolt and refit the plug before reconnecting the tie rods. Also restored: belly-pan removal (7 bolts, 10 mm) + reinstall; fluid drain at the pump (19 mm, turn lock-to-lock to void the gear); transfer-parts list to the bare new rack (HP-line clamp + 10 mm bolt, rubber spacer, plastic compensating line w/ two L-fittings, L/R mounts) + assembly order; bleed verification (engine off-vs-running, >10 mm rise = air remains, rebleed); new bronze crush washers at line reconnects; self-locking tie-rod-nut replacement note; corrected the knuckle-separation caution to the original pickle-fork-damages-boot warning; full-rack PN 933-347-011-24 / tie-rod-end PN 944-347-033-23. en + nb.

19. CorrectionJun 20, 2026steering/steer-02

    Restored dropped facts from the original PS-pump procedure: reservoir flush sub-procedure (mineral spirits, then soapy water + hot-water rinse, dry); the caution that Bolt #8 must be very tight or PS fluid leaks; weight-on-wheels stress-test bleed (lower car, turn lock-to-lock, raise, re-inspect); splash-guard/inner-fender removal + refit; the non-turbo hose-PN caveat. Removed a dangling 'diagram above' reference (dropped figure = regenCandidate). en + nb.

20. CorrectionJun 20, 2026steering/steer-03

    Corrected a fabricated detail and restored dropped rebuild facts: the control-tower top is retained by a rubber boot + THREE 10 mm bolts (migration had invented a 'circlip or threaded collar'); locking collar screws off (not a 'roll pin'). Restored hard-line o-rings (2 per fitting, 8 total); all four seal groove-orientations (top-cap groove-in/flat-out, tower-bottom groove-up, shuttle groove-out/passenger side, bronze-sleeve groove-toward-control-tower/driver side); shuttle hardware (2 snap rings, washers, 2+2 o-rings); the nick-the-casing → buy-rebuilt warning; guide-ring removal order. Removed a dangling photo reference (regenCandidate). en + nb.

21. CorrectionJun 20, 2026clutch/clutch-04

    Restored dropped facts: clutch master-cylinder push-rod should have ~1/8 in (≈3 mm) free-play before it engages, set after bleeding; cover-panel removal detail (three nylon nuts via 10 mm socket — two left edge, one aft right) + 10 mm socket added to Tools; and the 'pressurize the bleeder to 10–15 psi and fix any leaks BEFORE adding fluid' sequence. en + nb.

22. CorrectionJun 20, 2026clutch/clutch-02

    Restored Method 3 to the original hybrid bleeding procedure (the migration had rewritten it as pure one-person vacuum): assistant holds the pedal down during the vacuum draw, the pedal is then slowly pulled off the floor by hand to draw fluid into the master cylinder, the draw is repeated, and the pedal is pumped a few times to check for sponginess. en + nb.

23. CorrectionJun 20, 2026timing/cam-04

    Restored the breakaway datum for the 16-valve cam-pulley bolt — expect roughly 75 ft-lbs to break it loose (the migration had weakened this to 'the bolt is tight'). en + nb.

24. CorrectionJun 20, 2026timing/cam-03

    Restored Porsche's spec to replace a hex-head collar bolt with the cheesehead type (which allows the higher torque value) at the collar-bolt step; existing 65–70 Nm / 45 Nm values unchanged. en + nb.

25. CorrectionJun 20, 2026cylinder-head/cyl-01

    Restored the alternate header-removal technique as a third note — the exhaust headers can come off without pulling the manifold studs if the center header (cylinders 2-3) is removed first, after which the outer header (1-4) clears. en + nb.

26. CorrectionJun 20, 2026troubleshooting/ts-02

    Restored two dropped sentences from the original cooling-system troubleshooting: the reminder to convert the cap pressure stamped in millibars to psi where needed, and the note that seeing coolant in the oil first usually means a sudden catastrophic head-gasket/seal failure right after shutdown. en + nb.

27. CorrectionJun 20, 2026suspension/susp-11

    Axle-nut intro restored the dropped loosening-difficulty argument: factory nut ~350 ft-lbs basis (18-inch bar ≈233 lbs force, 24-inch ≈175 lbs), rust can roughly double it to ~700 ft-lbs needing a bar up to 48 inches; shops loosen with a 3/4-inch impact and retighten with a 1/2-inch impact; use an impact socket (32/36 mm), not a standard socket. Install torque kept at 500 Nm (368 ft-lbs) at step 21. en + nb.

28. CorrectionJun 20, 2026suspension/susp-06

    Removed an on-page diagram promise the missing rear-suspension exploded view could not fulfil (reworded "refer to this diagram" → item numbers with each step naming its part; "diagram item" → "item"). Fixed two truncated calculations: the dangling torsion-bar range formula now states the principle (stiffer bar → proportionally smaller range; recompute and re-mark before indexing) without fabricating a formula, and the orphaned spline-movement headers now read as continuous prose leading to the existing ≈6.6 cm / ≈6 cm answers. en + nb.

29. CorrectionJun 20, 2026suspension/susp-15

    Restored the dropped "Ideal Setup" cornering-balance subsection (slight understeer on straight-line accel and at turn-in, neutral at apex, slight oversteer at turn-out) after the slip-angle discussion; added Koni Sport as preferred shock with Bilstein alternative in the additional notes. en + nb.

30. CorrectionJun 20, 2026suspension/susp-10

    Restored the rebuild-kit material distinction collapsed to "kits from multiple vendors": a nylon-bushing kit replaces bushings only (ball joints rarely damaged even with badly worn bushings) vs a bronze-bushing kit with chrome-moly ball joints for hard-driven cars. Restored aftermarket control-arm year-range fitment (billet-aluminum direct bolt-in for 1985.5–86 and 1987–95, adaptable to 1983–85; specify sway-bar type), keeping year ranges and dropping prices/vendor names. en + nb.

31. CorrectionJun 20, 2026suspension/susp-01

    Tools note restored that the 8 mm internal/cheesehead tool is made by Lisle, sold as a set of three (8/10/12 mm) for GM applications (all three also used on the 944), and that the Lisle version has a hex shank that must be inserted into a socket. en + nb.

32. CorrectionJun 20, 2026body/body-20

    Introduction restored the original DIY stone-guard-material option that had been collapsed: you can make your own guards from 3M Urethane Stone Guard material (Scotchcal) using the old ones as a pattern, needing material in at least 12-inch widths — 12-mil (PN84712, 20-yard rolls) or 6-mil (PN84812, 40-yard rolls), with 8-mil sheets available in smaller quantities. en + nb.

33. CorrectionJun 20, 2026body/body-12

    Door Handle Adjustment restored the diagnose-first step the page had skipped: before concluding the linkage is too short and must be lengthened, remove the handle, inspect the linkage and socket, and operate the handle off the vehicle to confirm it travels downward. en + nb.

34. CorrectionJun 20, 2026transmission/trans-05

    Torque-tube bearing count corrected: the rebuild page stated the tube contains two bearings; it contains four (FAG 6006 2Z). Restored the original positional install sequence (mark 1st–4th positions, 1st at front, install 2nd then 1st from the front and 3rd/4th from the back, anti-seize the bore) and the shock-load caution. en + nb.

35. CorrectionJun 20, 2026transmission/trans-03

    Installation step corrected: the drive-shaft clamping sleeve/collar (80 Nm) is refitted onto the drive-shaft splines through the bellhousing access opening, not onto the shift rod. Also restored the dropped fuel-filter-from-cross-member detail and the shift-linkage-rod disconnect wording. en + nb.

36. AdditionJun 20, 2026transmission/trans-06

    Restored the factory service interval that had been dropped: the manual transaxle fluid is specified to be changed every 60,000 miles. en + nb.

37. AdditionJun 20, 2026transmission/trans-07

    Restored the model-specific shifter-access and 968 detail that had been generalised away: the 968 console branch (remove the four M6 cheesehead bellows screws), the 968 shifter-bushing removal and wear check (bushings wear before the pin), and the install fastener specs (lever bolts M8 × 12; 968 bellows screws M6 × 16). en + nb.

38. ImprovementJun 20, 2026body/body-10

    Removed a dangling image promise: the mirror install prose referenced a wire-position 'diagram below' that is not inlined (the original wire data existed only in the missing mirror-plug image). Reworded to rely on marking the wires before removal plus a function check; the diagram remains flagged for regeneration. en + nb.

39. CorrectionJun 20, 2026reference/info-02

    Sealant part numbers written in full form so they resolve to the catalogue: Loctite 574 000 043 010 00 and Loctite 638 000 043 011 00 (the leading 000 group had been dropped). en + nb.

40. CorrectionJun 20, 2026Norwegian translation

    Bokmål fixes from adversarial review: susp-01 tools list 'Filler' → 'Kluter' (rags); susp-06 imperative 'spretten' → 'sprett' (×2); buying-guide diagnostic 'kjørende' (running) → 'som sitter fast' (sticking) for the idle-stabiliser and oil-pressure-relief valves (×2).

41. AdditionJun 20, 2026body

    Body section rebuilt next-gen with jump-to anchors and full Norwegian (Bokmål) translation across all 26 pages — the final category of the shop-manual rebuild.

The oil filter, spark plugs, timing belt and water pump link to their catalogue parts. Now fully available in Norwegian as well as English.

47. AdditionJun 20, 2026faq/944-faq

    944 FAQ pointer page translated to Norwegian; the dead external-link note and the cross-link to the preserved 944 Turbo (951) FAQ are kept. Now available in Norwegian as well as English.

(The two named relays — late-model “Relay X” and the turn-signal flasher relay — were left unlinked because their exact part numbers could not be verified against the catalogue.)

176. AdditionJun 19, 2026troubleshooting/ts-03

     Fuel-system troubleshooting page rebuilt next-gen: a symptom picker jumps you to excessive consumption or a fuel smell, and the fuel-smell causes are now anchor-linkable sections. Every named fuel-tank, filler, and evaporative part — the sender sealing ring, charcoal canister, shut-off and ventilation valves, fuel-cap gasket, and filler-neck sleeve — links to the factory parts diagram with the exact part highlighted (each number verified against both the original and the factory catalogue). Now fully available in Norwegian as well as English.

177. AdditionJun 18, 2026fuel/fuel-16

     Added the “Troubleshooting Fuel Supply Problems” (FUEL-16) page — recovered from the original site and converted faithfully (relay-bypass terminals, speed/reference sensor resistance checks, DME diagnosis). The engine troubleshooting guide's many references to it now resolve.

178. ImprovementJun 18, 2026troubleshooting/ts-01

     Part names in the manual now open the parts diagram with the exact part highlighted (previously some opened the diagram with nothing selected). Added missing part links — fuel rail, distributor rotor, distributor main lead, spark plugs and wires, fuel/oil filters, oil-pressure sender, and the injector ballast resistor — and the speed sensor and reference sensor now both link to their shared part. Product pages now also show the names each part is called in the manuals (e.g. a temperature-sensor page lists “DME temperature sensor”).

179. AdditionJun 18, 2026troubleshooting/ts-01

     Engine troubleshooting page rebuilt next-gen: a symptom picker lets you jump straight to your symptom, and three reference notes were added from verified research — an injector-impedance safety warning, the DME coolant-temp sensor resistance values, and the fuel-pressure hold-off (leakdown) specs. Now fully available in Norwegian as well as English.

180. CorrectionJun 18, 2026troubleshooting/ts-01

     Fixed a link error where the procedure reference “DME-05” had its “DME” wrongly turned into a parts-catalogue link; procedure cross-references now stay plain text. Part names in the manual now also link to the parts diagrams on the Norwegian page, not just the English one.

181. AdditionJun 18, 2026cooling/cool-01

     Added language-agnostic diagrams to replace the original site's missing graphics: the three cooling-fan circuit schematics (early no-A/C, early with A/C, late dual-fan) and the thermofan-switch connector terminal diagram the relay test refers to. Drawn as vector schematics with letter callouts explained in the (translatable) caption; the original photo of the connector is superseded by the labelled connector diagram.

182. ImprovementJun 18, 2026Site-wide

     Article section links now use stable, language-independent anchors, so the troubleshooter's “read this section →” links and in-text cross-references land correctly on the Norwegian pages as well as the English ones (they previously broke on /nb).

183. ImprovementJun 18, 2026cooling/cool-01/late

     Flagged the late dual-element thermofan-switch bench test as an editorial extrapolation: the original documented a bench test only for the early single-element switch, so a note now makes clear the 92/102 °C setpoints come from the factory description while the two-stage method is applied by analogy.

184. AdditionJun 18, 2026cooling/cool-01

     Restored the source's note that each troubleshooting guide assumes a single failure at a time (covering every combination of simultaneous failures is impractical), and re-added the “a successful test confirms…” summary after each general circuit test on the early no-A/C page.

185. CorrectionJun 18, 2026cooling/cool-01

     Removed a dated price reference (“$150 USD” for a new relay) from the relay-repair note, keeping the timeless repair advice. Modernised the thermometer spec in the switch test from the source's “at least 200 °F” to a rating above the actual setpoints: 100 °C / 212 °F for early cars and 110 °C / 230 °F for the late dual-element switch (which tests up to 102 °C).

186. CorrectionJun 18, 2026cooling/cool-01

     Early-944 cooling-fan relay clarified through research: the factory part is 944 615 113 (superseded 01→02→03), a multi-purpose relay that also serves the A/C circuit — on A/C cars a second identical unit sits in the passenger footwell, so persistent fan faults there mean checking the footwell relay too. The generic 141 951 253 B is only a substitute, and 944 615 104 is a later-car part; neither is linked for early cars. Sources: 944online, Pelican forums, Sunset Porsche Parts.

187. AdditionJun 16, 2026Parts catalogue

     The Porsche parts catalogue is now part of the site — browse the 944 family by model and open exploded diagrams. Part names in the manual are clickable and open the diagram with that part highlighted, with a link back to the troubleshooter.

188. AdditionJun 16, 2026Parts catalogue

     Every part now has a detail page: copyable part number, what it is, the diagrams it appears in, the names it is known by, and the cars it fits (e.g. “1984 Porsche 944”) so it is findable by how people actually search.

189. CorrectionJun 16, 2026cooling

     Cooling-fan pages now refer to car generations consistently as “early cars” / “late cars” (was a mix of “Pre-1985.5 944s”, “1985.5-and-later”, etc.) — in the summaries and body, English and Norwegian.

190. AdditionJun 16, 2026Parts catalogue

     Each part now has a canonical detail page listing its synonyms and every diagram it appears in (with the part highlighted) — e.g. the temperature switch (823 959 481 F). Started with the cooling-fan parts.

191. ImprovementJun 16, 2026cooling/cool-01/early

     Parts diagrams now render inline directly on the page (the catalogue illustration with the relevant part highlighted), with links to the part’s detail page — no embedded frame, and no “.html” in any catalogue link.

192. ImprovementJun 16, 2026cooling/cool-01/early

     Redrew the solder-crack illustration to be language-agnostic — numbered callouts (1 = hairline crack, 2 = good joint) replace the baked-in English labels, so the same image now serves the Norwegian page too. The legend lives in the translatable caption.

193. AdditionJun 16, 2026cooling

     Troubleshooter outcomes now link to the Porsche parts catalogue — e.g. the thermofan switch opens illustration 910-00 with the “Temperature switch” (823 959 481 F) highlighted. Part identity verified against catalogue data and online sources.

194. AdditionJun 16, 2026Site-wide

     Added a metric/imperial units toggle. Temperatures switch between °C and °F from one canonical value (defaulting to your language), replacing the inconsistent mixed notation.

195. AdditionJun 16, 2026cooling

     New interactive cooling-fan troubleshooter: pick your symptom, answer yes/no, and the path to the likely cause lights up — with a step-by-step mode on mobile. Available in English and Norwegian.

196. ImprovementJun 16, 2026cooling

     Split the cooling-fan guide into dedicated per-model pages (late cars, early with A/C, early without A/C) with a hub, and reorganized the troubleshooting tables into linkable cause sections for clearer reading and search.

197. AdditionJun 16, 2026cooling

     Norwegian (Bokmål) translation of the cooling-fan pages.

198. CorrectionJun 16, 2026cooling/cool-01

     Fixed an incorrect temperature conversion in the thermofan-switch test tools: “100 °C / 200 °F” → “100 °C / 212 °F” (100 °C is 212 °F).

199. AdditionJun 16, 2026cooling/cool-01

     Added a standardized troubleshooting infographic — a two-lane cooling-fan diagnostic flow (won’t run / runs continuously) for late cars.
