Engine won't turn over by
areyouwireless
Hi Folks,
I have recently purchase a 69 VW beetle for my wife (candy apple
red - her toy car) The vehicle was running fine until the battery
died. I just charged it up, and it looks to be fine (headlights turn
on, horn works, etc). However the engine won't turn over. I don't have
a repair manual...

NO OIL! This late box has a special grease in it.
Normally, the box never needs grease added or replaced.

Could someone point me in the right direction to find someone to do an
installation of a gas powered heater? the original owner of my '73 Thing
removed it (and all associated parts, ductwork, etc..) and now I'm not sure
how it goes back together. Of course the install in the book says...

OT Irony by
Bill Berckman
Take a look at this newspaper clipping. They interviewed a pregnant lady who
was concerned about the effect of jackhammers from nearby construction on her
unborn child. The part that is ironic is that during the interview, they have
a photo of her smoking a cigarette. Wonder if that would have...

Rare 73 bus in need of help! by
Wolfgang
Sounds like a resonable price to replace it with a rebuilt engine. The TIV
is much more costly to rebuild than the T1 (of which a gazillion were made
up unitl recently). Ya might try a local votech school where you pay for
parts only and student do the work. They may not en\ven want to know how...

Turn Signals, Sometimes will not blink. by
Sleepy Joe
Hi!
I have a ‘73 VW Beetle.
I bought an AutoZone battery and installed it on 5-28-02. I think it
is time for a new one. With the headlights on, foot on brake
pedal/stop lights on, and turn signals on, sometimes the turn signals
will not blink. After charging the battery I repeat the same...

turbo knowledge by

I'm rebuilding a 1957 bug on a 1979 chassis. Looking for reliable stroker
turbo motor advice. I want the piston size to stay 90mm or smaller, so
what are the options in the motor size and horsepower gain? Where can I

My Bug was squished! Help me to avoid getting screwed! by
Al Gilson
Yesterday a moron in a Ford Taurus did a left turn across my lane right in
front of me. Needless to say, despite all of my best efforts, I smacked
into him at about 25mph. Damage? Yep. Left front fender, bonnet, left
front tire, rim and tire. The spooky part is that there is a slight
crinkle...

WTB: Used tranny bell housing by
Karl
You will have a problem with a type1 bellhousing and 76 and up 228mm flywheels.
If you want to start a Vanagon engine on the stand, you will need a 210mm or 215mm
bus flywheel.
I just saw a bellhousing FS on the Samba.
