Just finished a rather expensive rebuild on an 81 westfalia 2 litre aircooled engine.... Girlfriend stuffed it in 1st at 50kph.... ugh..... Anyways fully rebuilt back in the bay and it runs, but the second you try to push the accelerator down it dies. Checked and replaced all vacuum hoses, checked...

I have the 2 round pieces of glass that fit in the corners on the back on some (brazil, mexican?) kombis. They are the ones that bend around the corners. I suspect those to be a hard to get item, so if anyone would want those, drop me a mail with offer. I have the other glass as well (this was a...

Hey guys, I happened to come across this cool site that sells vw watches, these guys have some awesome split window bus stuff, they are really into the early buses and are vw guys. They have almost everything in watches and because they are vw guys have some cool thing,dunebuggy and bus and bug...

I have a dual port 1600 on my beetle, and I want to use the stock 34PICT carb with an alternator. Does anyone know where I can get the offset or shim adapter plate for these? I've seen them before, but all anyone seems to have now is the one to convert a 30PICT to dual port manifold. I think some...

Long time lurker, first time poster... I've got a '69 Transporter, originally imported into Central America. In trying to sort out some wiring problems, I've discovered that the wiring runs in this bus are different than the ones shown on the wiring diagram in Bentley. I'm assuming that the...

I have recently noticed that on my 1992 GTi when i turn in either direction i get a distinct wheering noise it is quite irratating and was wondering if anyone had suggestions about what it could be. Thank You Kevin

I have: '62 RHD Beetle, stock 40 HP. Simply underpowered in this killer freeway world. Actually a little dangerous-! I want: a commuter that can cruise a bit faster, maybe an occasional burst to 70 mph. Disk brakes on front and dual master cylinder. Stock looking exhaust. 12 volt. I...

I'm thinking of doing some experimenting with completely electronic controls - even the valves - and while I'm at it, going propane for long life. Can't do fully electronic control with a carb, though, so I'm wondering if FI is compatible with LPG. Unless I'm wrong about the need for FI - maybe...

As soon as I finsihed the front brakes and install the Master Cylinder I am putting the gas tank back in. The one I have is a little rust but it may ok. Shoud I go with a new Gas Tank? And if so who has the best tnak for the $$$? Thanks Steven

I finally removed the 2 Top Star Adjusters. Had to remove the metal piece that locks them in place (On the side). DO I need to replace this part when putting my new Star Adjusters in? Form doing a goole search it seems no but want to make sure? Not comes the part of putting everything back...

You probably don't see any where you are, but here in the USA, 79 Calif-80/83.5 Calif Vanagons all came with electronic ignition on the 2.0's. Bolt in swap on a 1600..... "Bart Bervoets" > wrote in message ... > Can it be done? > A local...

I have 1973 1700cc engine in my bus the carbs have problems. Missing solenoids, stripped screw holes, etc. I have an intake manifold + carb from a 1600cc 1971 bus. I know that it is in fine working order. Can I put this single carb into the 73?

Hi all. Been a while since I've been here, mainly in lurk mode when I was. I've been offered a 74 Sun Bug (not a super )for $600. Trouble is I don't know what these things are worth anymore. I sold my last project car, a 74 KG 5 years ago because of back and shoulder problems, so I would be buying...

well done on that huge lot you just bought from ebay !!! I was going to bid, but it went passed what I wanted to pay. At least I know where I can ask to get some spares now ;-) How on earth are you going to get it home !!!! Rich

Ladies/Gents, With the cold weather coming, I thought it would be a good idea to get that rear defogger working on my 72 SB. After a quick search of this group, I was able to determine that all is in working order. The switch is good, the fuse is fine, the relay seems to work just fine and the...
