Idea about how to find TDC- Do Not Use The Pencil Method Today I attempted the pencil method of finding TDC for No. 1 cylinder. Well, the pencil broke off and now I have to remove the head to get the broken pencil and wooden chips out. But that is OK, since I was wanting to replace the push rod...

Hi RAMVA! A few days ago I posted about running out of gas while the gauge showed about half a tank. Well, It was not the gauge that was wrong, not the vibrator either. Aparently I had large pieces of debris in the tank that sometimes clogged the outlet and made the bug run out of fuel. Last...

Hi all; Is it possible to install 1965 and older front and rear fenders and hood and trunk lid on a 1972 superbeetle to give the super a 60's look? If it can be done, what work is involved. I'm planning on installing new fenders this winter when the car goes into storage and would like to give it a...

.............I was driving home when a car started tailgating me. Usually it's a SUV that does this sort of thing but today it was an Acura coupe that looked brand new(?). It probably had directional control I'm guessing. Anyway, when I started exiting onto one of those 270 degree off ramps...

Folks. I fitted a proper heated window to my 73 flat screen 1200 a couple of years ago, and routed the wires wherever they lie. I spotted in a catalogue this morning that they should disappear into the rear pillars through a grommet. I found the blanking plug for this hole. Now which way do they...

Hi there, I'm completely VW stupid. I just bought a 1969 Beetle with a 1.5L engine. This is going to be a winter project for my wife and I. She wants a bug, always has.

Aircoolies, SB 74 Sunbug. Love the mechanical nature of Bugs, which is why I need to make sure I'm prepared when it breaks down. Always wondered what the most common single point of failure is for the sunroof. I'm guessing it's the cable (I'm assuming there is one up there) that allows the pulley...

Gas is only $2.99.99 here, but I've had two inquires already about the Bug I keep covered in the driveway. These are coming from the parents of college students who aren't really quite old enough to remember that these things are not the MPG champs they seem to think they are. WTF? I've been...
