lip? Should I leave it,...

seem to find out why. This has been going on since last July-ish. I

Engine Bay Cleaning... by
Dangermouse
I took my 65 beetle on a run with the local VW club over the weekend
which involved quite a stretch over back country gravel roads. Now my
formerly nice and clean engine bay is covered in a good layer of road
dust and grime where the dust cloud got sucked in through the vents.
I'll have to clean...

after 20 yrs in a junk yard is a little rough (not as bad as some I've

turn signal switch by
Alvin75
Hi! Now the ignition is ok, they have replaced the starter engine and the
ignition switch.
I think that something went wrong during the reassembly of the steering
wheel, though, because now the turn signal switch does not "come back" any
more. Is it difficult to fix it? Any tricks? Any scheme...

1970 Iginition Switch Help needed by
Al
I have a 1970 Beetle Convetible. On occasion, when I turn the key to
"start" it doesn't engage the starter. If I try it again, it usually
works. Any insight? I assume that I need a new starter switch. As I
look in my Bentley, I don't see enough information to know what I'm up
against.

Solved my break problem by
Mike West
Some many months ago..like this time last year! I had rebuilt my chopped 66
bug. I had an odd brake problem once I tried to drive it. It seemed as if my
brakes became more and more locked up as I drove the car. Some here
suggested that I needed to replace my rubber brake lines. That since I...

My 77' Bus sliding door likes to fall right off. I will tell you why
it happens, and maybe someone knows what I can do about it. On the
lower track where the 2 rollers glide, there is a dip in the metal
about 1" across, and when the rollers reach that area, they dip into
it and then there is enough...

Damaged Golf GTTDI by
Mark Solesbury
All,
To cut a long story short, my golf drowned today in a flood.
A VW dealer has confirmed that the engine is pretty much mullard - It
does run apparently, but it smokes badly.
Its a 2003 53 plate, in Black with 98000 on the clock. FDSH.
Is this worth anything to anyone? How bigger job is it...

This last weekend I tackled the drivers side window regulator. The only
