This year there will be no Octobug Show at the Puyalup Fair in so the VW community will be putting on another show at Titlow Park in Tacoma. It is open for both AIR and H20. Below is a link to more information about the show if anyone would like to...

To Whom it may concern, I am thinking about adding another ACVW to my stable. I have seen an ad for a 1971 Squareback and I was wondering what I should look for when I inspect the car. They only want $1,800.00 for it, that sounds like a deal. It is described as, "running, in good condition". The...

I have a 1973 standard beetle that I just purchased. It has front discs from Aircooled.net. Every so often the brake pedal will go all the way to the floor before any effect is noticed. Once I let off and press it again it will be fine. This only happens occasionally but it is unnerving when it...

Anyone ever used this stuff? http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1414932 I thought about buying some but the two big-name stores that sell it online, JC Whitney & Ace Hardware, no longer carry it (in spite of the above-posted link). Makes me wonder if it quickly failed the test...

Hello - I am building a 3-wheeled vehical based on a 914 front suspension and a Honda Magna motorcycle (2 wheels in front, 1 in the rear). Right now, I am in the process of building the frame. Could somebody do me a favor? I need 2 measurements. One is the distance between struts at the very top...

Hi all, I'm headed home this weekend and was hoping you all could help me with a parts list since all my manuals are at home. I've got a junk 40hp engine that I'd like to remove the flywheel from and fit to a slightly less tired 1500 engine so I can put it in a 6v car without any other mods. It's...

Hi All I have started renovation of My Beetle1303 Convertible. I need undercarriage dimensions. Mybe someone could help me. Where can I find it??? Please help. Very urgent. Best regards Bartek (Black 1303 Convertible sooooon)

Hey guys, finally solved my problem with the lack of power. At first everything pointed to the fueldelivery/cloged jets. If not that the problem started after warming up the engine. So that was probably more likely to be an valve issue. Re-adjusted the valves at 0.15mm and took her for a spin....

Hey guys thanks for the help with my other questions, now i have a couple more for ya. On my '73 super, how do you work the heater and def. all that fun stuff. If i had a manuel i would just read up on that but i dont. What does the two knobs do when you turn them, or is there three lol sorry i...

According to the discovery channel web site, the ACVW monstergarage build is being shown on Oct 3 and 4, 9pm. The initial date was to be in August, then the latter part of September so it has shifted one more time. Apprarently, they are making a racer out of a 51 split ragtop - should be cool.

VW has introduced a new automobile. Unfortunately Bill Gates and Warren Buffet (and possibly Jimmy Buffet) are going to be the only ones that can afford it. Wonder if they should have stuck to making Golfs or whatever it is they make now. Article...

I know it's possible to fit a Porsche 911 motor into a camper, as I have seen it done before. But how easy a job is it? Do you have to change the gearbox and suspension setup aswell? And would a turbo motor fit in there? I know it aint going to be cheap, but it would be a lot of fun!

On my 74 Super... The motor is back in and starter won't turn. I can bump start the car and run it, turn the ignition off, turn it to start again and it will crank and start. I can do this over and over until I let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then it won't crank again. Just a bad contact? Bad...

On the internet over the years, we have seen just about everything. Remember when flash was new and impressive. People are hard to impress today. Check out the site at this link. I was impressed by this guys web work although not related to VWs. http://www.leoburnett.ca/

Just got a new Bosch horn for my 1973 super beetle. However, the terminals aren't marked, and I can't remember how the horn was previously set up. Anyone know which wire to stick where? Does it matter? Thanks!

I was planning on taking my 68' bug out of town tomorrow, and so I laid down a couple bucks and had new tires put on it (standard 165R15). Sears did the job for me getting the tires within a day and a half, yet putting my on hold about three hours before starting to put them on the car. You can't...

My son just bought a '67 Bug, and the seller couldn't open the bonnet. He said it would take two people to open it as the cable or locking mechanism was not adjusted properly. One person was to pull the knob on the dash while another lifted on the bonnet handle. The seller pulled on the knob until...

Greetings, All: First, thanks to all those who helped out on the last bus project, especially Bob, who never fails to crack me up, and to remind me of my Great-Grandpa Sutton, who used to build Sprint cars and other racecars in Indianapolis in the 50's and 60's. I wound up having a shop...

on the carb it says 34pic, but the engine number starts with AH. what could this mean? -- Message posted via CarKB.com http://www.carkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/vw-air-cooled/200509/1

My 77 Bug has stock FI, which I've kept going pretty well. I haven't done anything to it for a while so I probably forgot some of the more obvious fixes. Is there any site out there to help troubleshoot or should I go through the whole procedure in the Bentley book? -- Mel 77 Revived Bug & 70...
