I have a problem. I see everyday some oil leak deom the wire connected to the bottom part of the engine, just below the vacuum pump. It leaks very slowly and I want to know, what should I use to stop it ? As the area is just next to engine and it should withstand the high temp. I would...

Hi, Just bought a temp gauge for my '70 1300 bug and I was wondering: What is the normal temperature riding at 90 km/h in a highway for an hour? Beginning what temperature should I start to worry, want at what temperature should I just pull over. Thanks MM

I'm tring to rebuild a 1964 40hp engine and was doing good till I tried installing the Mahle 83mm pistons. The bottom of the pistons hit a small area inside the case. So before I shave a little off the bottom of the piston is this the way to go? Thanks Mario Vintage Werks Resto.

just finished getting 3 more in primer a 73 super that came from another shop, Had to fix all the body work. you can see how they left the heater channels. the other was a nice 72 super that started as a total re-wire job that turned into a full resto. The 67 is to become a Herbie look alike. all...

came across this while browsing porsches on samba http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=324685

check it out on Craigslist. Free, it's in Arcata, at the Creamery. It' is rough but has a motor and an automatic trans.

I got 2 of them. AE 668445 is a good one with no cracks with 10 mm studs. The other one, AE 282650, is probably a boat anchor. I was told that the 2nd engine came from an older lady who drove up, and said it was "making a knocking noise". She had disintegrated #2 rod into pieces, and was still...

Just a question, what are the advantages/disadvantages of a single port 1600 VS a dual port 1600? I have both and want to decide what to build up, has to go into a split bus. Bart Bervoets

Looking for details on how to convert a Bug to a front engine drive. I am interested in developing a hybrid with the following powertrain. Engine>lockable freewheel>armature shaft>clutch>transmission>diff Advantages: Motor power engine stopped.

I know nobody likes to answer these questions as their a tons of variables to consider such as: How often oil is changed, oil quality, engine temp, thrashing the engine, blah blah. But I have heard that the long block usually lasts about 60,000 miles. How long can you expect a well looked after...

Hello, All! My daughter is away at college and she's in a small town with no VW dealers nearby. He gearshift wont come out of park. I'm assuming it's the safety switch. Any idea where this is located and how hard it is to swap out? I may just mail her one and talk her friend thru the...

I have no Uph. experience, however very Mech inclined. are they difficult, I'll buy the tools, providing I'm able to do the job. Are the kits for front and back sets like some of the tins you can get for the motors, adjusting here adjusting there, to make the damn thing work. Rick

Got my bug back from being fixed. It was HARD to get myself to pay someone to fix it for me, but the lifting involved in the necessary repairs made it a bad idea for me to do now. Jenny not only has a smooth ride now, but she accelerates and shifts like new! Much quieter too! Also PASSED...
