On the right side of the car engine compartment - 914-6

There are two oval holes for the 914-4 FI, one is plugged with this when it is a 914-6 engine.

Is this an original part?

With the /6 being carburated, I would assume there is no return line and therefore one of the hole would be capped with this plug? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

From the PET diagram, single line and your part (#19).
Its description is: Stopper used on 1.8. but also referenced as being used on /6 on AA website.

yes

thats the stopper for a 1.8V (V being the twin carb euro 1.8).
which makes sense that its maybe same part that came from earlier 6.
also carb.
though PET does not list it as 6 part anywhere i can find.
but would not be first time PET is not entirely complete.

Is this located down by the base of the battery tray? Our car has one plug and one grommet with a hole in the middle.

parts are NLA but last time I checked AA had replacements. These would be a great idea for 914 Rubber to make.

This picture shows another often overlooked 914 6 part.
Because the 6 has no rain tray on the engine lid there are no drain tubes to
pass through the engine shelf, therefore it has the two round plugs pictured.
Thank you for posting.
