I've been driving 914s for 25 plus years and have broken down more than once. Having some tools and extra parts comes in handy. This is what I carry along and was just wondering what everyone else had in their tool box. I have a wire tucked under the battery box that connects to the hot side of the fuel pump. If I don't hear it run for a few seconds when the key is turned on I connect the wire to the hot side of the coil to get me home ( if the pump isn't shot ). I also carry extra cables and jumpers. What else can we do to keep from calling a tow truck? Ray

An extra ignition coil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Over the last 20 years I have had the coil go out twice on me.

In 40 continuous years of making my living as a wrench and a shop owner, I don't think I sold more than 50 coils of any kind or brand, and a big chunk of the total was 911 CDI coils. Bosch coils, in particular the ones used on 4 cylinder air cooled engines, are remarkably reliable. The coil on my '65 911 is original. The coil on my nearly-500,000 mile Jetta was original when I sold it to the county for recycling. The Cap'n |

The Cap'n As these cars have gotten older, I have had issues with the old yellow top coils getting to hot in the summer and not working. A blue coil has lasted for at least ten years now.... |
