Default very nooby question..

Does anyone have a link or a picture of a 944 engine bay and transmission bay with diagrams and labels? I just got my car a little over a week ago and I have little to no idea what fluids are supposed to go where. Also, does the radiator fluid the big box in the bottom right corner?

You only have the trans-axle fluid. In the rear, fill and drain plug 17mm I believe. Cooling you need to drain the radiator, bottom driver side. Its a blue plastic bleed screw normally, careful with it. and you have a drain on the side of the block, passenger side under manifold

I bet Clark's Garage has owner's manuals. That would be a good place to start.

I've looked at clarks and there are diagrams for how things work but not a simple diagram of the engine bay with labels

Looking for something like this? I'm not sure if your car is an early or late style 944. Mine is a later one, but the engine bay should be roughly the same on the early versions.



Transmission labels (sorry, I don't have a full picture of the transmission to label everything. I'll try to get one)

Remember to undo the transmission fill plug before the drain plug: if the fill plug is seized but the drain plug isn't, you'll be stuck!

Here's a labeled shot of my transmission that I said I'd get. This is a later style transmission. The early style doesn't have a speed sensor on the transmission.

None of these photos show the turboencabulator. How is he supposed to work on his car without that?

yes, but its pretty obvious to see when you look between the washer fluid tank and the power steering reservoir. I had my turboencabulator upgraded to the S2 Hyperturboencabulator model.
