I have a bad head temperature sensor on my 1974 1.8 914. I called Pelican Parts and they say they are not available. My car is just dumping fuel and I cant drive it until I get a new one.
Where can I find them?
Thanks
Dwayne

The D-jet ones should work, at least to some extent.

According to all the sources I can find the CHT sensor is the same part for all the years. Many VW models used the same part. Cant find it.

What is the part #? The bughaus page is showing 0280130012 that is for a D-Jet. It is a common head temp sensor.

When you click on the part to order the next page says "Not available" The part number is the same, the D and L both use the same CHT sensor.
I have tried all sorts of web sites and once you click to order they are not available.

Not to say that you don't need a CHT sensor but how did you determine you need one?

The CHT is not a common failure point and I dont think I have ever seen one thta failed such that the engine was being flooded with fuel.

I would be more suspicious of the Air Flow Meter than the CHT sensor. They are known for sticking and binding.

After hours of searching I finally found a place that provided a new part number.
Engine Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor-Bosch 802 54117 101 Around $30

It list all of the same vehicles as the old part number.

Funny that all the Porsche sellers don't seem to know this.
It made no sense that this many vehicles would have no supply

Measured its resistance. I had another one sitting around that gave a better reading and put it in. it runs now. I want to put a brand-new unit in to get even better reading.

Well, I ordered under that new part number and guess what, not available.
I finally talked to someone that actually knew about the problem at the Bus Depot. He was baffled about what to do.
Every single type 1,2,3,4 aircooled and some watercooled with fuel injection use that same exact sensor.

I do not understand what happened to all the sensors, you could buy them all day long for less than $30 bucks. I checked all my sources and they came up empty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
