Hi-- My '58 Type I turns over but won't start. I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'm trying to learn; I'm surfing for answers on the 'net and scouring my two books, but until three days ago had absolutely no idea of what anything in the engine is for, what the components are called, et...

I have a 96 VW Golf and today I noticed black hair or fiber like material hanging from the tailpipe, any ideas?

Hey Guys, I hope someone can answer this question for me, others keep telling me to go to other sources and not answering my question: Has anybody bought an interior from the TMI vintage series? My bug is Bahama blue and the winsor/iris interior that was previously in it isn't made anymore and I...

WAVES* Some may remember me- some may not. Let me give you a hint. "I am so in love with my 75 super beetle Vernon" Remember? I was feeling cynical about the vw community latley and so I thought

Ok can anyone help. I bought a bug as explained before. It is a 69. The title matches the tranny, and the other VINs, but the body vins are removed and in the glove box. Their is a door sticker with a VIN. He painted over it in red, and maybe cleared. How can I safely remove this paint without...

Sorry, but I am back. This time I now have 4 VW's. The most recent is a 71 Autostick. A second stab at an autostick. It seems to run perfect, when pouring gas in the carb. I rebuilt the carb. I have a clear filter so I can if their is fuel in the line before the pump. I replaced fuel line sections....

Hello - Dissapointed with this one.. I have a 1960 Bug, converted to 12v. All new wiring, and it has an AK 1600cc.. So probably around 1971. Runs great. Never had a problem in 2 years. I put it in reverse and parked it 3 days ago. Just got a license plate to take it down the road, since it sat...

Just checking to see who all is going.. this will be my first ever attending at a VW event. http://www.sevwa.com/nvss_shootout.htm

Once again, I am baffled.. always need more help. If anyone could help me out, here is my new situation. I bought a 69 Bug, it's the one with the loose VIN tag problem. This Bug is so high off the ground, it's a beast. My 1960 has 2.5 drop spindles and the fender rides at the top of the tire. A 2.5...

Ok, haven't heard from me in awhile? I've advanced from all the DIY boring, etc. and obtained a Kwik Way boring bar and stand these days, set up for VW. I am now working on a 2332cc stroker. Here's the question, and keep in mind budget.... How would a 94mmx84mm stroker with CB044 heads, 40x35...

Hope someone is on right now.. I been working on this for 3 days, and it is getting dark. I have to pack up soon. Ok, I need some serious help. I see Jan has posted in previous questions how this is done, and also found pictures by other RAMVA members.. I can't for the life of me wire a starter on...

Hi all, I was sitting here finding parts to swap out the tranny in my 58' bug. When I realized I have the frame that my other tranny came from and since I was going to restore my frame anyways. Why not restore the other frame and put my body on it, then I would not have to modify anything to make...

Hello, My '71 Super is exhibiting strange behavior. It won't idle and there is a loud high pitched whine which sounds like it is coming from the voltage regulator. Both problems appeared when I took the car out of storage last week. I don't know that they are related but the whine it quite odd....

I have an 80 Vanagon and hope to go on a long trip. Having bought new CV joint boots I thought it time to replace them. ? When rebuilding constant velocity joints should one mark and identify parts so they all go back where they came from. This would add extra labor so is it worth it or even...

I have rebuilt C.V. joints for my 80 vanagon and in the process I tired to keep track of the individual joints, driver in, driver out, passenger in passenger out. There was some pitting in the races, but only in one direction of rotation. After assembly, keeping all parts in there old places...
