WORKSHOP MANUAL 944






This Workshop Manual describes all of the important operations for which special instructions are required to assure proper completion. This manual is essential for shop foremen and mechanics, who need this information to keep the vehicles in safe operating condition. The basic safety rules, of course, also apply to repairs on vehicles without exception.



Only those repair jobs deviating from those of vehicle type 924 are described in the 944 Workshop Manual. Refer to the 924 Workshop Manual for all other information.



The information is grouped according to repair numbers which are identical to the first two digits of the warranty job codes.



The repair group index, list of contents and the register tabte are quick guides to find information in the manual. The layout drawings in this manual are numbered in the order of disassembling and, if necessary, also have information on assembly or installation and application of special tools.



Descriptions of design and function can be found in the service training course reference material.



This Workshop Manual will be kept up to date with Technical Information Bulletins, which will be made part of the manual from time to time. We recommend that these bulletins be filed in the standard type folder provided for this purpose.

CHECKING HYDRAULIC ENGINE BELTS


G e n e r a l   I n f o r m a t i o n

Hydraulic engine mounts cannot be tested 100% with conventional workshop equipment. However, the test procedures listed below can be used to determine whether hydraulic engine mounts are defective or seriously impaired in effectiveness.
Of the two hydraulic engine mounts, the one on the right is subjected to greater thermal loading and thus more likely to give cause for complaint.



C h e c k i n g

Symptoms indicating a damaged engine mount:

-   Clearly-discernible knocking or vibration while starting and/or turning off the engine.

- severe engine vibration in idle (with engine in perfect condition and balance shafts adjusted correctly).

- no or insufficient spring travel when pulling down on engine. Specification: 2 - 3 mm. (Do not check left and right hydraulic engine mounts together. Use exhaust pipes for leverage).

- Visual inspection shows leaks (mounts are filled with a damping fluid), rubber peeling off, cracks, or notching.

- Height of removed and de-tensioned hydraulic engine mount is less than 65 mm (new 70 +- l mm) measured between bearing surfaces.

(Height af installed hydraulic engine mount not less than 62-2 mm).

Vehicle type 924 S - 944 - 944 S - 944 S2 - 944 turbo

Note


The old hydraulic engine mount that was fitted
using 4 mm spacers has been discontinued
and is therefore no longer available.

Modifications of the new hydraulic engine
mounts:

- Changed design

-    Installation height of the engine mounts
was increased by 4 mm, rendering the
4 mm spacers obsolete.

- The hydraulic engine mount is fitted to the
engine support using 2 bolts.
Old hydraulic engine mount:
2 bolts with washers and nuts.





725/10
     
1. The new hydraulic engine mount may be ret-
rofitted to all vehicles as of Model Year '82.
Combined use of new and old hydraulic
engine mounts is permissible.

2.  Use only M 8x38 or M 8x42 bolts without
washers. Pay attention to flange dimension
X of left-hand engine support.
X = 21 + 1 mm: Bolt M 8 x 38
X = 25 + 1 mm: Bolt M 8 x 42
For the right-hand engine mount, use only
the M 8 x 38 bolt without washer.
Tightening torque 23 Nm (17 ftlb)



726/10

Stocks of the old engine mount may be used
up. In this case, also note engine support
flange dimension X.

X = 21 + 1 mm: Hydraulic engine mount
with spacers

X = 25 + 1 mm:  Hydraulic engine mount
without spacers

CALlBRATING SPECIAL TOOL 9201


TOOL



      



The testing gage is designed for a display
of 4.0 scale units and permits the check-
ing and calibrating of Special Tool 9201
to 4.0 scale units.

The tool must be calibrated after:

- about 100 measurements,

- hard jolts or knocks

- slight damage.

Calibration will not be sufficient in case
of greater damage or display deviation of
more than 2.0 scale units. These special
tools can be sent to the supplier for
repairing.

      CALlBRATING

Tools Required:

Small screwdriver 1.6 x 40 x 0.4 mm
Gage 9201/2

1. Adjust to zero point by turning the
dial gage's scale ring until the needle
and zero point are aligned.

2.  Insert gage 9201/2, checking for
centered position of both test bearing
surfaces on the sliding shoes.




        


3.  Proceed to same procedures for use
on toothed belt, i.e. press in testing
point slowly until the lock pin is felt
to engage and then read the displayed
value from the dial gage.

N o t e

Sliding shoes of older manufacture
might be bored offcenter. Depending on
the position of the sliding shoes there
could be different displayed values when
checking with this tool.

9 4 4 E n g i n e / C r a n k c a s e,   P i s t o n s 13



Consequently the measurement with a gage
should be repeated with different sliding
shoe positions. Find the position, where the
scale value is closest to the 4.0 adjusting
value. Mark sliding shoe (e.g. with paint or
an electric inscriber) and perform the calibra-
tion as well as all measurements later at this
position.


4.  If the display is outside of the test value
of 4.0 +- 0.3 scale values, readjust the
gage dial. This is done by turning the
calibration screw with a small screwdriver
until the specified value of 4.0 scale units

CHECKING CRANKSHAFT BEARING CLEARANCE

The "Plastigage" method is a simple way of
checking bearing clearance.

Plastigage is available in three different sizes for
measuring ranges from 0.025 to 0.23 mm.


Type

PG-1
PR-1
PB-1
Color

green
red
blue
Measuring Range

0.025 to 0.075 mm
0.05 to 0.15 mm
0.10 to 0.23 mm





C h e c k i n g   R a d i a l   C l e a r a n c e


1. Remove crankcase lower section.


2.  Remove oil from bearing shell and bearing
journal.

3. Place Plastigage having width of bearing on
crankshaft journal in axial direction. Install crank-
case lower section carefully and tighten to
specified torque.


N o t e

Do not turn crankshaft while measuring.


4.  Remove crankcase lower section. Read width of
flattened Plastigage from measuring scale.
Corresponding value on measuring scale equals
the bearing clearance.

CODES OF CRANKCASE UPPER AND LOWER SECTIONS
AS WELL AS BALANCE SHAFT COVER

always be installed together. Check codes.





2.  Codes of beth balance shaft covers must be visible
from above after installation.

SEALING UPPER AND LOWER CRANKCASE SECTIONS


N o t e

Only Loctite 574 (orange) should be used as a sealant.
Loctite 574 will dry only in conjunetion with metal
and exelusion of air. After applying a coat of sealant
the bolts should be installed and tightened within
10 minutes, since the sealant on the metal will start
to dry.




R e m o v i n g   O i l   S e a l a n t

The old sealant does not have to be removed for
repairs. It is only necessary to remove grease from the
surface, so that after the cleaning solution has dried
the new coat of sealant can be applied. The new
Loctite will dissolve the old sealant in the surface
finish and dry again after assembling.
We recommend a fine steel brush or Loctite 80646
adhesive remover for removing old sealant, if this is
ever necessary.



A p p l y i n g   S e a l a n t

1.  We recommend a short-pile velour roller for application by hand. A tray will also be required for the sealant and should have a raised section to squeeze excess sealant from the roller.


     
2.  Roll on a very thin coat of sealant with a velour roller.

reduced on both sides on conrod base
and conrod cap).


C o n n e c t i n g   R o d   N u t s

The bearing surface of conrad nuts was also
changed due to the connecting rod material
change.
     




O l d

Smooth bearing surface,
Part No. 928 103 172 01.

N e w

Ribbed bearing surface,
Part No. 928 103 172 02.

After depletion of stocks, only the new
version (ribbed bearing surface) conrod
nuts will be available.


N o t e

The old (smooth) conrod nuts must never be
used with the new cast connecting rods.

It is recommended to use the new connecting
rod nuts each time the engine is repaired.
Tightening torque: 75 Nm.

The tightening torque of 57 + 5 Nm is still
applicable to smooth connecting rod nuts
used together with sintered steel connecting

Checking pistons

Measure approx. 57 mm from base of piston,
90° offset to axis of piston bolt.
      Checking cylinder bores

Measure approx. 57 mm from top edge of cylinder bore, across cylinder block. For measurement, mount lower crankcase section and tighten with prescribed tightening torque

Note
If recommended that the stocks of the relevant tolerance group are checked before machining the cylinders. If necessary, hone to the piston size available.
In some cases, certain tolerance groups may be in short supply.

MACHINING CYLINDER BORES IN UPPER CRANKCASE SECTION

The upper crankcase section is an aluminum alloy product and contains minute particles of
pure silicium.

In order to have an usable cylinder surface finish, the cylinder bores have to be machined in
a manner that the silicium particles protrude out of the aluminum and therefore pistons and
piston rings only have contact with the silicium.

If it is necessary to machine cylinder bores, they can be restored with a SUNNEN CK - 10/
CV - 616 cylinder repairing machine for installation of oversize pistons.

Standard size
Oversize 1
Oversize 2
100.00 mm
100.50 mm
101.00 mm

Single cylinder bores can be machined as required, since pertinent oversize pistons weigh the
same as standard pistons.

Prior to machining cylinder bores it is recommended to check the stocks on hand for pertinent
tolerance groups and, if necessary, to hone the bore for a certain piston size which is available.
There could be problems in supplying pistons of certain tolerance groups depending on
circumstances.

The following procedures are necessary.

Rough turning to 0.1 mm before finished size.
Dressing to 0.02 mm before finished size.
Polishing to finished size.
Lapping with Sunnen silicium mixture.

Lapping - uncovering the silicium crystals.
1. Set up machine as described in column 4 of test sheet.
2. Thoroughly remove all abrasive residue from previous honing jobs with filtered honing oil.
3. Wipe cylinder bores dry and apply a thin coat of thoroughly mixed silicium mixture.
N o t e:
If the silicium mixture is too consistent, it can be diluted by adding fresh honing oil and mixing
thoroughly.
4. Holders with felt inserts are new placed in the grinding attachment instead of guide shoe
   and honing stones.
Adjusting to the cylinder diameter is made with a gage as for the guide rails and honing stones.
5. Soak felt inserts in filtered honing oil and coat with silicium mixture.
6. Stop grinding oil feed; cylinders are lapped without grinding oil!


M a c h i n i n g   C y l i n d e r s

Guide grinding attachment into bore. Turn feed wheel anticlockwise until felt inserts rest on
walls. Start machine and keep turning handwheel anticlockwise until needle of load instrument
reaches approx. 20 to 30 %.

Now set scale of feed wheel to 20.

The machine stops on its own after about 80 seconds. The cylinder surface will new be dull and
without gloss.

First coat felt inserts with new silicium mixture before going on to the next cylinder.


N o t e:

If holder with felt inserts are not being used, they must be kept in the storage box to avoid
contact with dirt.

Never reuse old silicium mixture.

Check mating surface of cylinder head for dis-
tortion with a feeler gauge blade and straight-
edge.

Permissible distortion of maling surface:
0,05 mm. Cylinder heads with a distorted seal-
ing surface can be resurfaced by grinding.
Permisible distortion efter machining:
0,03 mm.

Grinding Cylinder Head

Only machine the sealing surface of a cylin-
der head enough to reach a level surface.

If the new-dimension tolerance is exceeded
during machining, a cylinder head gasket with
a thickness of 1.4 mm must be fitted.

New distance A = 24 +- 0.1 mm
Wear limit distance A = 23.6 mm


      Note

When refacing the sealing surface on the com-
bustion chamber side, always check the seal-
ing surface on the camshaft side as well and
reface if necessary.
Admissible distortion of the camshaft sealing
surface:
When checking: 0.1 mm
efter refacing : 0.03 mm
Before machining the sealing surface to the
camshaft housing, check dimension "A" to
avoid unnecessary work.
Before machining, plug the oil passage of the

REPLACING VALVE GUIDES


1. Clean and inspect cylinder head. Cylinder
heads, the valve seats or sealing surfaces of
which can no longer be machined, are not
suitable for replacement of valve guides.


2.  Grind off enough of valve guides protruding
from the camshaft end with a spot facer
that guides are flush with the cylinder head.



N o t e :

Be careful not to damage guide collar for
spring retainers.





3. Place cylinder head on Special Tool 9220.
        


4.  Loosen valve guides from the camshaft
end with Special Tool 9224 by applying
brief knocks and press out rest of guides
toward combustion chamber end in a
press.

6.  Grind off a service valve guide, Part No.
928 104 328 52 (13.27 mm outside dia-
meter), accordingly.

The press fit for intake and exhaust valve
guides must be 0.06 to 0.08 mm.


E x a m p l e :

Cylinder head bore measures 13.01 mm.
Service valve guide ground off to outside
diameter of 13.07 to 13.09 mm.


7.  Coat valve guides with talcum powder,
insert with a light knock, align and press
into cylinder head against stop from the
camshaft end with Special Tool 9221.
     












N o t e :

If appropriate workshop equipment
is available, cool valve guides in liquid air and
press into cylinder head heated to 190 °C.

Cylinder head must not be kept in heated
state (190 °C) longer than 90 minutes.



8.  Correct valve guides to size 9.00 to
9.015 mm (9 H 7) with a broach.

9.  If necessary, valve guides could be reamed
out with Special Tool 3015.

Procedures:

Always rub down valve guides with
"petroleum" lube. Run out ream frequently
to remove burrs. Check reamed out bore
with Special Tool P 206 and, if necessary,
ream out bore again with a dry ream.


     
10.  Valve seat inserts must also be machined
after replacing valve guides.
Grinding in valves with grinding paste
would not be sufficient.

Machining Valve Seats

Note


Before refacing the valve seats, check dimen-
sion "A" to avoid carrying out work that may
be unnecessary since the wear limit has
been exceeded.











Valve seats may be machined until the wear
limit distance "A" = 14,5 mm is reached.
(New part size: 13,65 +- 0,45 mm)

If applicable test with a new valve.
Distance "A" must not be exceeded, since
otherwise the function ot the hydraulic valve
tappet could not be guaranteed.
      The amount ot metal removed should be
limited to .an absolute minimum, to prevent
premature wear of part.




Checking valve guides

1. Remove remainders with a cleaning reamer.

2.  Place a new valve in valve guide and make
sure that valve stem end is flush with mat-
ing surface of cylinder head/carnshaft
housing.




3.  Check clearance with a dial gauge in dial
gauge holder VW 387.
Wear limit = 0,8 mm

Disassembling and assembling camshaft drive


Installing camshaft housing


Note


1. It is essential that cylinder no. 1 be at TDC
and the camshaft sprocket aligned with
mark to install a complete camshaft hous-
ing, since otherwise valves could be dam-
aged.


2.  Never crank engine as long as camshaft
belt is off or not tightened, since valves
could also be damaged.


Special note on toothed belts and drive
belts


As a rule. make sure the toothed belts and
drive belts are not kinked during assembly,
packaging and storage. Improper handling
may cauge incipient damage to the camshaft
toothed belts and may lead to engine damage.

REPLACING COOLANT AND BLEEDING COOLING SYSTEM
(With New Bleeder Adapter)

1.  Drain coolant (only when engine is cold).
Set heater lever at "warm" and unscrew drain
plugs on radiator and crankcase.



Note

The drain plug in the crankcase has been
discontinued as from model 89. Draining
facility from the auxiliary plastic connector

2.  Screw in drain plugs.
Tightening torque:
radiator     = 5 Nm   (43 in. lb)
crankcase = 20 Nm (14 ft lb)

Leave or set heater lever at "warm" and unscrew
bleeder screw.
Add coolant  s l o w l y  until coolant runs out
of bleeder adapter.





  Drain a small amount of coolant again until
coolant level reaches approx. half fult reservoir
mark. so that coolant will not overflow when
running engine warms up.


3.  Tighten bleeder screw several turns, start engine
and run at fast idle speed to reach operating
temperature (until radiator fan has switched on
and off).

Tighten bleeder screw when escaping fluid does
not have air bubbles.

Correct coolant level to reach "max," mark on
reservoir.

Check and, if necessary. correct coolant level
after test driving car.

Preassembling the heat exchanger

Mount the O-ring-type sealing rings on the oil-
feed connector piecesand insert the heat
exchanger into the housing with the plastic
washer.

2. Lay a straight edge on the contact surface
of the housing (without profile-section gear).

3.  Make up the gap between the spigot on the
heat exchanger and the straight edge with
shims (approx. 2). Suitable shims must be
fitted to provide an assembly dimension of 0
or +- 0.25 mm.


Note

The number of shims required between heat
exchanger and crankcase must be redeter-
mined every time repairs are carried out.

4. Position the preassembled housing on the
crankcase and tighten the screws lightly.
Screw in the lubricated assembly pin 9262/1
by hand, center and tighten the fastening
screws (crosswise). If there is any resistance
when unscrewing the assembly pin, repeat
the assembty procedure.

TROUBLESHOOTING CRUISE CONTROL



First check the following points if automatic
cruise control malfunctions.



1.  Check cable for damage and correct adjust-
ment.



2. Check fuse no. 8 on central electric board
(stop light uses same fuse).



3. Check function of stop lights.
Terminal 8 of control unit for cruise control
will have ground potential from the stop
tight bulb filament when brake pedal is not
operated.
Should both stop light bulbs de defective
simultaneously, the control unit cannot
function because the connection with car
ground is interrupted.



4. Check function of clutch switch.

Switch must be closed in neutral position
(ground switched to control unit terminal
14).
See "Removing and Installing Clutch
Switch" for adjustments.
      If a defect is not found while checking these
points, troubleshooting must be continued
on the control unit multiple pin plug and
drive.

CRUISE CONTROL TROUBLESHOOTING


In case of automatic cruise control
malfunctions, check the following
points first:


1.  Check cable for damage and correct
adjustment.


2. Check fuse and No. 19 in central
electric console. The brake light
uses the same fuse.


3. Check function of brake lights.
Terminal 2, plug 1 of the control
unit for cruise control will have
ground potential from the brake-
light bulb filament when the brake
I pedal is not operated. If both brake-
light bulbs are simultaneously
defective, the control unit cannot
function because the connection with
the car ground is interrupted.


4. Check function of clutch switch.



The switch must be closed and in
neutral position (switches ground
to control unit term. 7, plug 1)
      If no defect is found while checking
these points, troubleshooting
must be continued on the control unit
multiple-pin plug.

DANGERS ON ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS


The Type 944 is equipped with a digital engine electronic system (DME). In comparison to conventional systems the ignition power of DME is so high, that contact with current carrying parts while engine is running could be fatal. Consequently the ignition must always be turned off or battery ground wire disconnected when doing any work on ignition system.
Such work would be:

1. Connecting engine testers.

2. Replacing ignition system parts.

If DME testing or engine tuning requires turning on the ignition, the dangerous current mentioned above will be in the DME ignition system.

Lightning bolts indicate the danger spots in the wiring diagram illustrated below.








1 = Battery
2 = Ignition lock
3 = DME control unit
4 = Ignition coil
5 = Distributor
6 = Spark plug
