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.

I totally agree with top off driving. I really think it makes the car so much more enjoyable. Of course here in CA it's easy to pull that off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

QUOTE(Cairo94507 @ Oct 12 2020, 02:36 PM)  I totally agree with top off driving. I really think it makes the car so much more enjoyable. Of course here in CA it's easy to pull that off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) This time of year I can keep it off for one/two months. We have a carport at work I pull under for the 5 hours I am there from 5 am to 10 am. We get very cold mornings in Dec, Jan, feb, march to unless I wear a thick coat will travel with top on. I MIGHT just do the thick coat, will try that. Made an appt to take the car in Nov 2 but will have to drive one hour to get it there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
