My 2004 Jetta GLI (1.8T) came with Goodyear Eagle F1 225/40Z R18 92Y tires, which, are really good driving tires but at 30K miles 2 of them need to be replaced. My quote for 4 tires mounted, balanced, and aligned is $1000! I don't really want to spend $1000 every 18 months on tires so if anyone...

does anyone know where I can find a good diagram of dual carb linkage for a 72 type 4 bus so I know what parts I dont have? Please email me links or respond to the NG to any site that may have the diagram I need. Thanks Steve

they made changes, I switched the whole front end and the hose going to the servo was larger, took a little diameter fitting. and the inlet to the master cyclinder reservoir was moved 90º better to switch reservoirs. and it seemed they changed the "regulator" behind the master cyclinder. again a...

My 1968 VW bug is suppose to go through a state test...I bought it out in California. Any advice as to what I should adjust to ensure that it passes the test????? Thanks!

My friend has moved out of town & says to sell the three Beetles he left here. Thre are two supers - one flat window & one curved, & one reg. Beetle. The reg Beetle is pretty rusty; borderline to restore. All three cars are *full* of parts both new & used. I need a few parts out of them, but...

I was wondering if anyone could help me with a problem I discovered when I returned home from vacation last night!!! The passenger's side of my 95 VW Cabrio was FLOODED. there was a good 4-5 inches of water on the floor in the front and back on the passenger's side only. The seats were completely...

All, Thanks for all the help recently, I have gleaned enuf info to make my head hurt. (70 bug). Had to replace my starter today. Found out that the folks at autozone have just revamped their POS database. Interestingly enuf, the starters and solenoid are going for 39 bucks. So, if anyone...

I have access to a set of type 3 rear brakes. I know that they will fit onto the rear of a bug, but will I also need the stub axle (I think that is what it is called)? What else should I grab off of the type 3? thanks

My VW distributor has a strange rotor, and I'm looking for the correct replacement tune up parts. (It is not the original unit that came with the car.) The rotor, instead of being rectangular when looking from above like the majority of VW rotors, is mostly round, about 3/4" diameter, with...

Hello, Just an FYI. Squid started in CA and was a combination of "Squirrelly" "Kid" = Squ-Id, squid. It was a name for those with fast bikes and slow minds that crashed a lot. Remember this is an aircooled VW group.

Hello group, I have a subaru 2.2 engine.. what a nightmare of vacuum lines and solenoids... I removed the carb, plugged all the vacuum lines.. cast an adaptor to bolt to the intake manifold, put my solex on it.. It's a very small engine once you get all the crap off it. Has anyone here ever...

Anyone know a trick for getting a lock cylinder out on a 69 bug. I followed the haynes manual ( remove steering wheel, blinker assembly and plate over the cylinder ) then it says insert key and turn it a little and pull. I don't have a key, if I did I wouldn't be changing the lock cylinder. I...

I've gotta '71 Super with a factory sunroof. The "lifters" (whatever they're really called) that pop it up into the final closed and sealed position are shot. I understand that the current after-market replacement systems (cable and all) are of poor quality and not dependable. I'd like to fix...

I took my 1971 Autostick Super Beetle in to be worked on and the repair bill is getting high. the Engine is only firing on 3 Cylinders. He has a rebuilt Autostick engine for 1500 + exchange for one of mine. Anyeone know of a cheaper place ot get a rebuilt Autostick engine? Will be happy when...

I recently decided to revived my dad's '66 beetle that has been hibernating for close to 4 years. Had to get it to drive 160km to my place where (I hoped) I would slowly restore it. Anyway, washed carburetor, checked valves, did a bit of timing and attempted to drive it home. Along the way (about...

We (well, my money and the local VW shop) lifted the rear of my '74 Thing by turning the torsion bars about 2 turns - to the point where we had to notch out the spring plate. The problem I'm having now is serious positive camber. What's the solution? We were thinking maybe bend the trailing arms,...
