Dear all,
first off, i want to say what a great site this is. Tons of useful information and i truely appreciate it. Now, a little history on my 914. I have a 72 914 w/2.0 (from a later car). The car had gone thru several owners and it is now street Illegal (so its race prepped) I had stored it for the past 4 yrs and ready to take it out to do some track time. The car runs and all but I need a reliable (competent) shop to "sort out the bug" for me. Not sure if mentioning shop name is allowed on this forum. So if its against the rule, please email me directly at ninefourteen@yahoo.com Thanks for all your help Carson |

I concur with Bela's Foreign Car Repair recommendation for type IV powered 914's. Don’t be alarmed by the look of his shop. He specializes in VW repair and he has piles of them around. You can barely walk through his shop. He knows type IV engines and their different fuel systems. Vary competent and a nice guy also. However, be advised, he is not too keen on working on heavily modified cars. Ask first.
TRE is another great shop however they do not work on many type IV 914's. Due to the higher hourly rate. However if you have a flat six this would be the shop to go to. |
