Test dimmer relay by AshMan
How can I test the dimmer relay on my '75 Std Beetle to make sure it is working, or not? As it is, my headlights are stuck on low beam. The relay and associated switches were working just last week. There was a problem while my wife was driving. She said the headlights would not turn off. She...

Problem with JBUGS/California Pacific Part 2 by Bill S
I made an additional phone call and my problem was resolved 100%. They sent me a replacement windshield without having to examine the first one that arrived scratched up. I can't ask for better treatment, and I'll stay a loyal customer for as long as I need VW Bug and Vanagon parts. Bill S in AZ

bugpack windage pushrod tubes and the pushrod seals from hell by Scott
I'm not sure what I did wrong this time; I've rebuilt motors before using standard pushrods with no difficulty. This was my first time using these heavy-duty "windage" pushrod tubes. Every time I start to torque down the heads, one or more of the seals would get squished out into the head. I had...

I've got a recently-purchased '75 campermobile that seems just fine until it gets warmed up -- and then it loses power under acceleration. I didn't notice the problem when I first bought it but after driving it about 100 miles I first noticed the problem starting going around curves on the...

What are the options for stronger transmissions? I have a 1975 beetle with transaxle gearbox. I have a 300hp motor and after only 20 or so miles, the gearbox had enough. Hewland gearboxes are ridiculously expensive, so don't bother mentioning those. Rancho gearboxes seem a good alternative,...
