"Upgrading" horn by Mel P.
I want to put a more 'beefer' horn on my Bug, maybe something from a domestic car. Has anyone done this? Would I need to use a relay. I'm tired of the 'meek' horn sound. -- Mel P.

Volkswagen vindicated by its new Rabbit When practically everybody in the car business abandoned hatchbacks as if they were infected with some sort of bird flu, Volkswagen stubbornly stuck to the design with its Golf. at http://www.washtimes.com/autoweekend/20070111-081354-3828r.htm

"Winterizing" - to-do list? by [email protected]
I'm getting ready to take my 73 super off the road for the winter (because Northeast winters are icky). Does anyone have any standard procedures for doing so? In particular: 1. Gas - drain or leave in? 2. Oil - change, drain, or leave in? 3. Tires - leave on, jack up, or take off? Any other...

'61 Engine Removal Problem by [email protected]
We're taking the engine out of this beetle. We were able to remove okay 3 - 17mm nuts holding the engine on. We took the nuts from the 2 bottom bolts and the upper right(passenger side) bolt. Our problem is the top left (driver side) bolt. On the back side the bolt is not fastened by a hex...

'63 beetle: What can a weekend warrior do to make a good front end go bad? by [email protected]
I rebuilt a set of king and link pin assemblies for my '63 beetle and the fiber-like washer in the king pin kit didn't fill the gap 'tween the spindle cylinder and the c'-link body. Now my used-to-drive-like-it-was-on-tracks beetle is drifting and jumping all over the road. Being as this is my...

'63 bug - stock tire question by Dane Tyler
Hi folks, I know this has been discussed at length before, but I just want to be sure before I put the tires on my '63, with the original wheels. Is it best to go with: 1) Radials with tubes, 2) Radials without tubes, 3) Bias-belted without tubes.

'65 bug... defective choke or heater element? by [email protected]
Hey everyone, i posted here earlier about my run-on problems. Many thanks to everyone who replied, but nothing worked out for me. So i've got a new idea. I think that my engine diesels/runs on so badly after i shut it off is because the RPM is too high. I set the idle RPM and mixture properly...

'66 Beetle turn signal switch by Richard Couch
I’m having trouble with turn signal switches on my ’66 Beetle. I say “switches” because I’ve gone through three of them so far. The mounting screws come loose, and I’ve wound up stripping them in my attempts to tighten the mounting screw while maintaining the 1-2mm clearance called for in the...

'67 Beetle: Correct Tire Size by Buick8
Hi, I found a pretty good '67 VW and need new tires. It has 5.60X15 now. I see about three common sizes of radials: 165X15, 155X15, and 145X15. Which is closest to my tire size? I like the original look of the 5.60s and don't want tires which look too big (diameter and/or section) but can't afford...

'67 Bonnet won't open by Tom Lacombe
My son just bought a '67 Bug, and the seller couldn't open the bonnet. He said it would take two people to open it as the cable or locking mechanism was not adjusted properly. One person was to pull the knob on the dash while another lifted on the bonnet handle. The seller pulled on the knob until...

'67 VW Crusing Speed by ilaab
I will be going on a small trip for me but a seemingly long trip for my VW. It has a single port 1600, appearing to be all stock. I have aftermarket chrome half moons but the tires are just a little wider than stock. I also don't have a tach and other than me, I will have about 100 lbs of...
