I was just curious at the reliability of the 914. I know currently mine isn't but that's because i'm still ironing out the kinks the POs caused. But what about you guys and your 914s?

I've had my '74 2.0 FI since early 2006. In that time I've replaced the fuel pump, starter, battery, flasher and some fuses. I've got some bearing whine in the tranny and I'll replace the clutch when the tranny gets rebuilt. It's a 3-season DD and I always feel like I can take it on a 2000 mile trip with just the usual fluid changes. It's not pristine by any measure, but it's a good, solid driving machine. I drive it fairly hard at times and I never baby it. I had a brand new '73 1.7 that gave me more trouble than this one, but that was primarily vapor lock related that the dealership finally fixed.
Get you car sorted out and you'll be very pleased with it IMHO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
