Engine Bay Cleaning... by Dangermouse
I took my 65 beetle on a run with the local VW club over the weekend which involved quite a stretch over back country gravel roads. Now my formerly nice and clean engine bay is covered in a good layer of road dust and grime where the dust cloud got sucked in through the vents. I'll have to clean...

turn signal switch by Alvin75
Hi! Now the ignition is ok, they have replaced the starter engine and the ignition switch. I think that something went wrong during the reassembly of the steering wheel, though, because now the turn signal switch does not "come back" any more. Is it difficult to fix it? Any tricks? Any scheme...

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...

Solved my break problem by Mike West
Some many months ago..like this time last year! I had rebuilt my chopped 66 bug. I had an odd brake problem once I tried to drive it. It seemed as if my brakes became more and more locked up as I drove the car. Some here suggested that I needed to replace my rubber brake lines. That since I...

77' Westy sliding door problems by thunderbird666
My 77' Bus sliding door likes to fall right off. I will tell you why it happens, and maybe someone knows what I can do about it. On the lower track where the 2 rollers glide, there is a dip in the metal about 1" across, and when the rollers reach that area, they dip into it and then there is enough...

Damaged Golf GTTDI by Mark Solesbury
All, To cut a long story short, my golf drowned today in a flood. A VW dealer has confirmed that the engine is pretty much mullard - It does run apparently, but it smokes badly. Its a 2003 53 plate, in Black with 98000 on the clock. FDSH. Is this worth anything to anyone? How bigger job is it...
