Hi All

Have seen this on an unrestored car…does anybody have anymore details…? I assume the 022 refers to the 1.7L but what about the other number?

Any insight would be appreciated…thanks

slightly off topic.
something is weird about the engine production line photos.

tin wear is 914 tin?
don't think i am imagining this.
buses and 411s/412s had very different tin around the perimeters where it mated with body and around the fan.

some images below.

i could be wrong but i think all the buses and 411s had the coil off the mag fan shroud (1.8s did but not other 914s?).
engines in factory photos have coils on the tin mounting position.

but - they are all fitted with standard VW rear engine exhaust systems and big blocky VW standard heat exchangers.

?????????????

PS - see 411 brochure. I O painted on tin in front of fan shroud.
