....and rust!
But I think that one was coming up in their later follow on +/- 1976 owners survey.
It's also interesting that Porsche had instituted "fixes" for the following complaints that you listed above in the subsequent post-70-72 MYs -
Vapor Lock or fuel pump failure
<-- service bulletins to relocate FP to front, below fuel tank & up behind steering rack/cover, & production 914s 75-76 moved up front at factory.Speedometer and Fuel Gauge Failure
<-- 150 mph Speedo from 911/914-6 for 73>, which didn't go bad at the odometer on mine until 150k+Clutch cable breaking < service bulletins to check transaxle ground strap & clean corrosion if needed (bad grounding goes thru clutch cable instead & fries them)
Vague shifting
<-- tweaked the tail shifter for 72 MY, & new 901 side shifter 73>Starter failure or solenoid would not work while hot
<-- multiple starter p/n superceeds, but never really fixed it!Roof squeaking
<-- new & better targa roof seals & design, along with the new windows/regulators for 72>... and my rust noted from later owners survey above
<-- well, they never fixed it on 914s, but all other 76 MY Porsche models were hot dipped in zinc thereafter! Thanx for sharing jawja!
