Hi Folks, I have recently purchase a 69 VW beetle for my wife (candy apple red - her toy car) The vehicle was running fine until the battery died. I just charged it up, and it looks to be fine (headlights turn on, horn works, etc). However the engine won't turn over. I don't have a repair manual...

OMG!! I was just contacted by a guy in Finland, someone told him I once owned his newly bought 67 beetle... true enough! He wanted engine specs. My Frannie is alive! And WELL! Being restored right now!! Sadly, he painted it with a different color, but still.. the old girl is getting a new...

Can anyone help me out to find a hose schematic diagram to the transmission vacuum solenoid switch as well as to the carburetor on a 73 Super. auto stick? I didn,t see anything on the auto stick web site.

Is there any difference in a Auto Stick carb. and a standard shift carb.?

My 1974 super is having problems where the car starts and runs just fine but none of my accessories work. I sometimes works if I jiggle the key in the ignition. Would this be caused by a bad ignition switch? Accessories include headlights, radio, windshield wipers, fresh air defrost and rear window...

what a great show today. There was alot of VWs there today, could have been near 200. I haven't seen a turn out like this in many years. Very nice weather. And yes another one of the VW's I did won. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2238467680101866121VcZyXF couldn't have asked for a better...

I installed a factory new engine and replaced all electrical, ignition and fuel distribution system components this Dec.-Jan. Never reeally got everything running right, but acceptable at times. The engine sounded "restrained" if that's a proper way to describe it, and it had major hesitations in...

I was just reading Ken's Buggy Barn web site in preparation of doing a tune-up on my VW. I have a 1600 CC type 1 engine with a 009 distributor. I have a couple of questions for my clarity of your instructions. Ken, or anyone else who can answer, I take it that the 32 degrees calculation you did...

Just curious if anyone else has run across this problem before.. My son's bus was recently overhauled and it ran great for the past six months but now whenever you step on the throttle it doesn't respond at higher rpms. It idles fine and responds to quick throttle inputs while sitting in...

Has this group almost died or is everyone busy with something else?

Does anyone have any pictures or diagrams of something good for setting the body of my super beetle on. I was going to just build a square frame out of wood and put some casters on it, but the drivers side rocker is shot and I'm not sure how well it would set on there, and I'll need to get at the...

A great story as originally told by Mr. Bob Hoover He came down the back drive just before midnight on Christmas Eve. I was out in the shop, about to call it a night when I heard the unmistakable sound of a Volkswagen running on three cylinders. Bad valve. It was an early model high-roof...
