Back when I worked for the school district, they had throw-away carbon monoxide indicators that they placed in buses when drivers complained of headaches etc. A couple years back I hunted everywhere locally for one of those, but couldn't find them. I was shopping in my Aircraft Spruce catalog for a...

Hi! I'm a new user and a new owner of a 78 VW Camperbus. I can't find reverse! I thought since it has the same engine as my porsche 914 it would be to the left & down, but no luck. I can't push it by myself & my closest neighbor is a 1/4 mile away! any suggestions? (Please try to refrain from "park...

Hi RAMVA! As some of you may recall, I decided to install an early 914 gauge cluster on the bug. It's finally in and it looks great. But there are some issues that must be covered. Just as Speedy Jim suggested, the fuel gauge is designed to use the can shaped (Porsche, Ghia) sender which stays...

I'm using a Haynes manual to remove cv joints from the engine and it tells me all i have left to do is to grab the intermediate shaft and pull or to use a prybar to disconnect them the only problem is they wont budge and we bent a prybar trying to pry them lose any thoughts thanks, ndale

I'm wondering if I loosen or remove the screw shown in the following photo will allow me to adjust my Ghia convertible frame left to right. http://melsvws.4t.com/help/Page_1x.htm -- Mel 77 Revived Bug & 70 Ghia Cabriolet

When you replace your throttle cable, should you pull it finger tight and then tighten the holding nut on the carb, or leave a slight bit of slack? Mike

Man I'm tired of this. Seems most everyone is favorable of a hard start relay and I can see why. Here's my prob again on my 74 SB. The starter will not turn with the key. I've "jumped" all over this thing and the only time it will crank is with a jumper between "30" and "50" on the ignition...

I've transplanted a rock-stock DP into an early 912 Porsche while I slowly ($$) rebuild the original motor. The Porsche gearing seems a little "short" for the VW, since the 912 motor is very comfortable cruising in the 3500-4200 rpm range. Is it safe to run the VW on the fwy at a continuous...

When I was putting my bug back togather I took someones advice from here about putting the oil cooler in front of the fan intake. Well I did and the other day while I was driving around the oil temp went up over 250 deg. I have tried and the most that I can drive out of town is 10 mi's before...

Fellow bussers: What about the new gas? I'm a little worried because I don't know how old iron mixes with the new gas. I've been buying regular gas without alcohol for my '67 bus with a super beetle engine ('67 carb). I wonder if someone will comment on how it will run on the newly mandated...

My '73 Super's driver side low beam is out. It was off and on last summer. It worked when it felt like it. Some times if it was out, I could feel down to the fuse and jiggle the connection and it would work. I pulled the connection and cleaned it with sandpaper plus added some dilectric grease...

All the info I can find on the internet and google is for engine in cars that people have been driving then have problems. I have a 69 That's been sitting for 8 months. Was told it was running. I hook a battery and battery charger from my truck to it and when I crank it you can hear the starter...

Tim, I am just sharing the truth about what I'm doing and have done in "real world situations". My Sport trac does not get their rated mileage becuse I tow so I had it ordered with the 4.11 rear end gears, limited lock and the 4 wheel drive option (yes, the two wheel was standard). Remember, this...

.....workin' on the car in the driveway (for those of us without garages) and so this means it is the time for the annual Sneak's sermon. I have 2 words for everyone: JACK STANDS Not blocks of wood. Not cinderblocks. Good, sturdy 4-point jack stands. NEVER EVER just a jack. Please. To some this...

When my guy cut out the floor...what the floor bolts to crumbled....apparantly needs to be totally re-fabbed...is this a big deal? Also when unbolted the front frame brace the body shifted...he got scared and washed his hands of the entire project.....what am i to do?

Hello, All! I tried to get one at local auto store and they got wrong one. Can anyone recommend a good online place that will get it right? I have a stock 74 with generator. Thanks With best regards, dukecola. E-mail:

Hi Guys Any ideas if 1972 Superbug wheels would fit on my regular 1970 bug. They have the same four spokes, so I am guessing that they would but just thought I might double check?? Thanks Jess x

Now that I've done some research here on ow the VDO cylinder head temp gauge works I wonder if I did a bad thing. I have a 1971 Bay window bus with a sunroof and that means it has a belly pan which makes it almost impossible to run wires along the frame, so I have run all of them inside the...
