help - hooking up a fresh air box on a 1302... by Barnhart Pinball
Hello: I'm putting the fresh air box in my daughter's 72 Super Beetle after tearing it down and fixing the blower fan (and the vent flaps). The problem is I didn't remove it, the previous owner had it laying in the trunk along with the defroster ducts (which are fun to put back, trust...

Had to break out the power tools already. by Shag
I couldn't stand it. Had a few beers, walked outside, looked at the bug. Had an idea and it involved power tools. Half an hour, half a cigar, and one beer later... Much better. Who'd have thought that about $2 worth of "stuff" and one power tool and a half hour of work could make that much...

Fuel issues - 1969 Bug by Dane Tyler
Hey guys, I've got a problem with my '69 Bug that I can't figure out. This is probably a good question for the old carburetor pros. Anyway, car has 1600 single port engine with fairly new (about 4 years old) Solex/ Brosal H30/31 carb. Ok, car runs fine in most conditions except for inclines, and...

removing a THING engine by LLBrown
I got lots of good comments about removing an engine in 6 minutes, thanks. I want to take the engine out of my THING. Because it is so tall anyway will I need to jack the THING up to drop the engine? Regards Leonard (new at this)

Bench Bleeding revisited by John Boy
Your impressions, please. I am installing a new master cylinder into the '72 Standard Bug. Isn't just as easy to bleed the MC after installing as it is to do it on a bench? It seems to me that filling the resevoir and connecting it to the two MC inlets, then with the brake lines off, pump the...

Fuel Filter location by John[_28_]
Any one have any comments about installing a fuel filter in between the fuel pump and carbies on a Type 3 ( or I guess any car). You hear the odd comment you shouldnt but apart from the filter bursting under pressure I cant think of any reason why not. John

Finally pulled the engine in my 1303! by Howard Rose[_1_]
I've been threatening to do this for ages now, but finally managed to get around to it. It's the first time I've removed an engine from a Beetle, and I have to say it really IS as easy as people say! It took me about 45 minutes on my own, which I don't think is too bad at all. I used Jan's...

6 minute pull? by LLBrown
VW use to advertise that the engine could be taken out in 6 minutes. What was their starting point? Does that include the tin? A bit of advice from friends in other fields..... take the number of hours alloted for a job times 2, then convert that into days.... any 2 hour job really takes 4...

Camber by bug '59
Hi Ramva, My '73 is due for balljoint replacement. It passed the MOT without problems but there is some play at it. I bought a complete set (lowered) when I purchased my disc-brakes, which I obviously still haven't installed yet. I was wondering since it is a swing axel, the camber on the back is...
