Can anybody give me any wisdom on an alternator conversion for my 912. I have seen a VW Alternator fitted but don't know the details. There was a kit on eBay but no longer there. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Had a wonderful drive this morning in the Borders, fantastic roads and over 100 miles 912 running beautifully. Then this cutting out started again eventually stopping completely. No power as if battery flat. However battery is fine and you can crank engine from aux wire in engine bay! Eventually fou...

Hey Shandy Have you removed your screen, did the stainless trim come off? I really need to remove the screen but dont want to sacrafice the trim. I think I am going to strip the car tomorrow so that I can start the metal work repairs and go for a partial restoration to stop the rot. How you getting ...

Thanks Woz, I've hit it with a hammer and I think it may be fixable. let's see!

Thankfully no serious corrosion down there so repairs I hope will be ...

Hi 914 followers Anybody got or know of a N/S door for my 914. There is a story, putting car up on ramps, no exhaust on car, lots of noise, concentrating on going backwards door catches fence post, didn't hear a thing but door now facing the wrong way. Was already damaged so can laugh a little. Good...

That's me, can't help myself, seeking treatment.
Al, hope you find a 914, say hello if I'm about.

Hi Andrew Great timing, I have just got the 914 home today. Will get some photos posted next weekend. It's actually pretty good, hell hole is not as bad as I thought, engine running well and brakes and clutch OK. Vital signs are good. First wash in eight years today, starting to get to know her. I a...

Hi Luke

I have a feeling you may be right about the earth lead. Will have a route around at the weekend. I agree that the generator should be fine for my type of use.

I hav a few oil leaks from the front and rear of the engine, contemplating
Wipping out the engine and fitting some new seals. Any special tools required or can you fit with common sense and a hammer?
Cheers

OK, this is what happens, have run 912 with no battery or generator issues for a couple of years and 3000 miles. On a couple of long journeys recently engine cuts out and the battery is flat. No charging warning light just a big backfire and then cut out. Restart and run on jump pack for a few miles...

Ok, we nearly have a matching pair, photo's later in the week.

Come on Shandy, where are these photo's. I'm not showing mine until I've seen your's

Ok, it's arrived and somebody cruelly said that it looked like it had arrived by tsunami. More corrosion than I had hoped but not a complete disaster. Who can direct me to the definitive guide to fixing the hell hole and who supplies the best repair kit? Also corrosion at rear corner of floorpan, an...
