Engine Q&A 1984 Porsche 944

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my 944? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is just your 944 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Porsche 944 making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Porsche 944 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Porsche engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Porsche 944 engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving the engine while still in Park, or accelerating too quickly, too soon. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I use water in my Porsche 944 radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your 944 radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What can cause a 944 engine to suddenly stop? If your 944 car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
