up until the day he parked it to begin fixing it up. Since he...

80W90 gear oil? by
hetamila
Hi,
I am trying to put my 1962 beetle back together and had a question regarding
transaxle fluid. The manual calls for 90 weight hypoid gear oil. My father
has some 80W90 in his garage, is this ok to use? It does say its hypoid.
The car has been sitting for 20 years so I think a change is due.
I...

Brakes Replacement by
hosifer
I know that the next big project for my 73 beetle is the brakes. I'm
always stopping, but I'm sure it could be a lot quieter. I notice most
screeching (now and then) from the front right. So that's where I want

my main question is:...

Hello! This is my first post so I'll try to give a little background.
Was ready to leave yesterday and checked the oil. It was at the low
mark so I added oil (and as it turned out, too much oil. Didn't

Fuel Pump Leak by

I think I may have found a reason for my fuel mileage dropping from 27
to 20. I have fuel leaking from the fuel pump "bell". Is this OK to
drive on a bit until I get a part to replace it or is it a "park it"
until fixed problem. I have no idea how long it's been like this.
I was doing a valve...
