I have a really great 68 bug, I'm the third owner and it is in great condition. All it really needs is paint, rubber and running boards to get it looking like it's original condition. I have the original owners manuals, including the AM transistor Radio manual. I recently put a 1600cc rebuilt...

Can someone give me the max diameter/ max wear specs for a 1968 Type II rear drum? I have the brakes apart right now and can't locate my manual :(. Thanks -- Chris

Hi all, Have started to take a look at my washer bottle in my '68 1500 Type 1 (UK). (type where you pump up the bottle direct) I seem to have mislaid (if I ever had it) the fill cap. I have all the other connections, but can't test the assembly without the fill cap (I presume).

Hi, I have a 1969 Beetle that is having fuel gauge problems. It seems that both the gauge and the sending unit burnt out. I've replaced both of them and the fuel gauge now registers, however it registers full until the tank is almost empty. The replacement gauge was manufactured by VDO (fits inside...

I can't figure out why some of my gauges don't work. I know my clock, temp, cylinder head temp are connected to power but they remain still when the power is on. I would think that the clock would work but even that is dead looking. RPM, speedometer, oil pressure work and share the same fuze. Any...

I bought it in the fall of 2002. I've been sick and I need to pay some bills. Here's a picture of it from then: http://members.cox.net/ranny9/ Since then, one headlight ring and the bumpers have rusted and it needs a new paint job, but I just put $2800 into it, getting the heater channels...

Hi, At the base of both carbies (immediately above inlet manifold)there is a small bimetallic strip that opens a vent with a temp increase. Any idea on what they do, how to check calibration?. Never seen one on any other carby/vw. Cheers John

I am prepping my car for paint and want to remove the handles and can't figure out how. Any input would be great. Thanks

I just bought a 1970 FastBack and I intend on restoring it. I was wondering if anyone can give me a source for fastback parts near San Diego California? I am going to need to buy a lot of stuff. The pan is rotted between the front passenger seat and the rear seat. So I will need a replacement...

I have a 1970 VW fastback for sale. I originally paid $1,300.00 for it. I drove it to my driveway a year ago and I have never started, nor moved it. My wife says it must go. I have new upholstery parts, new body parts, and the car has all glass intact. I don't think it will start, the motor leaks...

I have a 1970 Beetle Convetible. On occasion, when I turn the key to "start" it doesn't engage the starter. If I try it again, it usually works. Any insight? I assume that I need a new starter switch. As I look in my Bentley, I don't see enough information to know what I'm up against. Any...

I bought it a while ago (on ebay) and did not realize the amount of rust.... and it's just not going to make it. It sucks, but i have to face the fact that it's just rotting away. I also don't have time right now to mess with it. Before i bought it, it appears to have spent a good 15+ years under a...
