Can anyone tell me what difference is between the two oiler coolers that are listed in the parts catalog for 914-6? My experience has been when multiple parts are listed, one superseded the other and are the same form, fit, function. What is throwing me off is quite a wide difference in price on these. Roughly $500 delta for the places that offer both (e.g. Pelican, Porsche Atlanta Perimeter, Auto Atlanta, etc.)
Thanks. |

Double check whatever you do get--the outlet on the 914-6 cooler points in a different direction than on a 911 cooler to clear the suspension console.
We have seen instances in the past where Porsche superceded a part to a different part that did not fit correctly or work correctly. My guess was that they ran out of the earlier part and called the replacement part "good enough" without actually trying to use it. This sounds like it might be the same thing. Maybe ask for a picture before you buy it? --DD |
