When did the turbo's oil pan gasket go? Fly me out there and I'll help...donno if you'd wanna do that with my luck with my own...

1. Leaks coolant.
2. Leaks a bit of oil, maybe the front cam shaft seal not sure ?
3. Not fast enough in a straight line.
4. Rust here and there, thats mainly cosmetic but would work out quite expensive to put right.
5. Still not fast enough in a straight line.
6. The dash reflects on the windshield/screen when the sun is in just the wrong position.
7. Could be faster !
Sorry was it supposed to be three things wrong ? Damn ! Did I mention its not quite fast enough ?

Paint needs redoing, that is all. Everything else is currently perfect. Except maybe for the slow power steering fluid leak I just noticed.
I can't think of a better jinx.

1. Rough cold idle
2. No a/c, need a recharge/conversion
3. New oil leak
4. random little things in cabin i.e. torn shift boot, steering wheel faded and lost lacing.

It's not that bad, just weeping like it always has. Just pisses me off. It shouldn't leak - period. I have having a gooey underside so the oil pan gasket will be replaced soon - probably in two weeks (part is at the dealership and paid for, I just need to go get it).

1) It's cold in the garage at times (and when it isn't cold it's too hot).
2) Sometimes when I mow the yard the grass gets on the garage floor.
3) Spiders build webs off my Turbo side skirts.
Hey, what do you expect from a garage queen...
Actually,
1) The AC needs recharging.
2) Hatch is/has delaminated.
3) OD gear needs replacing.

1. New front pads (and possibly rotors)
2. New tires
3. New wheels or spacers for current wheels
4. Tranny oil needs changing BADLY (plug is rounding out!)
I noticed a couple of you said your E-brake isn't holding. I fixed this problem on my 83 944, it's a pretty simple fix, assuming your e-brake isn't simply screwed.
Jack up the rear of the car and pull the rear wheels off. In the wheel hub there is a little hole on the top, and inside is a little "spider" gear. Take a flat head screwdriver and spin the gear until it's tight, then back it off. Repeat on the other side, and make sure they are about the same tightness. Now try the e-brake, it should hold great!
Easy job done in under an hour.

1: alternator bit the dust
2: Very slow ps leak
3: Needs a repaint
Been a daily driver for two years with no problems until number 1 happened and left me sidelined last week.
