No not yet, that is the next thing i'm going to deal with. I want to either weld or sheet metal screw a plate over the hole someone cut out for the AC first. That is where most of the hot air is coming from I believe. Otherwise I have to cut one of the seals to stop where that hole is, which doesn't make much sense. I think welding it would be better, but i'd probably have to ask Cesar for his help. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Topics are beat to death only if you have been around here for several years. The reason they are beat to death is because we have a constant influx of like minded people joining our ranks. I didn't know shit from apple butter when I joined here but I do now. Shit from apple butter that is. I'm still learning these little cars that we all love. Newbies and curmudgeons alike. The Cap'ns advice is solid. Ignore the BS that was coming from the galleries. ...Maybe..Maybe not, there is a wealth of knowlege in the Searches mode.Should try it!!.Lot of old topics on this & other valuable tips (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)(be cool man!) |

When I first bought my 914 I was using HD30 like in my beetles, I have an old school vw mechanic that told me to use it in them. The advice here led me to 20w50 for the teener.

Thanks everybody for your input. Probably going to pick up some valvoline vr1 20w50 today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) i just started running this in my car, it has the correct zinc , ZPPD . there are a few studies out there comparing other important propertiesof this type of oil, for our engines and VR1 was the top rated above brad penn and joe gibbs. i have a high milage engine so i have more wear than most and i do need to have a thicker oil i think. - we will see how it goes. pw |
