After suffering a slight overheat on my nearside front caliper, the RAC guy who came out managed to twist the piston in the bore and it is now seized beyond use / repair. Has anyone got a nearside caliper solid disc etc for a 1981 camper? This truck is also my daily driver and I really dont...

Woohoo! :D

Just wanted to drop in and say hi... I know a few of you are still out there from a long time ago. I checked and it's been right at 10 years since I used RAMVA, so thought I was long overdue for a hello! ~Lauren aka VWGirl

Does anybody know how to wire a basic flasher relay from scratch?

Nettimaailma on siitä lystikäs kiulu, että jostain kumman syystä sinne kirjoitelleille muodostuu illuusio siitä,että ikäänkuin identtiteetti olisi täällä jollain mystisellä tasvalla suojassa.

What you don't understand is that not all Europeans feel the way you do and a majority of Americans Don't care how you feel.

.. . . and sometimes she doesn't. In this case, she was in a good mood. Re-charged the old e-can with new activated charcoal, re-mounted it with new hoses. No problem, I now have the Wonderbus back to its original 1971 CA emissions setup. Hardly a job worth bragging about, but for me, anything...

Suppose you have an air-cooled VW engine with transmission attached to it and the half-shafts are in place and the wheels are attached and no fluids have been drained... Now you have this combination sitting on the floor of your garage but it's taking up a little more room than you'd like it to. ...

this one's probably basic...got a 67 bug that won't start, doesn't try turning over at all. battery is showing 13.4 volts, lights go on, but no cranking at all. red light is on, but not the green/yellow one. i have a kill switch on this, not sure how it works, but when it's off the car will...

If you don't own a thirty year old plus automobile it's sort of hard understanding how much a pain in the ass it is to keep it running, especially if you're not a rich dude who can plunk down money to get an old car restored like it ain't no thing. I bought my car ten years ago about and put a new...

I'm trying to get the axle nut off of my '73 Bug (IRS) without the help of an impact gun. I've used Muir's idea of a breaker bar with a 1" x 3' pipe cheater, but have only manged to torque off the socket nub on two bars. I've poured Liquid Wrench on the nut, I've heated it up with a torch, I've...

Spotted a couple of bugs out in 2 different pastures this past week or so. Look to me a 74 and the other is a late 66, maybe 67. Pretty sad shape from what I can tell but I'll bet they are "show winners". I'll have to track down the owners and find out the scoop, etc. Randy

The bumpers of my 62' beetle are pitted and rough in places. I don't want to spend the $ to re-chrome. Does anyone know of a way to smooth the pits and 'fill in' with something shiny that looks decent?

Hi all Just got a 72 regular beetle and am evaluating what needs to be done. It will need floors, heater channels and one of the door post bottoms will need to be reconstructed. The engine/tranny is in very good shape. Along the tunnel a lip exists that one normally welds the floor pans to. On...

specific endplay question.... Hello, I'm a stupid kid who is now a little older and I have pulled my 18 year old project car out and I want to get it running for my 30 year old butt to drive. I always wanted the vw for fun and to learn about something I know nothing about: cars. So here is the...
