Seen the newest one? Girl walks out to here snow covered bug, puts here hot Taco Bell Burrito on it, and it melts all the snow off it while shes fumbling for her keys?

Here's a thought. Anyboy used synthetic oil and what do you think of it? I've just overhauled a motor but didn't go into the case, just new pistons and cylinders. I seem to remember you couldn't use synthetic oil straight out of the gate. Someone please refresh my memory and give me the benifit of...

Next week I'm taking the Wonderbus to a shop that some Vanagon fellows here in town have recommended as a good place to get some VW servicing: Brad's Foreign Auto in Encinitas, CA (If you have some knowledge about these guys pro or con, please advise). I know I should be doing everything myself --...

Hey All, I've got slack in the drivers door hinges on my 76 vert. Is there a tool available, either store bought or homemade that will allow me to press out the pins in the hinge instead of beating them out with a punch and hammer? Have any of you changed them out? I'm wide open to any 'best...

I am going to haul home the project tomorrow and am wondering what might be the best way to get the front turning. I noticed that the PO has unbolted the steering column from the dash assembly to try removing the ignition switch. Would the best method be to just unbolt the steering column from the...

Hi all In furthere stripping of my 75, I found that one cylinder has not been sitting right on the head because one can tell that this is where it must have lost compression. When I did a compression test, I found that cylinder lacking so now it makes perfect sense. The mounting nuts/studs...

Greetings! My first and only car (an old Honda Civic) is dying. Instead of keeping it on life support, I'm going to allow it to have death with dignity: at the end of the month, it's being sold as scrap. I'd love to get a car that is somewhat user-friendly. I've heard positive things about the old...

In stripping the axhaust off my 75 bug, I had no choice but to split most nuts because of rust. They were all coil nuts for some reason. (nuts with a helicoil inside -- usually used when high stress applications). Does this application require hardware like or is this just overkill? Maybe that's...

I need some help from anyone who is familiar with older VW beetles. This could help me in a criminal case. I am looking for documentation that would give me the wheel base and track measurements and if any VW beetles has positive traction. I have tire tracks in my yard that are associated with...

Hello all Last night on my way home my rear end started making a noise (ooh eer !! ) The noise was like someone hiting once with a hammer every wheel revolution.

OK. I give up. UNCLE!! The rear brakes on my 67 bug have frozen. (Yes the emergency brake is off ...) When I started trying to repair it, I couldn't get the brake drum off because the brakes were "on" constantly. After trying several ways to get it loose, I tried loosening the bleeder screw and...

Hi All, Been offered an original 1967 roofrack for my bug, and I'm not entirely sure it's 'original'. Anyone out there have pictures of a true roofrack, or know where I should look for the vw logo on it? What other signs should I check for? TIA! Pls email me at...

Some things just make me shake my head and go "Hmm"/ 1955 DD walkthru panel. (Probably a panel, at least. Was difficult to tell. More below.) 1963 deluxe of some kind, at least it had a lot of deluxe parts on it, but wasn't 15 window or anything interesting. The Story: 199X sometime: they park...
