What's the secret to transferring fluid from the bottle to the transmission without turning myself into an environmental hazard? Muir says to have the local garage do it, Bentley says to have the dealer do it. They wisely suggest to only drain the transmission "if you are properly equipped...

Dennis, could you please p-mail me. I have a couple questions to ask ya, and couldn't seem to get your web tv addy to go through. Thanks a lot, Gary ( )

GLJ is finally back from repair, looking as good as new the wing is a repro from VW Heritage (UK)... but a very good one, the fit and quality is spot on. I tried to get a NOS one, but it was almost impossible, and far too expensive (over UK£900 for a pair) the front quarter was carefully panel...

I'm having some problems on a 74 Super that we purchased a few months back. The brake pedal drops down quite far before any braking action happens. So far I've adjusted the brakes, and bled the brakes. This seemed to help a little bit, but still having the problem. Also when I tried bleeding the...

Hey all, I'm guessing there's going to be loads of stuff on this group already, but I'm lookignt o get a transporter style camper van, so could you all list the dos and donts and what to look out for, or point me to such a list. many thanks Lee

I'm working on the rust beneath/behind the rear side windows of my 73 Super Beetle. There are 8-10 spots on each side of the car that are rusted through and range in size from 1/8" to about 1". I have cleaned all that out. Behind is some kind of foam that I'm assuming has wicked some...

Ok, let me try to explain this. With the headlights off, the left turn signal works fine both front and back. The flasher sounds normal and the signal indicator on the dash works fine. The right turn signal works front and back for one flash and than the front signal light gets weaker but continues...

I have a 67 VW bug that has been sitting for a couple of years. I am now trying to move it but it feels as though the brakes are stuck. The emergency brake is off and the clutch is pushed to the floor but it still doesn't move when pushed. Any ideas? Thanks

Maybe this has been mentioned before but... I needed a part. It was unavailable/no longer made. Checked aircooled.net, mamotorworks, etc. Rebuilt part available from big internet VW site. Bought it. Didn't work right. So on a whim I typed the bosch part number into Google. Up popped a...

http://home.earthlink.net/~73_ghia/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/Ghiagirls.jpg anyone know where to find one of these? (the nose bade that is :) -- Confused Guy - "is that a Volvo?" Me - "no, it's a Karmann Ghia" Confused Guy - <looking confused> "Oh. Well, it's a nice one"

I have a 74 standard beetle in need of a home. I'm in Northern Illinois between Chicago and Rockford. The car was my project a couple of years ago. Everything is new of fixed. I had the body off the frame. All rusted areas had new metal welded installed. I can provide a detailed list for anyone...

I have a 68' Westy and the front doors don't lign up evenly around the frame.....looks crappy. They do close and latch, but kind of bump into the latches instead of tansitioning smoothly into the latches. The hinges and latches appear tight and the doors do not move if you lift up on them when...

Hi, I found a pretty good '67 VW and need new tires. It has 5.60X15 now. I see about three common sizes of radials: 165X15, 155X15, and 145X15. Which is closest to my tire size? I like the original look of the 5.60s and don't want tires which look too big (diameter and/or section) but can't afford...

My 77 'vert was getting sluggish, so I adjusted valves, changed the oil & tuned it up to factory specs, but still sluggish. VW and Bentley both say the timing should be set at 5 degrees ATDC. I decided to experiment a bit, and set it at about 2 1/2 ATDC. What a difference! Much peppier, and does...

Shameless, blatant plug for an ebay auction. 1971 Ghia coupe. Fun car, hate to see it go, but cars come and go. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4564378440 - Austin

Hi all I subscribed to that new magazine "The German Addiction" in May but have not seen any issue yet. (looks like there should have been at least one since then) Does anyone else have experience with how long it takes between subscribing and actually getting issues? tia

Hi! Let me introduce myself first. My name is Bob and I live in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I decided to purchase a 68 VW Bug last summer which was in great shape (restored) and just needed small tweaks here and there. I am not a show car type of person...I just like to bomb around in it March...

Can anybody help? I have a five pin relay that appears to be bad (shake & sounds like a broken light bulb), signals don't work, flashers don't work. Checked bulbs - OK. THe part I took off the back of the fuse box in slot #3 per the owner's manual is a 5 pin relay HELLA 002684-03 or VW 111 955...
