I took the body off of my 63 beetle the other day, just to do I couple of jobs easier. I noticed that the drivers side inner tie rod was loose, so am replacing that. Also noticed that the upper drivers side link pin has stacks of movement in it (Side to side) Is there a way to tighten this, or...

Will a 6-volt choke from a 28PICT fit the 30PICT?

Hey folks, I was wondering what has been your experience with the "freeway flyer" tranny in a bug or ghia application. I am considering going for the 3.88:1 R/P with stock gearing on my 1960 Ghia. I've got a 1600 DP engine with Engle 110 camshaft and it runs great (with ~40,000 miles...

The rear of my '68 is either lowered or sagging, I don't know how to tell which. It's been this way since I got it 3 years ago, the wheels tip in at the top and snug under the lip of the fenders more than stock. I'm thinking of lifting it since the exhaust drag quite easily and the front is...

Veeduber post about hot distributors just slapped me on the face today. Not working on an aircooled VW, but the same nevertheless. Let me tell the story. My 1990 Citroen BX failed the safety inspection last week for no reverse lights. Easy fix, right? The lights come on if you wiggle the lever...

Hello all, I'm looking for a suggestion on good source for passenger side floor pan for my '74 Super Beetle. Lots of online sources but haven't seen any recomendations on which to go with.. Finally bought my project car a few weeks ago and have been reading posts here for awhile. Thanks Vince

I havea 79 vert with a small gap above the rear right window - 1/8 inch. The car is in great shape. The previous owner had a new top installed. With the understanding that this is not a beater but a show wiinner with no other problems, can the top alignment be adjusted somehow? Thanks, David

Probably not nuttier than Jan's video from Holland, but check out this video from Japan where those crazy guys over there give an unwelcome surprise for people using a porto potty. http://www.sulecki.de/Downloads/japan_port_o_potty_prank.wmv

wiper is stuck in the middle of hatch window? Any suggestions on what could be the problem.. Forgive me.... i know nothing about the mechanics...just trying to figure out what is wrong? Was thinking motor in wiper or something. Help

Can anyone tell me on a 73 auto-stick if there is suppose to be a return spring on the brake peddal . If so, where can I obtain one ? All the parts books I have dose not list it ? Thanks LeRoy Sarnia Ont., Can..

On the '65 swing axle I have replaced the rear wheel seals and had them replaced by some old salts a number of times now. Often it will stay dry for a while but inevitably starts to leak transmission oil down the back side of the tire (and around the rear drum). More and more I am suspecting...

I have a 54 bug and I am planning on having some work done on it, upon the realisation that I cant do it myself. Can these heater channels be repaired, or will they have to be replaced? http://www.apax63.dsl.pipex.com/54beetle/ I dont want to make it show winner or anything, just to be able to...

Please follow this one for a bit: Again... working on a newly acquired chopped down Beetle Dune Buggy. Not a pro job... obviously some guys in a backyard did it. It's a 70 chassis with a 69 Solex 30 PICT 2 carb on a 1600 74 motor. I previously posted that it runs a little sluggish and then the...

Hi guys, I have a 1971 1600s - nice little runner when running! At the moment starting it is a bit of a bugger. When the manual box is in neutral the starter motor screams and does not engage. Press the clutch and put into 1st with the clutch down engine starts. Any advice Cheers Bean

Hi all, I've just bought a 71> backplate for my 68 bus. Taken off the adjuster bracket to weld on the 68 bracket. I was wondering should I paint the backplate. It came in bare metal and because it gets very hot when braking and all the original ones seem not painted is it worth painting or just...

Does anyone have any experience with piston and cylinder sets made by AA Performance Products? ( aaproductsinc.com ) Any good? -- >>>Mike 1964 Sunroof Beetle 1955 Semaphore Beetle

Howdie again. I have gotten as far as removing all paint from around the heater channel to remove spot welds and the like. Now what do I do with the pipe that delivers the heat? Is there a way to reuse it? is there a way to remove it without cutting it? If I do have to cut it, where do I...
