I have a hrad start relay on ym 71 VW Bug SUpper Beetle. I have it screwed on the top of the extra luggage compartment as it's has a big hole (Rusted out). I am about to have a good piece off of another car welded it. The only place with out putting a whole for the hard start relay on the top is...

I have seen a couple IRS Bugs where the shock mount and the stop mount were removed from the right trailing arm and welded back to the left and vise-a- versa so the arms and plates can be moved to the opposite side, for lowering the rear end without camber issues. Can anyone direct me to a site...

we got the bug my parents got up and running .. with only a little rough idle (still have to redo points and adjust the valves in it) .. all in all running good and the tranny works great ... but one issue .. the pad on the pedal has been worn out fairly good ... but most of the bug places we call...

I have a 79 SB with an oil drip. Yes I know "VW's mark their spots." Anyway I rebuilt the motor awhile back and it has been leaking ever since I reinstalled it. It's not the case, or the heads, or the push rod tubes. My guess is the oil cooler. It doesn't drop much oil and is more of an...

I have some light scratches in one of my windows and I was wondering if there's anything I can use to buff them out so they're less noticeable? Thanks, Dave

The rubber piece that goes on the front to keep air from going through the dash board. Should I glue it in? What kind of glue and where should I start (Sides, Near Windshield, Bottom)? Thanks Steven

Would a auto-trans from a '69 Bug fit a '72 type 3, a squareback? Happy New All! -- Money.. What a concept!

Would this be to use dropped spindles and some shorter shocks on the front, and turn the spring plates on the back? Would this give me a good ride? I am not looking to get the van right on the floor, but just to lower it around 2 inches so that it sits a little nicer, and still get a nice ride...

I just got back from Vegas where I went to view the Imperial Palace auto collection. They have some awesome VW's there, real show pieces mixed among the Rolls Royce and American Muscle cars. They have one VW (1974 super) that has only 80 original miles with the dealer sticker still on it. It...

.....Is this RAMVA or am I still lost and confused? ....Seriously.....RoadRunner pulled the plug on their news-server here in upstate NY almost a month ago and I'm just now reaching a level of desperation that has made register as a google groups groupie to get back on here. Has anyone else around...

I drove my 71 Super Auto-stick to my friends house (8 Miles) then back and then back to his house and out to the ladies house I bought the car from. She wasn't home so we drove thru Macdonalds and then back to his house and then I drove home. The car did really well. No more shaking since I got...

I have the following OEM VW parts catalogs for sale on microfiche. I also have the OEM VW CD ROM that covers all 1948 to 2002 VW (and Audi as sold in the US too) models. This is the same CD the dealer's parts counter uses. Drop me a line with any interest. Thanks,...

Volks, Here is where i stand. My beetle has a short somewhere.......if i leave it parked for more than a day my battery is dead. I had the battery tested, new alternator as well, and the problem is still there. Today I am trying to tackle it. This is a 74 standard beetle. Today I began...

Hey you guys, I found in a bargain bin a 009 with an electronic module in it. It looks like a version of "Hot Spark" that I've seen for sale all over ebay and samba. The dizzer was locked up until I removed a washer rattling around in the guts. the module is all intact from what pictures i...

I would like to have a pre 68 VW pickup, either single or double cab. I'm located in the Northeast, but travel alot and can arrange transportation. I'm flexible on price, based on condition, and have LOTS of stuff that can be used as trade barter for the right car. Anq cars, convertibles, Airstream...

I will not hide my opinion: USE ONE. There is some interesting fresh discussion on this topic on the shoptalkforums website: http://www.shoptalkforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=106470 I humbly ask you to read my reply from today (Dec.29) to understand how widely it effects the way your engine...

I have a 71 standard type1. 1600 dual port. 34PICT3 carb. I read somewhere that if the ERG valve is disconnected, you should disconnect the retard side of the dizzy (on a dual vacuum) leave it open on the biscuit and plug the inlet where it connects to the carb. Something about damaging the...

on my 70 bug ... i am replacing the harness (have a 'stock' replacement harness in a box ready to go in) ... while i am doing this i am considering replacing the old fuse box with one that takes moden blade style fuses ... are there any companies that make one for just this? or am i to use just a...
