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...

Just joining the group by
John Ahnen
Just found this ng, hope ya'll will be able to help us out over the next
little bit. We bought a '72 super beetle that needs some work and my wife
wants to restore it to the point where it is reliable.
When we have specific questions, I'll ask. From what I've seen so far, this
looks like a good...

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.

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...

Fellow air-cooled drivers,
First of all thanks to Jan for giving me the steps to remove and replace the

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...

Clutch plate removal by
Howard Rose[_1_]
I need to remove the old flywheel/clutch assembly from my old engine
and transfer it to the new one. Both are AR-code 1300's, so should be
interchangeable.
To remove the flywheel, one must also remove the outer clutch housing,
which is held in place by several allen-headed bolts (hex...
