Hi,
I am about to purchuse my first 914. I have not gained all the knowledge I need yet, but will do so with time. I now have a super beetle with a 1915cc in it. but its not what i want, i LOVE the 914 in every way. Anyhow, here is my issue..
I went to look at the car I'm buying and these were the some issues I need to ask you "pros" about..
There were NO rust in the usual spots, some surface rust at the back trunk and some small rust parts at the front trunk. Nothing major at all which I was surprised about.
BUT, the battery wasnt charging, although a new alternator was installed. it hasnt been driven for 2 months and im thinking it could be that. Also there were a smal oil leak from the front of the engine (towards the fornt wheel) Also a small ping noise from the engine while it was running. But the car had no sign of it being in an accident.
So he will replace the battery and then i'll drive it home happy???? I will let my mechanic go over it though and see what I really need to do wih it.
But I would like to hear some opinions about it and see if anyone might have an idea of whats going on with the car..
Thanks to those that take their time and tries to help me!!
