Rearview mirror by
bug '59
Hello Ramva,
A buddy of mine gave me his spare rearview mirror.
It's the one which you can 'click' away with a knop at the bottom.
My guess is it's from a mexi beetle since he owned one.
The question here is how to replace the stock one ('73 std) with this one?
(if possible)

Beetle vs Super Beetle by
Papa
I'm talking about pre-1998 Beetles. What years were the Super Beetles
produced for US customers? What years were the regular Beetles produced for
US customers?
I have read many comments from supposed experts that say the regular Beetle
was better than the Super Beetle. If so, why is...

Almost OT and STUPID question by
JJ[_3_]
Okay, so my lady's (mumble, mumble) American car is losing air in the
front tires like crazy. It's winter. She's got aluminum rims. I can't
believe we got slow rubber/compound leaks in both at once.
IF the issue is the rims, can something be done to seal 'em up? Do I
have to (or can I) put...

FI mpg question by
Houdsie
I have come to the conclusion that my '73 SB does not like me. I am
currently thinking of selling her and buying something that needs less
work to restore. I don't have the time to commit right now to a
restoration. My question is I'm looking for a Bug that has good fuel
economy and reliability...

Where to find Porsche rods for type 1 by
Karls
Hello RAMVA, I recently noticed that most cranks sold online come with
VW or Chevy rod journals, and rods are sold with the same options. I
remember that a few years ago it was common to find Porsche rod
journals on performance cranks. Why is it getting so difficult to get
rods for this journal?...

I'm sure this has been discussed here before but I can't seem to find it in
a search of the group so excuse me for asking again....
Is there a way to polish scratches out of a windshield? Ignore the fact that
the whole thing could be replaced, I'd like to know if anyone has ever had
any luck...

My 77 Bug w/ stock FI, seems to run rough. I timed it with a timing light
and tach. But when I do that, it idles very rough and lacks power. If I
increase the RPM, the idle is more smooth, but it sounds extremely high.
Also, it will misfire when accelerating.
I've done the following with no...

Ok, I'm sure this has been discussed to death, but after google group
searching I'm still not satisfied any answers. I just had my oil changed in
a '66 bug w/ 1300cc engine. They used 10w-30 and said that this is the
