All,

According to the parts catalog, the /6 combo gauge is part number 914.641.101.20. This is the only /6 combo gauge part number listed. Certainly, the parts catalog has its share of omissions, so I am not overly surprised at finding this...

(IMG:http://p914.com/p914-resources/p914-gauges/p914-6-gauges-combo-10-number.jpg)

Does anyone have any insight as to the differences between the ".10" and ".20" gauges? The only thing I see is that the ".10" gauge has off-white coloring for the face text and inserts.

Also, it would be logical that the ".10" gauge preceded the ".20" gauge in production, so I was wondering if there was a specific VIN or timeframe changeover. Thanks for any info you may have...

You'd expect to see only the last (supercedes all others) part in the book, so that'd explain why the .20 revision is shown but the earlier .10 isn't.

I have no clue on difference - it may be a distinction without a difference, such as a lot number from two buys from VDO. You can see the factory wanting to be able to track warranty claims to a lot number, for instance.

Agreed.

The best thing to do is to get the date codes and part #'s off of as many guages as possible. That will narrow down the transition.

That was kind of what I was hoping to do with this thread! If anyone gets the chance, please post your 914/6 VIN and whether you have the .10 or .20 combo gauge number. Perhaps we can find a correlation. Thanks!

Not so much the VIN's, although that would be helpful also. Get the ink-marked date stamps off of the guages.

Hi Steve,
OK. I have an original combo gauge in hand from my #0137 that I swapped out just last week with another. This gauge is stamped 12.69 on both temp & gas components for a car built in 01/70. It is a ".10" part number. The date on the one I put in the car is 7.69 on both components and it is also a ".10". I checked my other six #0876 (03/70) and it is ".10" but I don't have that date.
What you need to look for are '71 & '72-6's and get those numbers.

BTW; Does anyone know what that blanked out white spot is for?

Don

Thanks for the info, Don & Mark!

Okay, let's rephrase the question... Any '71 or '72 original six owners out there have the ".20" gauge, or do you have the ".10" as well?

I see... Maybe the real question is, "Does anyone have a 914/6 combo gauge with part number 914 641 101 20? If so, what is the VIN and can you post a pic?"

I'm sure it exists. As noted, it is in the parts catalog, and the 1973 /4 combo gauge is part number 914 641 101 30.

Just because a part number is shown in a Porsche parts catalog?
You been buying Porsche parts long?

(Sorry - snide rhetorical question...)

-I- would need more evidence.

Could be Porsche just bumped the part rev so they could show the '.10' part as unavailable... Or it's in anticipation of the next buy from VDO.

The Porsche parts catalogs are full of parts that don't exist...

Facts of which we are all painfully aware!
Anyway, if the ".20" gauge does not exist, I expect that no one will respond that they they have one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
If it does, I'd like to know about it.

This is your research project, not mine.

If I did really care, tho, I'd probably contact Palo Alto Speedo and North Hollywood Speedo and ask them if they've ever seen one.

Or the PartsHeaven's, EASY's, and dC Automotive's of the world, who have had a lot of parts in and out of their hands through the years...

I just checked my '71 six (very late built => COA says delivered on June 1st, 1971)

voila: 914.641.101.20 => this is the evidence that they exist (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)

Even better, how about the fact the BOTH are still available from Porsche?
