i just bought a 75 914 with a "remanufactured by VW of Canada" engine. It has a number on the new tag that does not correspond to anything. VW cant tell me what the numbers mean.
The dipstick in it seems to be too short, when full of oil the oil just reaches the bottem, I just got a new 1.8 dipastick and it is too long, it does not go all the way in? Any ideas? engine has fuel injextion, runs well, pulled plugs and found 2.0 plugs? Is there a difference between 1.8 and 2.0 dipsticks? thanks |

On my engine, the top of the dipstick tube was broken off long before I got it, and some DAPO who was actually pretty smart cut the dipstick down and scribed new marks on it in the right places, I know because I checked.
The dipstick tube should extend up beyond the top of the breather/filler stand a couple of inches, the part that is integral to the case, not the black part that comes off. It's hard for me to tell you exactly how high the tube goes since I don't have one, so clearly my dipstick is too short. |
