What Is the Best Fuel Pump for Ethanol Gas? by
Jim Ed
My Beetle’s engine stalled today while I was on the highway.
First I thought it was caused by vapor lock.
I waited for it to cool off.
In an attempt to cool it off, I even squirted some yellow liquid on it
when no vehicles were coming .
Fuel was getting to the fuel pump but, it would not pump.

The most fun I've had recently by
VFW,
Getting onto the freeway on a rather tight curve I look in the rear-view
and what do I see but some monster SUV tail-gating . Well, true to the
rear engine world I enter the curve down shifting into 3rd and slowing,
as they get even closer, I punch the little 1776 cc motor and ... they
never...

WORKS OF BOB HOOVER by
Howard Jenkins
Does anyone have a copy of the "Complete works of Bob Hoover" ? I
know most of his writings are on the web, but at one time they were
offered as a CD. The book stores that carried this CD are no longer
able to supply a new copy. Please help.

71 Ghia battery cables crossed by
Steve Mc
Had it in for some body work, and the body shop crossed the battery cables.
It was actually driven a few miles with the crossed cables.
A mechanic did have to replace the voltage regulator, and possibly a few
other things.
Question: Could those crossed cables also blow the wiper motor ? It...

Rear Hubs - guess everything eventually wears out by
G_Group
I was tightening up the rear brakes of my semi-daily driver yesterday
('65 Beetle) and was disappointed to see that both sides were nice and
wet. Yep, the hubs are AGAIN leaking. I don't drive the car that
much any more but it is discouraging to have to replace the seals
every 1000 miles or so. ...

Over and done with by
P.J.Berg[_3_]
A full year until next time.
Yeah, by the way, worn out all season tires are no good in -17C..
I saw -23C in the car tonight up to my mothers for Christmas dinner, can
you say cold?
It gave slippery a whole new meaning, the yellow traction light was more
on than off.
A few pints in the Pallace...

My fund is at $1500 and climbing . I added $350 this month. But I had
to give my Bro $200 of it.

the middle of saving the Grendel Affair. Between reading half pages. Im
reading the stuff where he was repairing the bus before the trip. And...

Cold start flapper. by
DogDiesel
I'm watching the old History channel vw show. And the owner of a 50s
VWs had to run the engine in winter. For about 10 minutes . Get out, pop
the hood and close the cold start flapper. Get back in then drive on.
Anyone think a cable to the flapper with a lever would be a better idea....

'77 std. bug for sale by
Tim Rogers
This your last chance if anyone here is interested in this bug. It's
been a RAMVA car since before I bought it from Earle Horton eight
years ago and I'd like to see it go to someone who appreciates it and
can keep it on the road in its current condition. It still has a RAMVA
sticker in the back...

Vw choices by
DogDiesel
I may end up getting another clean 85-92 Golf or Jetta with a Diesel. Or
god forbid, a Diesel Vanagon. I'm being open minded about the Bug. If the
right one comes along. But less maintenance, cheap available parts.better
heat and better mileage. Might win. Even though the bug is very very...
