G'day folks, I'm after some advice about my VW pop-top camper. So you know what I actually have, I call it a 74 Kombi, a guy I know in the UK calls it a 'Bay Window' and a friend in New Jersey calls it a 'Microbus.' It has the larger type rear lights and twin Solex carbies. I bought it because I...

This is just a general question to all of you about the shops in your area. All of those in the Houston Area that I am aware of or have been to, don't make you feel too at ease about leaving your car with them. All are a big mess, junk everywhere, dark garage interior, junked partially disected...

hotVWS has increased from $3.99 to $4.99 if bought at the news stand. Do you think the lack of competition because of the demise of VW Trends had anything to do with that? If you were to buy only four issues a year, you would be paying the same as a 12 month mailed subscription (figuring sales...

Not sure who here is on theSamba as well, so thought this is worth repeating he Purely by accident someone's wife on TheSamba stripped paint with this "power dissolver" made by Dawn. The plus side is that there does not seem to be much of a smell, takes very little quantity to do work,...

Hi! Has anyone tried the Pertronix Ignitor II Electronic Ignition? What did you think of it? TIA!

Hi group, I am looking to buy a beetle but am confused on whether what the owner has done to the beetle is good or bad for it. He has essentially capped off the Fan housing air outputs to the heat vents. (I can send a picture) And also there is no hose from the intake cleaner for preheated...

Looking for a diecast model of the following: 1980 Rabbit, 1969 or 70 Squareback and one of the Type 2 at the 1968 change..already have the old bus..Thanks Howie

Is it possible to put the ring gear in backwards in a type 2 tranny..about 68-69..? Well must be because this IDIOT had 3 speeds backwards and one foward, another he did same model..trans work..noisy r&p so he stuffed the tranny with speedy dry and gear oil... Howie

My got my 78 Cabreolet out of winter storage the other day. It started immediately and my grandson backed it out of the garage and down a gently slopeing driveway. He then cut the engine to retrive something from the house. After about 10 min it refused to restart and it smelled like it was...

I planned to replace the diagonal arm bushings on my '79 bus. I've been told that it's very straightforward project - "just do it!" Figured I would have trouble getting old bushings out and more trouble getting new ones in, but don't want to completely remove the arms to do it. This means I will...

Seat belt interlock relay problems solved as well as ignition switch. BTW, 33 year old ignition switch still works, brand new one lasted a week. Thanks all who helped. Now I've got a question about turn signal relay. My left signal works fine, right signal works but blinks fast. I would...
