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 stock sensor is some spring based variable resistance setup. I don't really know how it works, and I'm sure for it's time it was the status quo in terms of technology, but nowadays we have thermistors. Solid state components.
I had two stock sensors go out on my turbo car, possibly due to heat, but regardless it's really not a component that should fail. I found a unit that matches the stock heat-resistance curve and embed it into the shell of a stock unit. Which reminds me, I'd need core sensors to build off of. |

I have the unit that would not allow the car to work at all I can send you and purchase one of yours. Let me know how to get one of yours and I can send you the core. |
