914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 914 4 cylinder dip stick replacement?
Posted by: Str1974 Sep 18 2022, 07:52 PM
I seem to have misplaced my dip stick for my 74 2.0 L. I thought it would be easy to find a replacement, but I was wrong.. when I google a Porsche 914 oil dip stick. I find it easy to find one for the 914-6. I can’t find info for 914-4 dip stick . If the replacement is the same as for a VW bus 2.0 L. I can’t imagine the 914-6 would use the same part as the 4 cylinder. Anyone know what the part number is for the 4 cylinder 914? And where to get one?What length should it be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Far as I know the cases are all the same in fit. Some were stronger than others. So the dipstick from a 1.7 may just work on a 2.0. Not sure if VW did something different cosmetically on the dipsticks in 74.

# 022 115 611 all 914/4s. at least thats what parts book says.
think shared with 411/412 sedans (not variant).
don't believe on bus. (comes out the rear engine bay bodywork on an angle).
think 912E also had same dipstick as 914s.

It all started with a leaky oil cooler 12 months ago…Decided to drop engine and someone suggested an engine rebuild…. New heads etc. Now it’s finally time to put everything back together after powder coating. I remember putting the dip stick somewhere safe…famous last words.

The Bus dipsticks are not the same as ours. They don't even go into the same place in the case; they go into a funnel that bolts onto the boss on the front side (914 orientation) of the case next to the alternator.
See the handle in this pic:
