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 |

Investigate the fuel line, fuel pump arrangement for a 75-76 fuel pump. The factory 75-76 pump is a 2 port pump so maybe you can adapt it to your pre 75. Another possibilitiy is to replace the o-ring as maybe that is the cause of the leak. If the leak is in the electrical plug, I have no advice.
