Bussy is a 1979 model bus and I am the 3rd owner. He "grew up" in the dry easter part of Washington but has lived on the "wet side" (except this year!) since I bought him back in '91. Any way you cut it, the bus is over 25 years old. Anything can and does go wrong from time to time. I have...

Well, after 2 years of excuses it's time to pull all the spagetti from behind the speedo of my '69 bug and install the new wiring harness. I plan to carefully pull and document where all the old wiring was. I plan to take lots of digital photos and run the new lines as the old ones are removed. Is...

Does anyone have a diagram or picture of an assembled Z bar on a 67 or 68 beetle? I have a package of new rubbers and sliders on the floor and two naked bars on the car with no idea how to proceed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Scott

Just had my safety inspection and it did not pass. I need to get the rear wheel cylinder replaced I guess - doh! Shortly after though, my generator light has come on. Could something have happened at the shop? I called them back and they said the emissions test was all done by computer so they...

I have a '79 fuel injected beetle that only likes to start when it has cooled down. also after it warms (heats?) up it's idle speed is higher. any thoughts? thanks!!

I'm also a cyclist, who rides a road bike, not often but there are times I need to transport a bicycle in my beetle. Currently I'm taking off both front and rear wheels and transporting the bike in the rear seat. Suggestions on how others are transporting a bike. thanks, -tom

Any news on this magazine? Their website is pretty vague, and after the demise of VWT (still waiting for my refund), I'm very leary of subscribing to anything else. Weren't they offering a "free issue" a few months back? If so, with the March issue being their premiere issue, it should be out...

Greetings, If anyone has or knows of a contact for a Bosch Hard Start Relay Kit, please email me. Please also list price and condition. thanks, -tom

I recently replaced my generator (12v) in my 61 bug with a 55amp Motorola alternator (12v). Since doing so I think my coil is quite warm. I never really noticed it being so hot before. I this because of the alternator swap and should I upgrade the coil as well? Thanks

My wife's '74 Super has a problem with the passenger door hinge. It binds and makes it hard to close the door. I've had the door completely off the car and attempted to drive out the pin with no luck. One of the hinges is just plain hard to move. I've managed to get some lubricants down...

I plan on welding in some floor patches to get my car through the VA inspection (restore properly later). My question is do I have to drain the fuel tank before I weld onto the floor? I know that a fire extinguisher is necessary when welding, but I was asked about fire hazard to the fuel...

Are there ,Is there? a good shop in Houston Texas that can work on my Air Cooled VW Bug? I need to swap the body from one pan to another reconditioned one. I would do it myself but can not round up enough "friends" to help me do it. Thanks, Mike 66 chopped bug

Another question in regards to the 6v. I have a intermittent starting problem. When I turn the key, sometimes the two indicator lights come on, but the engine won't start, just hear a click sound. I'll have to turn the key to the left (counterclockwise) shutting it off and try to start it again,...

I've got another situation with my '75 bus that is buggin' me. When I am intending to start it and I slide the key into the ignition and turn it, nothing happens until it sort of goes 'beyond' the 'start' position. In other words .. I turn it to 'on' ... then I have to turn it REALLY HARD...
