Porsche 911 SC BJ 1978 Heating flap actuation

  • Good evening!,


    Can ir someone please help what the 3rd lever is for on the left next to the handbrake? the two on the right next to the handbrake are for the heater flaps, there is nothing connected to the left one on my car except the white plastic part.



    Is it possible that this is a lever for the parking throttle? In my car was installed a 3.2 Carrera engine and maybe that's why it is out of function?


    Thanks in advance and best regards from Austria

  • Hello Andreas,


    the left lever indeed looks the same as on F models. From G model but had m.W. no 911 more a hand throttle, this function is taken over by the auxiliary air slide in the K-Jetronic engines, thus runs automatically. It could therefore be that due to ignorance / lack of understanding of the K-Jetronic and cold start problems "somekind of a Handgas" has retrofitted....or one has retrofitted the handbrake lever of an F model due to defect of the old handbrake lever?...no idea. k:unknown:

    Anyway, neither a K-Jetronic engine nor a 3.2 Carrera engine needs a hand throttle if everything works.


    I would get myself a handbrake lever and a bracket that fits the car and sell the one from the F model for a profit. :khat:

    P.s.: The first link does not work

  • Hello Thomas,


    thanks for your tip!


    Have just found a hand brake lever allegedly from a 77 Bj. It is interesting that according to the spare parts catalog 1978-1983 the hand brake lever has until 1981 still 2 levers (li+re) for the heating flaps article no.: 911 424 051 08 and from 82 then only one article no.: 911 424 051 13. In addition, there was still the variant with the automatic heating control until 81.

    The early model years with K-Jet did not have an additional air slide. I think until 1976. Bruno has his US 911s from 1975 also still no ZLS and but but just that idle throttle next to the levers for the flaps.

    Ahaaa...ok good to know. Thanks for the clarification! So the handbrake lever is then but paasend to the car. But is no longer needed on a 3.2 anyway....


    => Remove the hand throttle lever and store it. The other two heating levers are still needed...

  • Hi Andrew, Hi Thomas,


    That's exactly how I will do it "=> remove hand throttle and store".


    Thanks again for your support!
