I need some help - I recently replaced most of the front end on my 73 Super Beetle; I had no idea how old the parts were and they were showing some serious wear. To make a long story short, the car now has a new center tie rod, new outer tie rods and ends, new ball joints, and a new(er) steering...

Me and my wife are in our beater 73 Super (not the good 73 that isn't completed yet) just got on the highway after filling up the tank. Not even a half mile up the road the steering fall starts to shake, then got worse quickly. Instinct says let off on the gas and pull over. Right then the...

Not even over and I can see what a joke of a resto that bus is. Trust me thats not the way to do that bus, Think after the baja and this 58 they must think VW's are not worth doing a quality job on. Mario

So what am I doing wrong? I've tried this both the traditional two-man "pump, pump, pump, hold!" method as well as the one-man vacuum pump (mighty mite) method, and I still seem to get a small stream of air bubbles out of all of my bleeder's nipples. Is this acceptable? Is it normal? The brakes...

Hi all, I've picked up a stock steering wheel and horn pad from separate sources, but now I can't figure out how to assemble. How does the horn pad stay attached to the steering wheel--it seems like it ought to just "snap" onto the plastic part that covers the steering column just behind the...

Hi, As someone who gets a lot out of these VW groups I thought I'd like to give something back. Thanks to those who answered my questions before on the horn wiring, and although no-one managed to give me a definitive answer, they helped get me thinking in the right direction. Below follows a...

Well it has been 3 or 4 years since I have heard about VWoA suing anyone over a domain name or something else if anyone still remembers that. If you were going to buy a new commuter car, would you go with a Watercooled VW? The reason I ask is that someone who knows that I have an old VW, asked...

I was wondering if anyone has performed the conversion of putting a Type IV motor into your Beetle. From what I've read, the Type IV is stronger and more reliable than the Type 1 motor. I was wanting to know if anyone had done the conversion and if they were happy with it. Any information would...

To All: It's been more than ten years since I began posting VW fix-it-up billy-dews to the Internet. The first article I posted told folks how to prevent engine fires, addressing a problem Volkswagen addressed official in 1957 or '58 in a Service Note to their dealers. Time has added a few more...

My 9-year-old son just asked me why people say "Ladies first" and my daughter was standing beside him when he asked. I told him it was because it is the polite thing to do and then he asked the dreaded question. "Why?" Why is it the polite thing to do? I sorta wanted to tell him that it's...
