The manual establishes comprehensive technical references for 944 S 16-valve and 968 four-cylinder engines. Documentation sections include complete engine removal procedures, crankshaft assembly specifications covering tolerance ranges for bearing clearances and journal dimensions, and cylinder head service including camshaft timing adjustment protocols. The fuel system chapters document DME electronic control diagnostics with fault code interpretation, injection valve testing sequences, and oxygen sensor regulation parameters. Maintenance sections provide self-diagnosis workflows using System Tester 9288 equipment, actuator function verification steps, and input signal testing procedures for throttle position switches and temperature sensors.
Engine mechanical documentation covers M 44.40 and M 44.41 displacement variants with compression ratio specifications, valve timing data showing intake and exhaust events relative to piston position, and balance shaft drive adjustment protocols. The crankcase chapters document bearing installation with Plastigage measurement techniques, piston-to-cylinder clearance specifications across standard and oversized bore dimensions, and connecting rod torque-angle tightening sequences. Cylinder head service includes valve guide replacement procedures with press-fit tolerances, valve seat machining specifications for 45-degree contact angles, and valve spring installation length verification using dial gauge measurement.
Fuel injection chapters document L-Jetronic air flow sensor voltage characteristics, fuel pressure regulation testing at 3.3 bar idle specification, and injector pulse width monitoring via oscilloscope connection. The DME diagnostic section provides fault memory readout procedures, error code cross-references linking component failures to test point verification steps, and system adaptation protocols for idle speed volumetric efficiency calibration. Ignition system documentation includes Hall signal waveform analysis, knock sensor mounting torque specifications to prevent false detonation signals, and timing advance maps affected by coolant temperature input.
Lubrication system data includes oil pressure specifications showing minimum 4 bar at 5000 rpm, pressure relief valve spring characteristics, and oil circuit flow routing through the crankcase-integrated heat exchanger. Cooling system chapters document thermostat opening temperatures, radiator cap pressure relief settings, and bleeding procedures to eliminate air pockets after component replacement. The exhaust sections provide catalytic converter test adapter connection points, oxygen sensor heater circuit verification steps, and emission control system integrity checks for vehicles meeting various regulatory standards.
Electrical diagnostics cover DME control unit pin assignments, power supply verification through terminal 15 and permanent positive circuits, and ground path integrity testing between engine block and chassis connections. The wiring sections document connector locations throughout the engine bay, plug terminal identification for multi-pin assemblies, and contact resistance specifications that affect sensor signal quality. Troubleshooting workflows provide systematic component isolation techniques, voltage drop testing across circuit paths, and resistance measurements for NTC temperature sensors across operating ranges.
Specialized procedures include toothed belt replacement for camshaft and balance shaft drives with tension specifications, engine mounting bracket torque sequences to prevent powertrain movement, and fuel system leak testing using pressure decay measurement over timed intervals. The appendices contain equipment tables listing Bosch part numbers for ignition components, spark plug specifications with electrode gap dimensions, and special tool requirements for valve spring compression and seal installation operations. Technical data sections provide weight distributions, performance characteristics including acceleration metrics, and fluid capacity specifications for all lubrication and cooling circuits.
