Does this fit the bellcrank end of the pushrod that actuates the throttle body? I seem to remember something about that one not being cut for the retaining clip.

Not all of the ball cups have the hole through the neck to accept the retainer.

The cable from the linkage to the throttle body usually does not. At either end.

It does seem to vary year-to year with later years having fewer clips.

anybody know if either of these are genuine 928 versions ?
and Happy Holidays to all

After sitting for some time my 928 had ABS issues. Would trigger the ABS pump while not moving.

I just pulled the ABS relay. When I cleaned the wheel speed sensors I found the male/sensor side plugs had deteriorated. The harness/female side seemed okay.

Is there a solution for this or do I just order new wheel speed sensors?




I'm ordering all the stuff I need to rebuild the AC system, need new main fan bearing, and while I have the dash out to inspect vacuum AC controls I plan on recovering it.

This car costs me $3000 minimum every time I touch it, it seems.

These are available which simulate (to a degree) the round connectors if originality is not important to you:

does this hand brake lever cover look like a factory leather version, or an aftermarket one ?
cheers
Phil

Air filter straps. Alternative source? Mine are starting to look crispy.

I went to order some this morning and got sticker shock $450.

Not that I know of.

small trim piece under the dash pod, the standard black one just has the part number, the blue one also has PP02 on it.
i guess thats an original colour code, anybody know what name of blue it is ?
cheers
Phil

Color code and color name will be in PET.

thanks Dave, i had a look on PET and it could be marine blue or cobolt blue, but looking online my guess is marine blue as google AI says marine blue is a deep dark blue shade.
cheers

Interior cobalt blue is pretty bright.

Yes, it's a Kempf tool.

thanks Dave

anybody know what bulb fits in a 92863211101 ?

cheers

OTTOMH, without trudging to the shop to look, I think it's the same as the bulb for the interior lights. Easy to check.

PET says 99963101890 Bulb M 12V, 3W.

Not so?

Not so. '91+ is different from -90. And it is as I wrote: same as interior lights.

Oh... and Phil? Are you hungover dude? That was not Advanced PET Sluthing

thanks Dave
i just saw it on the PET listing pictured, i have never actually seen one before, i did see that on the interior light page but did not check what its part number was as it looked nothing like its pictured below

Ah. Yes, I can see how, on the one or two days a year the Sun comes out over there, that the effect might be stunning

I've noticed a new transmission leak, it's on the passenger side near the reservoir. It doesn't look like the pan gasket as it's wet above it as well.

Transmission last serviced in ~2021, last work done was changing the vacuum modulator ~6 months ago. That side is clean.

It wasn't leaking, drove the car a couple thousand miles, now it's leaking. I'd like to get it addressed before I take it off the lift bars tomorrow. Anything common?

Cap loose?

Is the cap's seal missing? Or wounded?

I loosened the cap and fluid started flowing out, tightened it back.

90% sure it's the cap now.

That's a project for next time around.

It's supposed to do that. When the automatic isn't turning (pump's not pumping) the fluid level is above the reservoir. Thus the cap must be tight and its seal must be in one good piece or fluid will leak when the 928 is stopped. Or when you loosen the cap.

my basic PET lists these 2 HAVAC control units as for Canada market only
anybody know what the difference it makes in Canada ?
cheers
Phil

I can conceive of no politically correct answer.

Roger just told me its that Canada use centigrade and not the old fashioned fahrenheit......

anybody fitted an early version bottom pulley 92810213911 onto a GTS which should have the 92810213912 pulley ?
is there that much difference in alternator pulley size that you would need to fit the smaller belt ?
cheers
Phil

I have not and have no idea.

IIRC the larger pulley's purpose is to spin the alternator faster on auto-box 928s. But, the data in the parts pages augurs poorly.

he said £250, i said £300 and he bought it for £300.
an amazing rats nest of wire going on on these old fuse panels, i showed it to an apprentice mechanic at work today, did not want to know how to use a multimeter to test it all, just took a picture on his phone to send to his mates...
