Hello there I have the Bug Me series on how to repair your VW Beetle on VHS. I've found all but one in .avi form on-line, and was curious if anyone had that one in .avi form? I basically just want to watch them off of my laptop, instead of being stuck to my VHS and television. Thanks

Hello folks! I'm the gal who was stranded in Montana with various mechanical problems while trying to drive from Florida to Washington State... I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful advice in diagnosing my 1979 beetle, as it helped me get home! Turned out that she needed a new...

Hello! There are some pats made in China that I wold like to try, but I am hesitant to use them. Are they OK to use? They look a little rough around the edges. If I used brake master cylinder made in China, I think I would replace it after 3 years.

If everyone ignored Mario, the man would go nutz and probably start flaming himself!

Last week I thought I would have time this week to do some work on the garage & shop. But nope, our farm got hit by a tornado on Sunday morning. So once again the garage & shop get put on the back burner. So I get to spend the next couple of weeks cleaning up the mess. Lots of large oak trees...

I took my 72 SB out on a run today. Ran great, until I was pulling through the hills and it started to lose power dramically. Thought maybe the coil was shorting until I saw the blue smoke out the rear. Pulled over and there was oil all over the engine compartment, especially running/dripping...

I am venting ... I do most of my own work but occasionally if I am too busy I bring it in for a professional look over and/or major work. Once we had the valves gapped and timing adjusted and the car was overheating terribly when it came back. I had to readjust the timing myself. Another time I...

Since there isn't a good place to get VW parts within 200 miles of here I've been ordering off the web. Just wondering if there are good and bad places to go. I've been using CIP1 because they take paypal, where all my money is and SoCal Auto Parts because I can't find lower priced parts. Where...

Hi All This is a 74 Bay with a 2.0L CJ engine. Last night she took me home fine. Later I tried to start it and it does nothing, just a dimming in the lights, but no starting engine and no starting noise. The Haynes manual says the battery must be low, but I charged it overnight and this morning...

When I am choosing a donor beetle for a Baja, assuming I can't find one already converted. What is the last year that they made the standard version, as I am hearing the super doesn't make a very good Baja. Thanks. Iowa883

I never thought I'd see the day. The aviation fuel I put in my Cessna is now cheaper than the gas I buy for my 1970 Bug Convertible. I'm not saying I would try it, but it is intriguing. What would happen if a person was to run his 1600 single port on 100 octane leaded aviation gasoline?

While returning from a Thanksgiving trip to North Carolina and back to Pensacola ( 10.5 hrs one way ) . I passed a purple 1968 VW Sedan on I-85 just south of Atlanta, Ga and later observed a very rat looking ( rusty and no bumpers )'69 or '70 VW bus traveling eastbound on I-65 just south of...

.....workin' on the car in the driveway (for those of us without garages) and so this means it is the time for the annual Sneak's sermon. I have 2 words for everyone: JACK STANDS Not blocks of wood. Not cinderblocks. Good, sturdy 4-point jack stands. NEVER EVER just a jack. Please. To some this...

I sent what was left of my 74 Sunbug to the bone yard. Now to get rid of the bus without a motor and get the other 74 out of storage. Always something. Hay Shag, how about a 68...
