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

firm confirmation of plumbing to engine bay charcoal can.
another one exactly like wonki and starbear cars.
or is it?
plumbed up VW way, rather than porsche way?
in this car the can appears to be reversed in orientation from wonki car, but the hose layout is the same (with the S curve hose off the fan cowl).
so this one is plumbed porsche way?
my car is after this one, mine is a late jan build.
914 mysteries continue.
found quite a few of these confirming images re plumbing i've found trawling sales of very good condition original cars. this is the first one i have seen where the can is reversed in orientation (see the shape of the end of can). could have been taken out and put back in the other way around - or is evidence of a first installation set up by the factory - more questions. (if you put the can in this way, you would need a longer small hose to join the vapor line to get around to lhs of can. i did not change that hose in my car or alter the can). there are receipts in document files for all the usual work it takes to recommission a car dated 2020. this car sat for a long time somewhere in storage which explains its generally good condition. lots of fuel line work and injectors fuel tank etc done. so can could have come out and gone back in. i've never touched the can in mine.



further evidence of 74 1.8 engine bay hose colors.
i noticed that one line off the decel valve on my car was a very faded red or brown color. just one hose. along with green vacuum retard hose off the distributor.
all other hoses were mid to dark grey color.

this car shows clearly. one reddish brown hose off decel. green hose off dist.

original hoses from wonki car (bagged after replacement).
i left the green hose on the dist.
