One of the things I admire about the 914 is that every piece seems to serve a purpose.
One if the things troubling me on my 2.0 was the VW smell in the cabin. I knew exhast and exchangers are good but it was still there. Turns out that while the rubber seals around the engine tins are all new, a section on drivers side kept popping off. I thus glued it with some 3M weather strip adhesive. Nice long drive today, nothing but fresh air. |

That is interesting. The air that passes through the heat exchangers on the way to the cabin begins at the engine cooling fan and shroud. I thought that this would always result in some odor from the engine compartment being passed on to the cabin. I was aware of a faint mechanical/oil odor and blamed my dual carbs. Perhaps I need to replace the engine tin to body seals. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
