Just as the title states....
When I was dressing my new motor I noticed these 'reverse' flaps. But have no idea what cable would hook up to the flapper arm, or where it would come from? Or what would activate it? Someone please enlighten me... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ...WELL I am exasperated at the lack of creative thought on this subject matter by a few of you guys that are stuck in the monkey see monkey do philosophy of engine building. with your philosophy, and attitude, NOTHING, on the 914 should be altered or improved, as it cannot possably work better, run better, cooler, or with more H.P. ..So , hopefully as my final input to this post I Will continue to build.em my way and you build,em your way. staying as you are in the dark ages of technology. the end.

Or does anyone have a good used 914 one? |

I can see if the Bellows mech is still there for you and I'm in Oceanside, PM me if so and I can check, but being in SD, I've set mine to the default cooling position and I'm sure that will be fine. |

RiqueMar, I have been running the flaps on my 2056 in the cooling position for almost the last year as well. But Joe Ricard makes a good point in post #10, which has to do with proper engine warm-up. Lets face it - the engineers at VW/Porsche didn't go to all the trouble to design this system for no reason, even if it isn't as cold in San Diego as it is in Germany...
I am going through my 914 trying to get everything in place and working. Things I rarely use, if even at all. Things like interior heat and defrost, windshield wipers and squirters. So I decided I do want the original cable/stat in place and functioning. After all, it did work once upon a time... So, ya got one for me??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
