I'm getting a new interior for my Karmann Ghia convertible, 1969. When I look under the front hood, there is no barrier between the compartment and the back of the dash. When I look I just see everything exposed, the glove box, the empty radio compartment, and tons of wires just hanging there. ...

Anybody got any suggestions where I can get a good brake servo for a 71 kombi?

Hi RAMVA! A couple of weeks ago I had some problems with my gen light. It stayed on after starting and the belt was ok. With Jim's help I found the generator was not polarized, so, I did the procedure acording to Speedy Jim's site and everything worked just fine. The gen light went off the way it...

I pulled the breather-box-cap off my case, and I see oil that has dried up (cooked?) and turned to grease inside my case. I hope this is only above oil level, and not throughout the entire case... Are there any oil additives that will clean this stuff out? I'm thinking about moving the...

I haven't had the bug out on the road for about two months now. It's been sitting b/c I'm trying to sell it. So my brother calls me and says he's thinking about buying it. Well, this means I need to run a tune up, and drive it around to lubricate everything. Anyway, after cleaning off the...
