Fill and bleed the cooling system on Porsche 924S/944 (simple method)
With a cold engine the circuit splits in two at the thermostat. Fill block and head, open the 12 mm bleed screw, and skip unnecessary procedures.
A small workshop designing engine, suspension and interior parts for the 924S and 944.
Made by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts
What we make
Paddock Service isn't a catalogue. We pick one weak point at a time (a plastic water pipe that cracks, an alternator pulley heavier than it needs to be, a throttle cam with lazy first travel) and design the part we'd want to fit on our own car. Drawn in CAD, prototyped, tested on a 924S, then produced in small runs.
Some parts replace OEM items gone NLA. Others are upgrades where the factory left performance on the table. Everything is made in Europe.
How it started
Paddock Service began as a restoration project.
When the right parts turned out to be either NLA or a transatlantic order away, I started designing them, first for my car, then in small runs for yours.

Replacing the oil sump gasket on a 924S/944 without pulling the engine can be fiddly. One simple trick PTFE tape or dental floss holds the gasket in place during refitting.
The 924S and 944 rely on two bell-housing sensors for fuel injection. Here is how to test them, swap them, and set the clearance correctly.
