He came down the back drive just before midnight on Christmas Eve. I was out in the shop, about to call it a night when I heard the unmistakable sound of a Volkswagen running on three cylinders. Bad valve. It was an early model high-roof delivery van. Bright red with white trim. He pulled up...

My 1974 super is having problems where the car starts and runs just fine but none of my accessories work. I sometimes works if I jiggle the key in the ignition. Would this be caused by a bad ignition switch? Accessories include headlights, radio, windshield wipers, fresh air defrost and rear window...

I just got some new Kuhmo Tires, 165/80/15, (great deals for $26 a piece on the net!) for my 1974 Superbeetle. Anyhow, I am going to get them mounted/etc. The "recommended tire pressure" listed on the glove compartment door says Front - 18 psi and Rear 29 psi. This seems too low to me,...

Hello, I'm looking to build a bug from scratch...everything (pan, engine, gearbox, etc). Best place to start to get a parts list, costs, etc? Thank you.

After running around town in 43 Deg C temps the T3 refused to restart. Turns out to be Vapour Lock due to heat. Car was got going by pressurising fuel tank. It occurred to me though that if the mechanical fuel pump was replaced by an electric one at front of car the problem would be solved....
