I installed a blinker fluid catch can to deal with the excess blinker foaming and vapors.
Can i use a translucent blinker fluid to make my foglights turn into driving lights as opposed to opaque.

I sold my "S" without having ever changed the blinker fluid. I hope the poor sucker doesnt mind 200K old blinker fluid. What an idiot I took him for everything he had! As DJ Khaled would say "We the best man!"

I would use the synthetic one it works with all cars. If you are going to change it make sure you change the headlight fluid as well. Okay. Head light fluid is supposed to be changed every 15 to 20 years.

Can I put my blinker fluid on with a roller? I know the established method is with a funnel, and that seems to work just perfect. But I like to be difficult, and cheap............er...............I mean frugal.........I mean....................inventive. 
Yeah..............that's it.

hmm.. I don't find my blinker reservoir, is it possible that my car is the rare manual blinker version, or did the former owner replaced the reservoir with (now empty) cocacola bottle that sits under the seat?! if that is the case, it probably explains why my blinkers blink like its christmas again..
by the way, does anybody have any used piston control cable for sale? I could use one..

I never knew that Blinker Fluid could be such a problem. I've been running all these years without ever checking mine.
By the way, has anyone had muffler bearing failures. I've had to replace mine twice in 18 months. I can't figure it out.

Hawk, beware of cheap knock-off muffler bearings. You can buy replacements from the OEM, Timken, directly. Do a search for the part number. They are 1/3 the cost of the Porsche part. Oh, another caution, don't buy SKF, those are ball bearings and not muffler bearings.

I was wondering where the fill holes were on a 944.
Dont let the guy that bought my other 944s know that i accidently drained the blinker fluid when i drilled small holes in the taillights.
