On the earlier 914 engine the Airbox Pressure Sensor and the Static Pressure
Sensor are mounted on a bracket on the firewall. The Airbox Pressure Sensor
connects to a fitting on the airbox via a rubber tube, with a "water trap"
in the line to the airbox. The "water trap" looks like a fuel filter for a
Volkswagen (maybe it is).

Paul,
My 914, delivered about a month ago is the same. Maybe the older engines
have the airbox sensor separate? Anyone out there able to tell us?
Regards, Paul

> Neither the europa manual nor the Rotax installation manual appear to tie
up with our engine (914 delivered 2 months ago). The manuals call for the
airbox pressure sensor to be mounted on a backet with the static sensor and
4mm PCV piping connecting it to a 'T' on the airbox. There is no 'T' on our
airbox and the airbox pressure sensor appears to be perminantly installed
directly into the airbox. Neville knew nothing about it so it would appear
that the manufacturer has modified the engine without altering the
installation manual. Anyone know anything more or different?
