This is a XP from the 944 Tech forum but I'm wondering if others here have had the same issue.

I did a search but couldn't find anything. In progress of replacing the Master cylinder I noticed a crack in the firewall (wavy line underneath the hole for MC is the crack - first two are from engine bay side and 2nd 2 pics are from interior side under the dash). It looks like someone tried JB Weld at one point and I pounded the firewall to make if flush. Has anyone had this problem...looks like fatigue stress. How did they get it fixed? I'm wondering if I should have a proper shop reinforce the area and do a better weld job than I can do with my flux welder.






Also on a side note...what is this apparatus in the very middle of the picture. It connects to the intake manifold and the wires run into the engine wiring harness. I have no idea what it is. The car is a very early 1983 (1982 mfg date) US 944.

Here's a thread on the subject on how some of us have temporarily fixed it.

Thanks everyone. Now I'll just see what works best. Seems there's a couple methods people have done.

common on 968's as well.
