I’ve been doing reading for the past couple of days on the net. I’ve also bought the Haynes’s manual. My car has been sitting at the shop for the past 2-3 weeks, so I have not been able to test/look at anything. I’m just basing my knowledge on what they told me and asking questions accordingly. I haven’t replaced anything yet. Just trying to get opinions from people who know more than me. I was looking at hoses on pelicanparts.com. The rack rebuild kit on ebay is the same cost ($70) as renbay and same pictute. I just assumed it was from the same guy. How do I check the wiper issue? 2 mechanics have told me that the wiper motor must be replaced to fix. Is there another way? I mean "apparently", the check oil light wire is snagged, because that is what the shop told me, but I dont know whether it is true or not. I don’t know what the oil press send is or what it has to do with anything we are talking about. thanks for the help so far though -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Porsche-944-Help-Power-Steering-Fuel-Gage-Sunroof-ftopict112791.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

William, How long ago did you reseal your rack? I am asking because I had a mechanic worn me against resealing a rack if you don’t have the proper machinery. They need to be sealed with a machine in order to make the seals tight enough to keep it from leaking. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Porsche-944-Help-Power-Steering-Fuel-Gage-Sunroof-ftopict112791.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

	ok, some advise and answers: 1. download the real porsche manual from the web, you will need it - the haynes manual is not all that useful, nor is it always accurate. 2. the oil pressure sender also contains the switch that drives the indicator light - hence my suggestion that you check it. It is located on the pass side of the engine above the oil/water cooler. 3. the wiper motor apparently runs, or you would not have said that it doesn't stop in the right place. Stopping is controlled by a cam and a switch. A separate wire feeds power to the switch so that the motor keeps running until the wipers are in the right place and then the switch opens and the motor stops. If the wipers just stop when you move the wiper switch to off, then it is quite possible that this wire is disconnected. The switch may also be jammed, dirty, or damaged - easy to check. 4. the renbay guy does sell on ebay - I suggested going to him directly because I dealt with him and talked to him on the phone when I had problems - you want to get it from him, not someone else because he is known to be helpful.

I made a mistake reassembling my rack (I put the shuttle seal in backwards) and so it leaked - there was nothing needing special tooling to assemble. But, as I noted, removing the seal at the base of the worm is a real )()()(*, so I'd suggest buying a special tool, or having a machine shop pull that one seal - if I ever do another rack, I'll either make or buy a tool for that purpose - the risk of damaging the aluminum housing is just too great. I could have fixed my rack by just reversing the incorrectly installed seal, but I was out of time, so I just changed the whole thing.

On the other hand, a $30 alignment check by a reputable place can save you $$$ on tires.
