Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Boxer engines, like the one in the 1984 Porsche 944, are prone to oil leaks due to the horizontally opposed cylinder configuration which can stress gaskets and seals.

Cooling system issues

The unique engine layout can cause uneven cooling, leading to potential overheating issues if the cooling system is not properly maintained.

Timing belt failure

The 1984 Porsche 944 has a timing belt that is prone to wear and requires regular maintenance to prevent catastrophic engine damage.

Valve cover gasket leaks

The valve cover gaskets can degrade over time, especially in older models, leading to oil leaks.

Head gasket failure

Boxer engines can be susceptible to head gasket failures, which can cause coolant leaks and engine overheating.

Spark plug fouling

Due to the engine design, oil can sometimes seep into the spark plug wells, causing fouling and misfires.

Exhaust leaks

The exhaust system in a boxer engine can develop leaks over time, particularly at the manifold and joints due to thermal expansion and contraction.

Fuel injector problems

Older Porsche 944 models can suffer from clogged or leaking fuel injectors, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
