The 1972 model year 914 has some unique, anomalous features or parts not present on other model years. 1972 seems to be a transitional year for our cars.
Because of their rarity, some of these parts may be hard to find and potentially valuable to the right 914 owner, similar to 912E parts. post a photo or describe those features or parts here. |

The ignition harness and chassis harness are unique in that they do not provide a circuit from an engine oil temp sender to an oil temp gauge.
1970-71 and 1973-76 models have the circuit in the chassis harness, but the 1972 model does not. 1970-71 models have the oil temp circuit in the ignition harness, which routes through the relay board. 1973-76 models have a dedicated 1-wire cable from the sender to the chassis harness, for the oil temp gauge in the center console. |

Mine had that and I bought a reservoir to hook up to it. First time I have heard someone else mention this. |

Mine had that and I bought a reservoir to hook up to it. First time I have heard someone else mention this. My wires were taped up just like the intermittent wiper relay wires were. Clearly a factory idea. Wonder about the motivations for using or not using the warning light. |
