Hi all, I made an appt to take the car in have oil fumes inside car when pull heater knob. The porsche mechanic said probably have oil dripping on the 3-4 foot long heat exchangers and inside for years built up. He said on VWs they usually replace them are they available for 914s. If not available he said he may be able to bring them to a radiator shop and have them cleaned out. I need some guidance, opinions and suggestions on this project.

He is probably correct. Pull all the heat tin and have it cleaned. If it is really bad it may have blown all the way to the flapper boxes and flex tubes.

QUOTE(bdstone914 @ Oct 12 2020, 12:13 PM)  He is probably correct. Pull all the heat tin and have it cleaned. If it is really bad it may have blown all the way to the flapper boxes and flex tubes. And 74 1.8 heat exchangers are unique. They have larger tubes than 1.7. Hard to find any solid heat exchangers. Oily ones usually have less rust. I do have a clean refinished set of them and refinished tin. See what they want to dip all of the parts. |
