Always preferred to use monograde oil( for no overwhelming reason) for the T3 but its as rare as the proverbial in Aust. Was over at the local Hardware shop and noticed Briggs and Stratton have on the market Monograde 30 SAE high detergency oil for "aircooled 4 stroke motors"! Obviously...

Going to replace the windcreen rubber on the squareback. Don,t have any problems with the process having done quite a few other windows before. Except, for the soft aluminium trim. Anyone know whether I should fit the trim last, after window has been refitted or fit rubber to window,then the...

Recently I asked Penrite about oils and how quite a few VW owners in Aust use Diesel Oil for their AC VW,s. What surprised me is they took some effort for a long reply and also in particular I thoughts comments re Diesel Oil interesting. As an aside I dropped into the the hardware store again...

Replaced my boots November of 2012. Just noticed that one is already split at the top. I know I didn't buy bargain-basement. Wish I could remember where I bought 'em! Can anyone recommend who sells boots that last?

Hi all, I have a 1600 with some bad oil leaks around the studs which hold the sump plate to the bottom of the block. Some of them are quite loose and easily come out with only finger pressure, so I'm thinking I may have to drill/tap the holes out and get stepped studs, hopefully tightening...

Are the struts, especially the front ones, the same for the 8V vs. the 16V Scirocco, 1987? I had some work done on the car a few years ago and the guy doing the work cautioned that a lot of things in the 16V are not the same as the 8V because of the weight and positioning of the 16V engine. It...

Where is the vin number located on a 1963 cw bug?

Oh and "isn't it ironic" (had to say this since I was just staying next to Alanis Morissette) I also see a thread that states a restoration will cost around $17k. And I still don't hear of any show VW's comming out of burington where I know there are more vw's then anywhere else I've seen on the...

Near Arcata. I found a rusty bug. Anyone need some parts. Cheap! 707 839 4690 by george! -- Karma ; what a concept!

Well I tried retirement and after a few years just felt bored so I got in to helping finish a multi 6 figure restoration this summer. Guess when its in the blood you can't stop. I'm sure you have to know being that the person spent that much it wasn't a VW. I'm waiting for the magazine that it will...

... Distributor rotors, without 12,000 ohms resistance 1) The original Bosch rotors, as recommended by VW, I believe had 12,000 ohms, or was it 6,000 ohms of resistance across the contacts... that being from the centre, out to the tip. 2) What I am finding these days (probably from China)...

I look at a few other similar sites to Ramva and its so common to hear someone comment that their "official" Service Manager just says "Yeh, their all like that" in response to some fault and shows them the door. Makes me laugh when after 20 years of having the sticky seatbelt catch on my...

I have a strange issue. It seems that a pin on my fuel pump is working its way out. The pin I'm talking about is at the end of the arrow in this pictu https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5_tB418I87zALYODiVu0O_pGl5mgnfRRRLSlH1LY_Hw?feat=directlink (but, instead, mine is sticking way out. Maybe...

You will need a 17mm allan wrench. On the steering box (access behind spear tire) loosen large nut and turn 17mm bolt untill the steering feels tight, re tighten nut.
