Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
If the function of the sensor is the same between the 924 turbo & 944, you would think you could adjust the height of the sensor to make it work.

The bracket that hold the sensor, in the 944, is adjustable height wise to set the gap.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, The series 2 924 turbo was fitted with a DITIC (Digital ignition system) that utilised a flywheel sensor. The 924 turbo is one of the few cars on the world that utilised this technology and lots of people (including myself) have found that their flywheel sensor needs to be replaced, and then find they are no longer produced. Surfing on the 924 groups on FB recently and discovered that a company called 'Classic Line' will be soon releasing a replacement. Company doesn't have a website (that I know of), however if interested you'll easily find in FB and could message Corentin. That's the limit of my knowledge on the subject, if anyone else is wiser I'd be interested in feedback on the sensor etc.

POST 2Original post

I saw this as well on Facebook and was only telling someone about it last night. I'm lucky, or unlucky enough, depending which way you look at it, that I have a Series 1 so this doesn't affect me, but what great news for Series 2 owners. This part has been the weakest link and downfall for many S2 Turbos. Thanks for sharing!

POST 3Original post

Is this sensor different than the ones on the 944?

POST 4Original post

Quotes source post: 358342

Yes it is Brian. The last one I know of for sale is $1,400 used for the 924T. I believe the 944 ones are readily available which makes it a really hard pill to swallow for those that need one. The 944 sensor is much longer than the 924T one.

POST 5Original post

If the function of the sensor is the same between the 924 turbo & 944, you would think you could adjust the height of the sensor to make it work. Someone in the US made a plastic tool that is for sale, to set the gap between the sensor & flywheel. The bracket that hold the sensor, in the 944, is adjustable height wise to set the gap. This must all have been discussed somewhere on line.

POST 6Original post

Completely different parts ..

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My understanding is that the sensing mechanism is different with between the 924 and 944 sensor. 924 sensor is very unique when it comes to fly wheel sensors.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
