Guys, I have about 8 inches of l=play in my steering, and the steering box is the culprit. I visually watched from under the car. The steering coupler has been replaced, and the swing lever is NOTR moving up and down. I tried to adjust the box, but the gear is all the way in. Are these easy...

To All: There are times when you need to put something together fast, often while HOLDING the parts in positionby HAND, such as when you are making a jig or fixture. Many times the fixture is made of whatever wood you happened to have available.... 'good' scrape, if you know what I mean. But...

I get a LOT of mail about adjusting the lash on Volkswagen valves, and much of that mail comes from folks who are FLYING behind a converted VW engine, making it a valid topic for this Newsgroup. The basic message is that for an in-service engine you DO NOT use the adjustment procedure shown in the...

So how's the beetle? Still stock? How's the new garage? Full of tools and a workbench?

Hi all! I was watching my '73 Beetle idle the other day. The crank pulley appeared to wobble a bit as if it were warped. Is this going to hurt anything? Thanks In Advance!

A few of the ac vw owners here that happen to be Puerto Rican, recommend removing the big curved rear engine tine so that the engine will heat up faster. By-the-way I'm not knocking Puerto Ricans. I was thinking of trying it for the cold weather. Then I would replace it in warm weather. My...

Was this a good year for the Beetle? What should people watch out for? How did Volkswagen squeeze out 4 more horse power out of the 1200cc from 1960 to 1961? What are the good points to this year Bug and what are the bad points? I'm thinking of buying one in original condition, mostly rust free.

Neutriinojen oskillaatio pelastikin päivänpaisteen aivan hiljattain. Jo vuonna 1968 oli näet huomattu, että Auringosta tulee vain kolmannes niistä neutriinoista, joita sen säteilyn tuottaminen teoriassa edellyttää. Oli siis syytä epäillä, ettei auringonpaisteen alkuperää ymmärretty kunnolla....

I picked up a 12v, four spade, wiper motor that I would like to put into my 12v '65. Whats the easiest way to bench test it, to make sure it works first of all? Will the motor bolt right into the assembly? I want to replace the original switch for a 2 speed switch. A '67 switch should work. What...

Granted, it sounded like 8 angry woodpeckers were taking up residence in the engine bay, but it started, the two warning lights went out, and I went for a brief drive. It seemed to run okay, and when I stood on the throttle all 49 and a half ponies sprang to life and I rocketed to 40 miles an hour...

BANG! Maailmankaikkeuden historia./Neutriino. Neutriinot ovat pieniä ja hyvin kevyitä hiukkasia. Niitä syntyy ydinfuusiossa, jotka toimivat tähtien (esimerkiksi Auringon, perusydinvoimalan) energian lähteinä. Useiden vuosien ajan neutriinojen oletettiin olevan massattomia, mutta nykyään tiedetään...

not much fun here lately is it :( anyway - I've sorted out my I.D - I'll try and post more (on the non mario threads) :)

Just went to this site and saw that they sold quite a few Beetles that were converted to electric power. I would like to hear feedback from the owners. http://www.preparedness1.com/electric_vehicles.htm http://e-volks.com/electric_car_conversions.html Anyone here have one or seen one? Curious...

I am interested in getting one. What was the last year for carburetor? What was the last year for the fancy override bumpers? Is the car easier to get into the drivers seat than the Beetle. Because the Beetle has the whole "A" pillar in the way of the legs when getting in. On the Type 3 is the...

I've replaced twice now the rear seals on this thing and it keeps leaking. Any thought suggestions? Spacer appears a little pitted- but I cleaned it up best I could with 800 grit sandpaper. Tried to see if I could find a new one online- but can't seem to- oil keeps coming thru this seal...

Got three ACVWs. Bodies are in great shape. The '72 has one very crapped out engine. Going electric on that one. I live in a small rural town. Should be just perfect. Oh, I'll include a gas heater. :) Anyone else?
