Howdy by Malcolm
Thought I'd swing back through. Still tinkering with the VDubs from time to time. If you remember, we bought a sad looking 71 Super for my daughter back in 2002 and I was in here a lot with various questions. Followed that up with a partially restored 69 Type I for myself. Painted the 71 with...

Valve clearance by Anthony W
The guy at the local air cooled VW shop here told me that with swivel foot valve adjusters that the valve clearance should be set at .002" cold. This seems awfully tight to me and I'm concerned about burning up my valves. Any opinions? Tony

Brakes issue by Elvin Rambaran
Hi guys. I have a 1965 Type 1 that is giving me headaches. When I try to brake, the pedal hits the floor. Pumping the brakes causes the brakes to hold, albeit not too well. I have bled the complete system, including the 4 wheel cylinders and the master cylinder, and I have also adjusted the...

Brake drums by azazel scratch
Fellow air-cooled drivers, I saw 2 rear brake drums at a garage sale over the weekend. The drums are used but appear to be in great condition. The guy selling them owned a VW Bug but sold it. He thinks the drums are German but is not sure. I see the letters "BDC" stamped on the inside. If...
