The 924 used an Audi engine, I think until the S model which then used the 944 Porsche designed unit, essentially half a 928 engine. The dash changed in 86 to a more Euro design without separate dials, I liked the old style better. The motor mounts did fail on some cars over time, I think they were fluid filled. The car always had a slight vibration to it and ran lousy till warm. The AFM (air flow meter) was prehistoric in design and failed with age as well.
