Is there a such thing?
I was thinking about reliability and general life-span for the /4 and the /6, is it really worth going to a /6 just for longer life (possibly) and a bit more power? Or should I build a good fresh 2.0? |

When I bought my 914-6 in 1979 it had 42,000 miles on it. It now has 63,000 on it. So obviously I don't drive my car every day. However in the 28 years of ownership the only thing that ever went wrong with the car was the fuel pump. The original fuel pump started leaking in 1999 so I replaced with a new one. Other than that it’s been a totally reliable car. Always starts right up, idles perfect, never spits and sputters and runs and accelerates great. A very simple car with carburetors. No fuel injection issues here. Please note that the car has only been driven on nice days in the last 28 years. It has never even seen rain. So I'm sure that helps everything last longer.
