VIN Page Options

[robkammer]

Hello all: I'm new to the 914 world and am hoping to add a 2.0 to our garage soon. I have seen references to a VIN page in the forums but can't find it on the site.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

As another little bit of info.
we did find one 74 L jet that was retrofitted with guages and console post production line and the fitment was done by the dealer to utilise the inbuilt wiring in the chassis harness.

the fitment was done at the dealer pre shipment. all the paperwork with the car when it was for sale on BAT about 8 years back showed it clearly that it had been fitted by the dealer.

it was quite unusual as it did not use the sump plate and sender fitted to the factory made cars with the console and guages. instead it was a sender inserted into the oil pressure sensor/sender on top of the engine. i suspect the reason was that it is actually a little difficult to replicate the factory wiring from the sump sender to the top of the engine without dropping the engine. the dealer probably did not wish to do that much work.

the guages are also interesting as they are not factory VDO guages. they are another type fitted into the console. it all appeared to be original to the car from new at the dealer. it was a very original excellent condition car.

my conclusion was that dealers could do the console guages addition as a plug and play easily as all the wiring was there for it all the way to the dashboard. including the sump plate and sender in all the 2.0 engine cars. but it was not such an easy plug and play for the dealers in the 1.8s. hence most of the 1.8s with the console and guages were a factory production line order item to get the sump plate and engine wiring.
