I'd like to have am accurate gauge right on the case of the /6 so I can keep an eye on the oil when I do the break-in. I've seen these on 911 and they face the back of the car to make it easy to read. I figure on the 914, it should face up. Anyone here installed one?

Autometer makes a nice dampened, fluid filled gauge that is pretty small (around 1.5") that works great. I have one on my fuel pressure loop in the Squareback but it can also be used for oil too. I bought mine from www.speedmartinc.com for $40. Worth every penny.
VDO sells an inexpensive non-dampened gauge too. What a POS!! I recommend against a non-dampened gauge. Motor vibration will kill it in a couple months of driving. |
