I just picked up my first 914. It is my 3rd Porsche that I've ever owned and also the oldest. It is a 1971. My question, which invariably is going to sound really silly to me after its answered is this; right next to the gas tank on the left (passenger side) is a plastic tank with a cap on it. What is this for? Thanks in advance for the helpful replies.

windshield washer bottle. Should be a tube from the cap to the tire valve on the spare for air pressure.

And there may be a hose that runs from that bottle to the spare tire...it runs on air pressure and draws it from the spare.

Next will come the real question: How the hell does it work?!
Does it have a hose coming off of the cap (likely going to no-where) or is that part missing? Do you have a spare tire? |

Now I have a silly question. Did you just start a second "silly question" thread because you couldn't find the first one you started? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

Therefore no longer "that one", since this one and that one are now one. Got it? Kinda like "who's on first?" |

Cut the hose. Get a $12 Flaps electric pump. the rotten hose works it's inside the steering wheel and will dump water in your lap when it splits.
Somewhere here there's a thread on this. I don't have it bookmarked but someone will post it I'm sure. |
