I seem to have misplaced my dip stick for my 74 2.0 L. I thought it would be easy to find a replacement, but I was wrong.. when I google a Porsche 914 oil dip stick. I find it easy to find one for the 914-6. I can’t find info for 914-4 dip stick . If the replacement is the same as for a VW bus 2.0 L. I can’t imagine the 914-6 would use the same part as the 4 cylinder. Anyone know what the part number is for the 4 cylinder 914? And where to get one?What length should it be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Far as I know the cases are all the same in fit. Some were stronger than others. So the dipstick from a 1.7 may just work on a 2.0. Not sure if VW did something different cosmetically on the dipsticks in 74.

(comes out the rear engine bay bodywork on an angle). think 912E also had same dipstick as 914s. |

New heads etc. Now it’s finally time to put everything back together after powder coating. I remember putting the dip stick somewhere safe…famous last words. |

The Bus dipsticks are not the same as ours. They don't even go into the same place in the case; they go into a funnel that bolts onto the boss on the front side (914 orientation) of the case next to the alternator.
See the handle in this pic: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.thesamba.com-121-1663577518.1.jpg) --DD |
