I'm trying to replace the air filter element in my 1973 914 1.7L. Fram CA-383 was the prior replacement.
I got one from my local parts store, but it didn't fit properly. Subsequently I ordered one from one of the big Porsche outfits online. It was the same as the one from the local store! The 'recommended' replacement has a larger inside diameter, causing it to miss the sealing ring in the lower part of the housing. It will leak outside air directly into the engine. Internet search has not turned up anything on this issue. Any ideas? |

I posted this a while back.
Dimensions: Mann C2180 (OEM, NLA) 124mm ID 207mm OD 82mm tall Here's what I'm running now. Wix 42110 125mm ID 163mm OD 76mm tall It's 6mm too short, so I cut a piece of cork gasket material the same size as the filter to fill the extra gap. I found 1/4" to be too much, so I think I've got a couple of pieces in there now that are just under 1/4" total. Gary |
