Hi everybody,
The fuel pump in my '73 914 2.0L FI is leaking and I need to replace it. I was a bit upset to discover that this part is discontinued, and then I found "rebuilds" at AutomobileAtlanta. Well, after installing three of their so called "rebuilds" that were not working, they admitted that they are selling imitations made in China (http://www.autoatlanta.org/detail.lasso?Pa...ial_number=7902). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) They will refund me, but what a watse of time. Now, I am not sure of what I can do. I searched the web, and all I can find are all kinds of fuel pumps for the 914 (like inline fuel pumps) that have only two hose connections on them. Mine has three. I also read discussion threads from people using non-oem fuel pumps in their 914s and some of them had problems after a while. In other words, I would feel much better, if I could find an OEM fuel pump. Do you know if someone still sells them? Another alternative would be to fix my fuel pump, but I don't know if that is possible at all. Cheers! JF |

no admission here. We have many many parts made in China and Taiwan with great success. We investigated this firm before we contracted and the company in Germany said that they were reliable. We did not anticipate a 20% failure rate.
As an alternative, we still have the fuel injection rebuilds on the shelf which have a really low non working rate and sell them as an alternative. We test each pump new or rebuild electrically before sending but many times the pumps take a shot of debris and immediately do not pump or lock up. Very important to clean the fuel lines and tank first as the pumps are immersed in the gasoline |
