Most common problems:

Oil leaks

The Porsche 944, particularly the 1987 model, is prone to oil leaks due to aging gaskets and seals. This can lead to oil dripping onto the exhaust system, which may cause burning oil smells and potential fire hazards.

Timing belt failure

The 944's engine relies on a timing belt, which can fail if not replaced at recommended intervals. A broken timing belt can cause severe engine damage, including bent valves and damaged pistons.

Cooling system issues

Over time, the cooling system components such as the radiator, water pump, and hoses can deteriorate, leading to coolant leaks and overheating problems.

Vacuum leaks

The 944's engine can develop vacuum leaks due to aging rubber hoses and connectors. This can cause irregular idling, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.

Sensor and electrical problems

The 1987 Porsche 944 may experience issues with sensors and electrical components, such as the mass airflow sensor, oxygen sensor, and various engine control unit (ECU) connections, leading to poor engine performance and diagnostic trouble codes.

Worn engine mounts

Engine mounts can wear out over time, leading to increased engine vibrations and noise. This can also affect the alignment of the drivetrain components.

Fuel system issues

The fuel injectors, fuel pump, and fuel lines can develop problems, leading to poor fuel delivery, engine misfires, and starting issues.
