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 |

QUOTE Is there a difference between 1.8 and 2.0 same dipstick for both engines. the tube extends approx. 152 mm out of the case or 52 mm above the top of the case casting. reman engines sometimes fit multiple applications, does it have studs/blockoff's for a fuel pump or remote oil filler? what's the number of the tag? |
