So because I care more about driving my 914 than fixing issues with a leaking engine I decided to buy a 1.8L. I mean why not. So it runs and doesn't run perfect, but sounds pretty ok. I barely got through my last dark magic djet battle. This is an all new animal. This has most likely been asked before, but I have never come across it. IS there a listing of all the seals, hoses, frog powder dust, that I need to purchase to do a complete tune up of this old girl? When I perform a tune up it usually consists of cap, rotor, plugs, wires, oil, valve adjustment, and timing. I never touch any seals or vac hoses, but it seems like this should be done. Help me please with a list of "definite replace these" items. Oh and it's a 75 1.8L.
Thanks team! |

If you just bought the car, I would recommend going through all the L-Jet systems and make sure they're functioning. Then, once you've got a baseline established and a familiarity with what each part does, you'll find this car much more enjoyable.
I've been chasing a weak cold start issue ever since I bought my car last year. I've uncovered/learned some very interesting things along the way that I think are important for every L-jet owner to keep an eye on. In finding so many small issues, I've arrived at the opinion that my cold start issues are a culmination of many things not working as they should. Us 1.8 guys are here and ready to help whenever you're ready to dig in. Van |
