Today a scrap dealer called me that he had a beetle engine in. I went to look, not a beetle, looks very similar though. Block looks like a 1600 but large gear in the center instead of pully, flat distributor, on heads are 2 valve covers with each a rocker arm, so one rocker arm per cylinder. Also...

I heard that, unless one get an original fender, it is best to buy them in pairs (left and right) so that...

Hi there, I have a '67 Kombi that won't start. Initially, it was turning over but not firing. I replaced the fuel filter and miraculously it started up, and I was excited. I turned it off, tried to start it later, and NOTHING. No solenoid click, no headlights, no alternator light, no fuel...

Hi, Is it possible to put a 1970 Type 2 motor and manual transmission into a Type 4 that used to have an automatic transmission? If so, is it a complex conversion or fairly easy? I can buy a 412 (w/o motor or tranny) for $150. It's a 1974 (if I recall correctly) w/ 4 doors.

I have a 2 litre air-cooled engine which I am about to convert to lpg, as lpg burns much hotter than petrol I want to do everything possible to keep the temperature down, so what can I do, I guess most of the work would involves the lubrication system such as types of oil, coolers + more. Any...
