talks of in her post to Scott H, and I would like an update on the status

BugMe videos? by
OldIron
Hello there
I have the Bug Me series on how to repair your VW Beetle on VHS.
I've found all but one in .avi form on-line, and was curious if anyone
had that one in .avi form?
I basically just want to watch them off of my laptop, instead of being
stuck to my VHS and television.
Thanks

Tire Pressure by
Lynn Martin
I just got some new Kuhmo Tires, 165/80/15, (great deals for $26 a piece on
the net!) for my 1974 Superbeetle.
Anyhow, I am going to get them mounted/etc. The "recommended tire
pressure" listed on the glove compartment door says Front - 18 psi and Rear
29 psi. This seems too low to me,...

How Often Do You Replace the Rubber Fuel Hose? by
Jim Ed
I used to replace mine every 3 years.
At vw-resource.com he recommends replacing it every 5 years.
http://www.vw-resource.com/fuel_line.html
It's always a good precaution to replace all four sections of
rubber line about every five years.

No Oil Filter??? by
Chuck Townsley
I am sure this has been discussed at nausea in the past, but being a
new member to the joy of VW ownership club (or is that joy of repair
club?), I am not aware of these discussions.
My question is simple. I have 1600cc engine and it has not oil
filter. It has a screen filter at the bottom of...

Beetle/bug Pickup project by
tricky[_2_]
Hi all
for a while now, I have been toying with the idea of making a beetle
pickup for me to use for work.
It would be more or less a 'standard' pickup design, but with a roof
rack capable of carrying full 8x4 sheets .
It will probably take me a year (or more) to complete.

VW powered generator by

HVX MODS on big-bore strokers by
Bob Hoover[_2_]
To All:
Oil for the right-hand half of the crankcase arrives there via the
channel behind the #2 cam bearing. When building a high-reliability
engine a standard procedure is to increase the cross-sectional area of
that narrow channel.
While this improves things, the amount of oil that can reach...
