Type IV Beetle In The Works: Pistons by
Harry Smith
Hello all.
I've gotten back to working on my engine project again. The 96mm
"AA" pistons/cylinders and Totalseal rings are present and accounted

I put some dropped spindles on my '70 Ghia and love the look but...
Unfortunately even though I've put lower profile tires (195/50-15) it still

Adjustable axle notches by
Spike[_1_]
Hi,
Do the centre adjusters need to be on matching notches top and bottom axle
tube (i.e. in the same position)?
When I moved mine, I adjusted them (in unison) from where they had
individually settled.
Just wanted to check I have it right before moving on to something else.

azazel scratch
I finally installed the new outside scraper on my 1974 Super Beetle and am
happy that I can drive the car when it rains again. Thanks to Jan and Roger
for their input. I pretty much followed Jan's steps. I found that to

Remove door crank, arm rest, release...

'71 sb by

I've had this '71 super beetle for long about 10 years now. It was
driveable for about 2 of those years, and I had a lot of fun with it. It's
been sitting for a LOOOONG time though and it's time I finished what I
started and get it turned into the car I planned to turn it into.

Running Hot. by
Mark Healey
I have a '71 Fuel injected Squareback. It's running hot,burning oil, and
I can't figure out why. The compression is good. The valves are gaped
correctly. The dwell and timing are set. The advance works. The
Voltage regulator works fine. And the seal on the Manifold Pressure
sensor is...

Just wanted to know your thoughts on installing a rear engine brace to
make up for worn out rear transmission mounts. I don't or I am not
ready to pull my engine yet and want to get rid of some slop in the

EGR Light by

The EGR light just lit up on my '78 westy. I think this is an emission
control system, right? How expensive is this to fix? Is it just the EGR
valve? Thank for any help.

Super Beetle starting quark by

History
I have a 1971 super beetle that runs and starts. The thing that is odd
is it will not start with the key. I have to turn the key to start to
get the motor turning over with the starter and have to turn the key
to run to get it to fire. This has been going on for a few years from
what I...
