In this video, I start my winter jobs. The first job is to replace my timing belt and V-belt (fan belt) which is an easy job or is it?
As always thanks for watching and for the support.

Great Video!
I am doing the timing belt myself at the moment for the first time ever and your video has helped me a lot so far. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the comment platin, great to hear the vids have been useful. Hope all is going well with your 924 👍
I want to change the timing belt, v-belt and water pump on my 924 as well.
I was looking for a video like this one.
So your video helped me a lot! :)
Thanks for the comment Timo. Glad it's useful for you. The water pump should be a nice easy swap out with a few nuts and a gasket. Hope all goes well 👍
Thanks for the top tip about removing the water pump pulley to slacken and remove the auxiliary belt rather than trying to access and adjust the alternator bolts 👌
Thanks Simon for the comment and support. Glad it helped you out and I hope your 924 is going well 🤞👍
Greetings from Texas! Just found your content. I'm embarking on getting a 924 with a broken timing belt and a few other things to be done. My dad use to work on and own 911's and had a 77 924 when I was growing up. Good content to definitely learn on. Kind walking in my dads footsteps. Looking forward to more of your vids!
Thanks for the comment Nara, and great to hear that you are starting your journey on a 924. Best of luck and more vids to come soon. 👍
Really appreciate all your videos as I embark on my 77 Martini restoration.
Thanks for the comment and support Phil. Great to hear another 924 is on it's way to being saved 🤞. You have a great car in the Martini edition. Let me know how you get on. More vids coming soon 👍🚙💨
In case nobody else made this comment: Had that been a turbo (931) or a 924S, this outcome would have been catastrophic, because unlike the early NA 924 models, they DO have intereference engines. The proper tensioning tool is highly recommended for the 924S. For the 931, it's really a good idea to have a very experienced mechanic check the tension before you gamble and start it. It is a good idea to refer to a proper service manual and double check not only that the timing marks are aligned but that you are not out of phase. As I recall you want to be on the compression stroke as well as having both marks aligned (Somebody with a manual can provide details since I haven't done this since about 1995). Even then, it's a crap shoot and many 931s ate their own innards because of bad luck and or bad planning when changing a timing belt. One other question since I have never used the special tensioning tool, is it the case that the holes in that new timing belt idler are designed to work with the tensioner used on the 924S/944 or some other model?
Thanks for the comment Kenneth and great points made. Very important that you know the engine you are tackling with any such work 👍
@@Witty924 forgot to mention it makes me smile to see people keeping these 924/944 models on the road. Learned a lot and made good long term friends all over the world while trying to keep my 1981 931 on the road. Obviously it's only charming people who continue to fix and maintain them! 😁
@@kennethstanton5407definitely fun and frustrating keeping them going but totally agree some great people out there doing some great work on these 👍
Great video, just about to change mine as it was due - this video really helps with the checking the basics again before cracking on.
Thanks for the comment Jon and support. Hope the job goes well 👍
@@Witty924 all done - and way overdue as the belt was stamped 2007 😳 Thanks again for the great video, next up… my WUR.
@@joncorry fantastic to hearbit all went well Jon, best of luck on the WUR, with a bit of luck it just needs a clean out, they get upset if they get dirty 🤞👍
First time viewer on this channel. I would have preferred if the actual technical manipulations weren’t fast forwarded.
Other thing: I would have done the camshaft seal as well as the water pump.
Still nice video. Cheers from Belgium
Thanks for the comment and support and hope all is good in Belgium. Good points you raise. I did the water pump a while back before I started doing videos so that's all good. Also the camshaft seal is also recent again something done before videos. Both easy jobs and well worth doing as you say when doing the timing belt. 👍
Very informative and helpful. Why did you rnot replace the water pump when doing the belt also is it advisable to replace the bolt holding the tension pulley when repacing the belt. Keep up the good work.
Hi Seamus thanks for the comment and support. You are spot on and changing the water pump is a good tip with timing belt changes. I'm luck as indid the water pump a while back sperately before I started viewing the work on my 924. That said the 924 2.0l engine is great to work on, lots of space and the water pump has great access so highly recommend as you say. The bolt that fixes the pulley comes as a part of the timing belt kit so you can change that and the holding threaded piece I changed. To be honest you can reuse a bolt if it good condition with some loctite or opt for a nylon bolt which also works well. Hope that helps 👍
The joys of classic car ownership.
I've just replaced my front shocks and control arms. And rebuilt the calipers with new seals and brake hoses. The cap holding the shocks in was rusted solid it took a lot of heat and big vice and monkey wrench to remove it.
Nice work DG. It will transform the handling. Fun and frustration all the way working on the old porsches 👍
@@Witty924 yes definitely, hopefully I will have mine MOT worthy by the spring.
@@dg115 2021 porsche meet ups hopefully 🤞
@@Witty924 hopefully but I doubt it.
We call that "double ended thread bolt" a stud in the states
Hey Jordon thanks for the comment and yes we call it a stud too, on the day the word escaped me haha, thanks for watching 👍
Small jobs always turn into bigger jobs on these old cars. Nice work! What is that knob you turn before you start your car, near the strut?
Thanks RA for the comment and support. Fun and frustration in the same package with this little classic 😅. So mine has a master kill switch or insulator switch fitted. Useful when working on the car so much. Also when I have done sprints or hill climbs in the car, it's a nice to have, I did think about re-wiring it into the interior but still in 2 minds 🤔
@@Witty924 got it, thanks!
Changing mine now, I will be uploading a video. Hopefully I don’t have the same issue with the tensioner bolt. As this is an emergency repair on mine I will order another kit and do it at a later date renew water pump too 👍🏼
Best of luck Alex, look forward to watching the vid 🤞👍🚙💨
Is the next episode what really really happened? i saw some plot holes! don't tension pulleys with screw drivers. they are cam operated and pivot round. I'm glad you used the correct tool 2nd time round!
older regular aspirated straight foward on.the turbos..belt is direactional..
where did you find the protective plate for under the engine?
Hi indy, thanks for the comment and support. So that is the front undertray that they all left the factory with. Over the years I'm sure many 924 and 944s lost them. Check on eBay to see if you can get one. 👍🤞
Hey pal, listen , did you ever opened your 924 thermostatic valve casing ? I’ve opened mine one today, and found no thermostat in there … wondering if someone took it out or it’s has to be without
HinSegi, thanks for the comment and support. You should definitely have a thermostat in there. They are cheap to buy. 👍🤞
Aye, thanks . I’ve installed it today. I was just surprised to see it’s empty casing .
How’s your 924 doing now?
@@sergiy8889 great to hear all went wel, you just never know what has been done to these cars over 40 or so years, nice to keep them going! Mine is going great thanks for asking, going for a drive tomorrow, might do a sneaky vid too. 👍🤞🚙💨
Hi Witty, i wish you a happy and healthy 2021. Informative video, but the head camera movement bothers me, because the jerky and fast movement of the camera does not create meaningful images. You can't really see what's going on.
Thanks for the comment Hubert and the support. Totally get your point, I speeded up the video as not to make the video to long and bore you with undoing a bolts one by one ;) 👍
What size was that heli coil you installed?
Hi Alan thanks for the comment, I will check the size and post it here tomorrow for you 👍
How dit you mount the V_belt? Gr
Hi Tom, thanks for the comment. So usually you just losen of the alternator however you can just take the water pump pulley off and then for it back and put the vbelt on the edge of the pulley and wind the engine by hand at the crank bolt and it winds the vbelt back on at the same tension. I do this because it saves jacking the car up to remove the under tray to get to the alternator bolt. Hope that helps 👍
What is the orange tube for?
Hi Arvod thanks for the comment. It's the cold air cooling tube for the alternator.👍
@@Witty924 hmm, i own a 1981 924 2.0 and i don’t have one. Does it depend on what model it is or should i get one aswell?
@@arvod2060 I think like many over the years have lost parts that people have taken off and not replaced. This is a common part that gets lost, as does the wiper motor cover by the battery or the spark plug heat cover that is attached to the exhaust manifold. Its worth getting to help your alternator last longer. Your alternator should have a cowling on the back of it that the tube attaches too. The ducting looks like this wooliesworkshop.com/products/porsche-924-944-alternator-cooling-duct-pipe-hose?variant=20229905121353¤cy=GBP&gclid=CjwKCAjwmJeYBhAwEiwAXlg0AVXujHxCtHYKdiTio-jNCjewnDqnYlMbc3WF4txDi6Xxipi9KAvonBoCwSMQAvD_BwE
@@Witty924 Thanks for the help! I will look into it. :)
@@arvod2060 no problem, let me know how you get on 👍
Verry fast information not step by step you get Dizzy
Hey Don, the parts of the video that are music are simply me removing bolts and screws (boring bits) but I hope the talking bits help and align what is needed to change the timing belt. Happy to discuss more if you need too 🤞👍
@@Witty924 i will do the same to mu Bieber Cabriolet snd need close information
