My 914 I have owned for almost 30 years. Very beautiful car but has sat in my garage covered for 80% of that time. Never really ran very well, wants to shut off at red lights, stuff like that. I rebuilt the carburators my self but only got alittle better. I am going to do a standard compression test as well as a leak down test to see if it is worth messing with or just replace the engine completely.
Does anyone know a place in the Inland Empire to pick up a fully rebuilt 1.7? Please advise, thanks. |

There is also a great shop in Ontario but I can't think of the name at the moment. I also hear Rimco mentioned a lot but they maybe more VW shop. |

Yes, have Jorge at European Motor Works rebuild yours for very reasonable, they build plenty of type 4s. Or Gus in Rancho Cucamonga at german auto. FAT is very good, but more $$$. |
